…so “M” & I are looking for a place to rent.
I know what you’re thinking, after only 10 weeks!! But this isn’t just a spur of the moment thing, we have actually put allot of thought into it.
We’ve discussed the scenarios, if someone wants to leave…or we broke up etc (not pleasant but it has to be thought through) who’d get what, where we’d go etc, paying bills, saving for furniture, white goods and the like.
It’s great that I’ve found someone who’s actually on the same wavelength as me (yes…crazy :op) but we suggest things to each other & its usually what the other has been thinking…which makes life a whole lot simpler :o)
Well getting back to the point, we went to view a house at the weekend….& it was perfect, close proximity to both of our work places, not over priced like most of the places on the market at the moment, semi with car port, garage, three good sized bedrooms (meaning we could get a lodger if needs be ‘ahem)…& if we’d gone on to buy the place its potential was limitless, plenty of room to extend…south facing garden…we loved it.
Another couple had been to view the property before us & someone else was coming to view after so we knew if we truly wanted the house that we would have to move fast, Claire the agent showing us around said if we were at the office for 9 o’clock Monday morning with the bond & payment for reference checks the house would be ours. Obviously we had much talking to do & finally decided later that evening the house was ideal for us.
8:45am Monday morning saw me marching up Duke St, money in hand ready to make this great house ours, but on arriving at the estate agency at 8:50 I found that the office was already open & there was a woman sat with Claire…my heart sunk as I knew she was taking our house, which only moments later was confirmed :o(
‘M’ & I couldn’t believe it, we were…& still are devastated, but chin up & all that, something else will come along, maybe even better than that one & if not we’ll keep an eye on the place in case it comes back on the market…’M’ is going to call into the agents to make sure that any news on the property is reported to us first else hair cuttage will be necessary (‘M’ didn’t threaten the agent with that earlier :op).
Oh well we’re off to look at another place tomorrow so hopefully it will be nice…I’ll keep you posted :o)
..Ciao.
