So we countered at $151,900 and wanted to move the closing day foward from Monday the 15th to Friday the 12th. (Because if we close on Monday Spyros will have to take off of both jobs, whereas Friday it could be none.)

Jeff called about 10 minutes ago and said he countered at $148,000, plus he wants to stick to the 15th. Come on... you're getting an assessed house of $180,000 for cheap, at least you could give us the closing date!!!!

Irritation, but.... Jeff is calling our loan office to run some numbers and to see what is the lowest we can go to cover all the costs. If $148,000 works, that's fine, but I think it's going to have to be at least $150,000 to cover everything. We shall see...

The other party that was interested isn't ready to make an offer yet. Plus I think their financing is too low....

It's supposed to be 45 degrees today, which is like Spring for us. If it is that warm, we'll probably go out into the garage to do some more cleaning/packing.

Frugal/Simple Thought of the Day: Pay complete attention to your partner/child/pet today. Instead of watching TV or reading when they are talking to you, turn the tube off or set down your book. They will appreciate more then you will ever know.
