“Just for once in my life, cut me a little slack.  
The house we’re buying is on the market for £183k. Everyone says a 10% less offer is a good starter. They refused 165. Then 170. Now 173. Good grief. We want this place! They know it. And have me by the short and curlies.  
Give me a break Og. Tell me they’ll accept 178…”

Desperation knows no bounds.

This **OG**.

**OG** not in now.

**OG** out to smash puny hopes of puny people.

Leave message… and sacrifice.

**OG** get back to you when return. Bring pie.

\*Good luck with that house 🙂

So the sacrifice thing… Anything in particular? I got some free time.

**BadBadger** , you’ve got to be prepared to not take the house in order to get it at the price you want. Otherwise you’re going to pay what they want. Up to you.
