Home Viewing

We have a couple coming to view our home on Monday afternoon which has be done through a housing association home swapper site.

I would love to make a cake for them but cannot decide between a fairly plain Madeira cake or a Victoria Sponge with home made jam inside, which to go for ??????

We are then hoping to view their home on either Tuesday or Wednesday but I guess that depends on whether they like ours first.

Victoria Sponge every time!

yes and add some cream for a touch of luxury. Good luck with the swap

I just had to check that I still had some of my home made plum jam left, phew thankfully I do.

Don't overdo it Kathy lol, but the smell of baking is a great idea Xx

Ermmmmm do you think I should do a loaf of bread too ????????

Or pop to m&s and buy one...lol

Hash cake
No Victoria sponge 100%

Whatever cakes and breads you provide you'll have done the best you can - I really do hope that all goes well for you - good luck hun ><

As long as it wasn't in your pants or on the kitchen floor you should be fine.
Good luck hope it goes well.

P.s. Save me some viccy sponge

Good luck!!! You'll be fine, it isn't you thats under scrutiny! lol

Our viewees have now gone, I think it all went well. We now have to make arrangements to go and look at their house. Hopefully get this done in the next couple of days.

good luck Kathy , what cake did you settle for in the end

Great news, hope they loved your house and you love theirs when you go.

Went with the Victoria sponge and I made a loaf of bread in the machine too, that smells amazing when you walk in the front door.

I have emailed to ask if we can view their home on Wednesday, fingers crossed that goes well too.

Thats great news fingers crossed, and baking bread is always a winner

That and the sight of loads of shots lined up on the kitchen worktop. Then when they walk into the kitchen you and the kids start going down them!, down them!
Always makes them feel at home

One top tip...whisper into the male parties ear that you just have to move as the next door neighbours wife refuses to stop sunbathing naked.. There the smell ofbread and then there is testostorone...

Good Luck Hope it all goes well for you Kathy

And Boys

No idea about home swapping but hope all goes well!

We are going to view their house tomorrow at mid day. Have just charged up the camera and ready to go.

I think they liked the flat but they didn't want to say anything until we had been to see their house "in case we dont like it". So long as it's a quiet area that all that matters really.

Yay!! Congrats and good luck, I hope you like their house

Glad it went well. Fingers crossed your viewing goes well too

Thanks everyone, the viewing went very well. The house has a huge garden, Rocky will love it. Unfortunately he didn't get to see it today, we left him in the car when we got there as they have cats, that wouldn't go well

All the rooms are a good size, kitchen dinner, lounge, utility room, bathroom with full size bath and shower, separate toilet and two large bedrooms . I dont think we have enough furniture at the moment, we dont have a dining table to begin with, but that will come later i dont know

They were a bit concerned that our flat is small, which is very true, and they may not be able to fit all their possessions in here , but will look at the room dimensions and sizes and see what they can juggle around, if so they we can go ahead with the swap.

everything crossed here XxX

Oh I do hope it all works out for you - the house sounds lovely.
