This week I have been making plans for the garden. DH said after the last people looked at our house & made a very low verbal offer, that we would not be renewing the real estate contract if it didn't sell....then adding "but I think it will". Having no open this weekend due to an auction around the corner, I enjoyed my week and made plans to do this & that in the garden.
After a chat with DH about our finances, I was walking in the back garden thinking how we really would be better off if we sold this. Little knowing that the real estate agent would call & set up a time for people to come look at our house tomorrow, only bother is now I need to spruce it up again.
My yougest son cheered when I said someone was coming to look through the house. I get tense & a bit bossy/shouty about the clean up. One way to ruin a weekend I reckon. We can't even hide at the neighbors as they have already moved. Need a better plan so I don't get too stressed about the cleanliness of the house, they know we are living here! It does me no good to get all tense about people coming to look. If they like the house & garden they can see beyond our stuff & the way we keep the house.
It is such a crappy thing to sell your house. Would like that we had our wakeup call before we bought this but we didn't and now we get to endure a little discomfort to reinforce the lesson of living well within your means!
Happy Saving.
