Tentative yay.

Okay, the gods may be smiling favourably on us.

I have put down a conditional holding deposit on a house. Its very nice and has pretty much everything that we want. I say conditional as we just need to get the landlord to sort out plumbing for the dishwasher--I'll be damned if I'm putting a perfectly good dishwasher in the shed for six months--and a pump for the shower to up the water pressure. The landlord is getting someone in tomorrow to quote for the above, and she seems really keen to let it to us. A bit of flirting with the letting agent seems to go a long way. Why yes, I am shameless.

Keep your fingers crossed, sacrificial knives honed and goats tied to the altar....

I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to sacrifice goats - they are just too sweet with those soulful eyes looking up at me. However, I think the Gods may be satisfied with a Senate's worth or two of Republicans? Would that do?

*proceeds to cross fingers*

Mmm. I think of goats as ill-tempered food, rather than sweet. I've never met a pleasant goat, however, I've eaten several tasty ones.... But yes, feel free to sacrifice as many Republicans as you like.

Should be able to fax off the application forms tomorrow afternoon once the quotes come in.

I was just going to ask you if I could sacrifice a tastier animal, like chickens, but you seem to think goat meat is okay, so I'll just ship the meat off to you after the sacrifice.

I may still sacrifice a chicken along with it, though. 'Cause I likes me some chicken dinner.

Feel free to sacrifice a chicken instead--your icon is v.appropriate for this. You could do fried chicken!

*crosses all relevant part of her anatomy* I'm sending all the good vibes to you I can. I really hope all this follows through for you guys!

Thanks, Kate! *hugs*

[silentinflames.livejournal.com]

YESS!! Oh, I'm keeping all available digits crossed that it will work out. I'm thrilled for you. :D

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Brigitte! I'll be even happier when we've got the keys and I can stop whining at you guys about house stuff :D

Sacrificial lurcher tied to altar wondering what the fuck is going on, oh yes. Let me know when I can sweep the knife down, wouldja?

*Wonders if training classes would be less messy*

Or I can donate Doris' dinner...?

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Classes probably would be less messy, but keeping him tied to an altar should keep him out from under your feet for a wee while ;)

[dreammonkey.livejournal.com]

OOH! that's so cool :) I shall keep everything crossed for you ! :D
Where is it?

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Downend, just down the road from the school that Dave went to as a wee nipper. Nice area, wouldn't mind buying a house there.

So sleepy.

[dreammonkey.livejournal.com]

Oh! So it IS Bristol then?
I like Bristol :)

[silicondreams.livejournal.com]

Teantative YES!!! All is crossed and I have a couple of posers tied to the altar... *polishes ritual knife*

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks, Lia!

Am I too late to say YAY?

I do hope it works out for you. It's interesting. In the cinema I have seen that has any scenes dealing with finding housing, there is a line out the block. I thought that was an exageration...but I suppose not.

Pray tell, the cause?

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

The cause? Of which, m'dear? Our urge to move, or the lines?

We haven't seen any lines snaking around corners, but the majority of houses are being let within 24 hours of them going on the market. When we gave notice on our current house, we failed to take into consideration that we'd be competing against students and new university staff for properties and thus, we've had a hell of a time finding a place.

I think we've looked at seven places in total, and had three viewings cancelled as the property was let shortly before we arrived. Very sucky. In comparison, when we did the search for our current house, I looked at three houses and found this one on the second day of our search. Previous house, we only looked at two places and made a quick decision.

[hanks-lil-pit.livejournal.com]

I guess it's just that here...houses are on the market ForEver. Whether you're selling or renting them. So different than there and I find that curious. Makes me wonder why.

[jessie-s-girl.livejournal.com]

I'm happy for you, Ang.

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Yvie.

[reuss.livejournal.com]

Shameless == results :)

Fingers crossed!

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Thanks, B! Please tell me that buying is easier? (At least we'll now be living in the area where we want to buy, that's got to make things easier already, right?)

[reuss.livejournal.com]

... um... well...

Buying _can_ be easier. It sounds like you've had a particular nightmare with this, and I've never had this many problems sorting out rented accommodation, but then I've never had to do it at such a distance.

But we had a complete nightmare with the buying for the first month (thanks to being screwed around by the mortgage advisor at an estate agents), but after that it was easy! I think being at the bottom of a very short chain helped us out quite a lot.

On principle, I can't bring myself to sacrifice any animal. Will the gods be pleased with ritual dancing and chanting? [lifts drum up hopefully]
