is such a pain in the tukus!!
You get your hopes up so high when you find out you have viewers (my parents think it's hilarious that English people call them viewers-- only place you get viewers in America is to a funeral wake!!!)... and then the estate agent rings you up and either changes the appointment time (after you've texted all your friends to ask them to keep you in their prayers... or cancels it altogether!
Then there's the worst experience... the no-show. You do all the tidying, get everything looking swish, get yourself all excited to show the people around and wait for them to turn up...
and then they don't. And they don't ring (because they don't have your phone number)... so you don't know if they're just lost, or late, or just can't be bothered to come because they weren't ever interested in the first place!!!
Anyhow, we thought we were going to have our third no-show in a row (with an added cancellation in between as well!) but they did finally turn up. I was so glad to see them I didn't even care that they were an hour or so late.
So I showed them around and they seemed to really like it. So we'll see what happens -- they also viewed the house on Fern Crescent that is up for sale with Timothy A. Brown.
I know that ultimately God has a plan for all of this, and that the right people will come along sooner or later, but it's still a horrible feeling when people don't turn up... depressing and frustrating all at the same time.
