This morning we were up early and keen to get the keys for our new house! We handed in the keys to the lovely lady at Whale cove. She was surprised we were moving out all of a sudden as we failed to inform her last week we had found somewhere. I mentioned we needed to settle up the Internet bill but she refused any payment and let the 25AUD go. I thought that was really nice of her so gaz and i had a subway at lunchtime on Whale cove lady!
It was very exciting being given the keys to OUR place. We moved our cases in, full of energy about making this place our own and a place to call home for at least the next 6 months. A trip to woolworths was in order to get the essentials! Gaz pushed the trolley up and down each isle until nothing else could be balanced onto the mound of stuff we had accumulated in the 30 minutes spent shopping. It was great fun putting it all away when we got home - Gaz insisting the cereal be left on the counter, myself insisting it gets put in the cupboard...then we couldnt agree on which cupboard the cereal should go in...argh stressful! but its done now and we are both happy. I guess living together is all about give and take.
I popped in to work to get some documents sorted. The lady there in charge of sorting me out commented that she was very impressed at how organised i am being and appreciated that i have come over in good time, allowing myself time to get all relevant documentation sorted. She said most people come out a day before they start and it is one mad panic!
Gaz and i made yet another trip to the car dealer. He seemed to have another car that looked interesting. We had a long chat with him and he informed us the police car was a patrol car and would not have been used in chases. We assumed her would say this whatever the truth was about the car. He did however say that on Friday he will be going to a car auction in brisbane and is going to look for a car with us in mind. Preferabley i would like a hatchback...especially having seen gaz try to reverse the small hire car we have at the moment into the stupidly narrow garage here!
Whilst Gaz has been browsing the internet, i have cooked a turkey mince chili...it was yummy but as always, ive made too much and we will have to freeze the rest! oh and we have another tennant here in our townhouse. His name is Bob and he is a 2 inch gecko! He lives on the garage wall and is very cute!
Did he carry you over the threshold? Seriously though it's good to know that work appreciate the effort you've put in to make the transition as easy as possible.
