I've noticed that there are a couple of houses locally that have been on the market for quite a while with Haart. So what have they done to help get that sale? They have changed the old 'for sale' signs for posher 'for sale' signs. I'm no marketing expect but I don't see the point of that. I mean, its not like you get to keep the for sale sign when you move in. Mind you when we were trying to sell our house, I was in the process of making a scarecrow for the scarecrow trail and the conservatory was full of straw and papier-mache heads, and maybe that was part of the reason it didn't sell. I always thought that when people look around a house they ignore what's in it at the moment, because that's not what its going to be like when they buy it, and imagine how the house would be if they lived in it, but maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps superficial things like a posher for sale sign really do make the difference. It has been a little while since they started using the posher signs and neither house has sold, although I have noticed that another estate agent has started using the same type of sign.
Yesterday it was non-uniform day at school. The children had to bring in a Easter egg for to donate to the great Easter scramble in exchange for coming to school not in uniform. This went off without a hitch partly because of the carefully chosen Easter eggs (ones that they weren't so keen on so they wouldn't be too upset about giving them away) and also despite my husband saying that if he was at school he would have worn his school uniform and eaten the Easter egg. It was a relief to get to school and find that it was actually the right day and that they hadn't come not in uniform when all the other children had.
