Speeding Along

We signed the lease last night, the agent was lovely after the disaster of the other day. Passed over the bond, signed our signatures many times over and the place is ours. We are so lucky with the current tenant – she is trying to get out by Thursday which means we may actually get the keys late Thursday night.

My room is pretty much packed now – I really need to get stuff in the car before I can do much more. Will probably pack up the PC this evening so mail and blogs may be a little infrequent until the office is all set up. Reminds me that I must check and see where there is a phone plug. Poor Rae is plugging along getting her and Phee ready, the boxes in her lounge are amazing.

It’s all very exciting, Saturday seems a long time away.

Babies

Trish pointed me at the Coles Baby Club so I joined Helen up, she gets a great little package of sample stuff, hope she enjoys it.

Clients

Clients make me angry – invoice for $1500 is a month overdue and I get an email overnight asking for something to be done before 9.00 am this morning. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

And On The Ball Rolls

Cleared out a lot of clothes last night, an overstuffed garbage bag of late 90’s shirts was deposited at St Vinnies 7.15 this morning. There’s probably more I should throw, will double check as I finish the clothes in the ‘ironing pile’ this evening.

Tonight is the lease signing in Newport – makes it all very real when you squigle your signature on that line. I can’t wait. Hauling that bed and junk down stairs, that I can wait for.

It’s a bit of overload at the moment on the excitement front too. The new Star Wars filmn is 9 days away. All reports are glowing. Can’t get any better than this.

Cleaning

Room is slowly getting packed away. Most cathartic. Finding many old memories. Some I have kept, some I have let go.

And Up We Go Again

Looks like now we will get the place – only not tomorrow, but Saturday morning. The current tenant has agreed to try and be out by then! Talk about a roller coaster day.

Hide All Weapons

The agent screwed up and are saying we can’t move in until the 16th. Rae is furious, I have a quiet rage. After everything had been organised for tomorrow and now this. The 16th is just not conveniet at all. If it wasn’t for the fact I have the worlds best flatmate I would be in a serious situation.

Busy bee

Busy morning – Rae’s got the utilities organised, I’ve got the insurance and keys organised. We get the keys tomorrow night which takes a little strain off moving everything next weekend. Have also taken care of mail redirection, found out about bundling services with Telstra (details announced this month). Even borrowed another 10 boxes from recylcing so it’s all systems go. Must pack a heap tonight so I can bring it all with me tomorrow. Time for a breather and a walk in the sun.

Bye Bye Amex

Cancelled my American Express card just now. I stopped using it a while ago after they charged me $20 for missing a payment – that was due between Christmas and New Years. The girl on the phone offered to give me the money back but I cancelled anyway.
