Roof Over Our Heads

Listening to: Stone Sour - Through Glass

--

We have a house to move into. The inside is a bit like a Swiss chalet, or maybe a Swedish sauna:



But hey, at least we can put up some photos of black and white cows and pretend we're somewhere in snowy Europe.

The agent for our current place has been a right tool; pushing us around, trying to get us to sign a periodic lease (which means a bond) and so on. But we got some advice and didn't have to sign, as long as we gave him a date for us moving out. And my uncle (who is passing himself off as the owner) hasn't helped. He refused to return my phone call till after we'd made a decision... There's one more member of my family that I won't be seeing again.

And what's even funnier is that our current place is already being advertised! The future tenants will be paying $50 a week more. That place needs some serious work before anyone can live there.

So all the worrying and stressing I've been doing has gone away. This weekend is our time. Time to relax, unwind and get some stress relief in, before we continue packing - we're well into it already. Just need to get the kitchen and lots of little stuff sorted.
