Laura and buying a house!

Laura came over last night so I could help her put some music on her iPod. All she seams to like is cheesy or tragic music. so at least there is someone with worse taste than me.

I think she is coming back over on Sunday to sort some more stuff out on the computer. I was gonna post a picture of her but think I better ask 1st. We used to work together at the Red Cross, we were also in the same year at Wolsingham Comprehensive.

Otherwise all I have done, is try to buy a house. Its probably the biggest decision I have made and certainly costing me a fortune. I put an offer in on Tuesday but it was rejected, then made another for 74,000. I was then told that if I offered 76,000 I would probably get it. I didn't want to spend that much as it needs a new roof on the extension. Upped my offer to 75,000 yesterday but they are still trying to decide whether to accept. It's taking ages because 3 of them have to agree. I am not making another offer after this if they reject it, it's already £1,000 more than I wanted to pay. So they can take it or leave it.

I'm still waiting to see the other house along the street but the estate agent still hasn't got the keys from the bloke selling it. It puts you off buying it, if its taking him this long just to hand over keys how much hassle would it be trying to buy it from him. That house is up for £74,000 so could afford the asking price but it is 2 bedroom compared to 3 for the one I have offered on.
