Thursday to Tuesday

By ⋅ December 22, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Well gosh, what a week! Busy busy bee I have been =) Thursday was graduation, which meant spending most of the working day organising the set up. As the “decorating” team, we decided to go with student artwork as the backdrop instead of just bunches of flowers, and most people agreed it looked really effective. [...]

Spring Cleaning!

By ⋅ October 24, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Canberra has finally put on some warm weather for a good solid week. Spring has sprung! Only a month and a half late… But a nice sunny weekend is the perfect time to start the spring cleaning, which for us this weekend meant hiring a steam cleaner and cleaning all the carpet in the house, [...]

Our home

By ⋅ August 1, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

So we’ve been in our house for almost a whole year, 11 months now… and we did end up settling, eventually! Once that was all finally sorted out I switched to full wedding planning mode and continued to be that way until the wedding in March. After the wedding and honeymoon I switched again to [...]

Long overdue update on house settlement.

By ⋅ September 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Gosh it’s been a hectic mess.

Settlement update

By ⋅ August 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The time is DRAGGGGGING… I assume settlement will be the 28th (haven’t heard anything yet), and John doesn’t have to go to Melbourne that week now so we’re planning to move Friday the 29th. Booked the truck, bought the fridge, we’re all set. It seems to be taking FOREVER!

We had exchange on Tuesday arvo (Thursday now), so we’re locked in! Settlement will now be August 28th or before, we’re hoping for about a week before so we can move the main stuff the weekend of 23/24 August and have a week overlapping in rent to get the carpets cleaned and tidy the place [...]

Approved!

By ⋅ July 25, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

So we have now been formally approved for our loan, woohoo! Just waiting on the bank/solicitor/mortgage broker to finish dealing with our thousands of forms we had to fill in, then we can exchange contracts hopefully early next week. Settlement should be about 4 weeks after that. I am now officially collecting boxes! =D
