It’s been a long time since my last post, but there has been lots happening so I don’t feel too bad about it.
First, the house is complete! “No, it can’t be true”, I hear you say. Well my friends, you better believe it. Settlement is happening tomorrow and we will be picking up the keys probably about 3pm. I should clarify something though. When I say “complete” I mean everything is done but the garage door, which will be installed on Tuesday next week.
Needless to say, Jane and I are very excited that we have finally made it. After originally planning to settle on 26 May, being 10 weeks late has been a bit of a pain in the bum. But we won’t dwell on that aspect, instead we will rejoyce in the knowledge that we are about to enter the world of mortgages and of being at the mercy of the Reserve Bank. Speaking of which, there have been two interest rate rises between when our loan was originally approved and now, before we have even borrowed a cent. Bummer!
Anyone who is willing to lend a hand moving on the weekend is welcome to drop me a line.
The second big thing that’s happened in the last week is I got a new job. I’m soon to become the Media and Communications person at a place in the city. I’m looking forward to it. I will be managing a large CMS website, as well as producing publications and flyers and ay other graphic design things they need. I already know a few people who work there (that’s how I found out about the opening) so that should make the transition nice and easy.
For now, that’s enough from me.
