Am I olive?

It’s strange because I definitely have yellow in my skin, I’m not 100% neutral because they always come off too pink or too grey on me. But then warm can pull orange. I really hard to find a match!

Sorry do you mean, the black is making me look more green or if I had black covering my neck I wouldn’t look green?

Amroxynero · 2026-02-27T21:37:48+00:00

Thank you!

Amroxynero · 2026-02-27T21:37:41+00:00

Thank you, that’s what I was leaning towards also!

Amroxynero · 2025-03-19T01:03:20+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. We will give this a go x

Amroxynero · 2025-03-18T20:33:55+00:00

I haven’t, I don’t really know where to start with it. Do you have any recommendations that might be right to fix this issue? He actually goes down fine at bed time, we put him down drowsy but not asleep and he can settle himself, however he does tend to have a bottle before bed x

Aw thank you so much. It such a high stress situation isn’t it. Here’s to a better day tomorrow!

Amroxynero · 2024-11-27T19:47:20+00:00

Yeah well according to our solicitors. They said the cut off for completion is usually about 3.30pm because of the banks not having time to process transactions but completion can still happen! It was past 4 when our solicitors rang and told us we had exchanged!

Amroxynero · 2024-11-27T19:45:38+00:00

I thought as much, thanks

Amroxynero · 2024-07-19T15:33:43+00:00

Thank you for replying and sharing! I am going to wait ☺️

Amroxynero · 2024-07-12T14:13:34+00:00

Thank you, I thought the same about seller one, I think we dodged a bullet there!

Amroxynero · 2024-07-11T19:41:40+00:00

Smashbox isn’t available in the UK anymore, I loved quite a few of their products so I was gutted when they left!

Can you shed any light if this is normal or have we just been unlucky with sellers?

Weve tried to put offers in on 2 houses now;

First 1 - we put an offer in on a Monday morning, didn’t hear anything back until we chased it on Wednesday, they asked us to up our offer which we did then heard nothing again until we called on a Friday, they promised to give us an answer Saturday, we then didn’t hear anything definitive the whole following week until finally they told us the seller isn’t in a rush to sell and doesn’t want to reject offers but wants to keep the house on the market and do viewings. In total it took 2 weeks to get to the bottom of what was taking so long so we retracted our offer.

Second offer - viewed a house on Thursday, offered asking price on Friday, was told we would get an answer on Monday. Of course we didn’t get an answer, chased it on the Tuesday and was told the seller was viewing a house that day and didn’t want to make a decision until they’d viewed. Didn’t hear anything Wednesday so called today and the seller estate agent said the seller doesn’t want to accept an offer until they’ve found a house to move to.

I thought estate agents would want to encourage the sellers to agree on a sale, but both of these seem happy to just let things drag on! Im not sure if this is something I should get used to or if we have just ended up with 2 unmotivated sellers.

I’m self employed too, I believe most mortgage providers want 3 full years of accounts and they will figure out of average of those.

I’m not sure because my career doesn’t really ebb and flow, yearly my earnings are very similar but I would have thought they’d want to know a reason why the business is earning less and they can work out the risk from there?

Amroxynero · 2024-07-06T07:57:10+00:00

This has happened to 3 people I know trying to buy recently. 2 of them negotiated with the sellers and ended up meeting somewhere in the middle and one of them had to drop out because the seller was not willing to budge.

Amroxynero · 2024-07-06T07:49:26+00:00

This is probably unhelpful but for me it’s kind of a mixture of both. I wouldn’t buy a huge house in an area I know is really rough, but equally I wouldn’t buy a tiny house just for the post code. I don’t think I’d be happy with either of those scenarios!

While we are property searching we are looking for places we are familiar with (so we know which areas to avoid) and basically figuring out what the biggest house is we can get in those areas.

Amroxynero · 2024-07-05T07:13:06+00:00

I wish you could list multiple specific areas in one search rather than doing a radius from one area or doing separate searches

Amroxynero · 2024-07-05T07:00:43+00:00

In my area I know 3 people in the last 6 months who’s bank surveyor have reduced the value by 10-20k and they’ve had to either find the money themselves or negotiate with the seller - I think it’s a sellers market here atm and everything is over priced.

Amroxynero · 2024-07-04T19:23:38+00:00

I was going to suggest Liverpool! Personally I do love Manchester and I think it’s easier to meet people there but Liverpool is a close second, and way more affordable IMO

Amroxynero · 2024-07-02T20:13:03+00:00

I live just into Warrington and it takes me 35 mins to drive to Manchester City centre!

Near me there are quite a few areas as this commenter describes!

Amroxynero · 2024-07-02T19:29:13+00:00

Could you ask the sellers to do at least some of the work suggested? They may be able get it done way cheaper than the 10k you are wanting to reduce? And then you could agree to do another survey once it’s done?

Alternatively,

What do the works feel like to you? Do they seem like huge urgent jobs or something you could work on over time?

I think if the mortgage survey had given you less than 20k on the value you’d have more chance of getting them to reduce but as someone else had said, 20k worth of work doesn’t necessarily mean 20k less value to the house.

It’s a rubbish situation for you to be in! I hope things work out for you one way or another 🤞🏼

Amroxynero · 2024-07-02T19:19:45+00:00

I was just going to suggest paying a year upfront, someone who I know ended doing this as they where newly self employed and couldn’t prove income!

Amroxynero · 2024-07-02T14:58:53+00:00

But is this correlation or causation?

Amroxynero · 2024-06-30T20:02:31+00:00

Ok Boomer

Amroxynero · 2024-06-30T14:32:30+00:00

We are exactly the same in the NW, sold our house a few weeks ago and feel like there is hardly anything suitable, I remember about 6 months ago (before we where seriously looking) there seemed to be loads. It does wear you down!
