Weather - 17C and overcast
So, with three hours sleep and a burgeoning hangover I'm fit to show people round some houses. Still at least I'm not looking after the boy today, I don't envy the wife that one, especially with the size of her hangover.
Busier than expected today with three viewings (hold the front page!). Lots of calls and people in the door though. The door, yes. The door that you are barely able to open as it is so sticky. I have trouble and I know it's bad. Talk about turning customers away. Got a viewing at an ex-council house which has been on the market for months and months and has little or no interest. They've finally dropped their price, although I can't see it making much odds. It's not a very nice estate and the chap opposite has what appears to be a used car business set up in his front garden(!).

Des is in today, first time I've seen him in a while due to the nature of his business i.e. flying around the world every week. He is in and out like a yo-yo at the moment which I think is driving Alba mad although he doesn't think so. I'm staying out of it. I'm just going to work every weekend until someone says stop!
More phone calls, this really must stop, I'm just not used to the pressure. Someone actually asking me about the areas around Berkhamsted. Do I look like an estate agent? Er, well, yes, I suppose I do.
Couple of viewings with a young couple and it's nearly time to go home. They didn't like the ex-council house either, but only because it needs so much work. Yes, not only is it ex-council but it also needs a lot of TLC (like 30Ks worth). Not worth the 280K that it's on for I think (and neither does anyone else apparently). Sleep is most definitely on the menu!

Here is a BBC property blog on the current state of affairs which is quite interesting.
