lifes on hold

Thank you for everyone who has emailed me, asking where I have been. I am about, blogging in my head…shame you can’t read that :P (You should all totally come play on plurk.. tis teh awesome! (I think I have an addiction *blush*)

STILL house hunting, coming up to 3mths now..and still not much luck. Knew the rental market was tough right now..but had no idea it would be this bad. We have decided to change areas, which will mean a change of schools for the kids, which they really need as well. Not to mention $100 cheaper!

We have only actually had an answer on one application..way back at the beginning of our search, we missed out to 12 other people (glad tho, had the ugliest blue carpet, was tiny and $$$) We have had another application in for coming up to 3 weeks now…STILL waiting to hear. Why the hell does ot take that long?!? So frustrating, this RE has most of the rentals in the area, and we can only have one application in at a time. Sick of waiting for the phone to ring.

We have been mostly packed for 3mths, it just feels like life is on hold..everything is when we move, after we move. Hayden is desperate for a school change and everyone just wants life to go back to normal, without all the bloody cleaning and open houses ( I have never cleaned so much in my life :P)

The stress is starting to get a little too much, the owner is desperate to sell and keeps dropping the price (tho is still asking a bit too much) but it’s only a matter of time before it’s sold.

Had some health issues last month that didn’t help with the stress, all AOK now..but that’s a few weeks I certainly don’t want to live again.

Last week was spent in a constant state of panic, to organise Purple for Patric. I am the worlds most unorganised person, so trying to get my shit together and collect and keep track of…and then to spend all of this other peoples money! Thank god for Naomi, Barbara and Kay. I don’t do secrets..so it was torture trying to keep my trap shut LOL!

But it all went off without a hitch, thanks to all the super generous people who donated. I was blown away that we ended up with $950. Fills you with lots of warm fuzzies.

So looks like I am dying my hair purple! After I buy another dye..ordered one on Monday, it arrived yesterday when I wasn’t home and was left in the letter box. Some charming person came a long and took it, and squirted it all over the fence grrr!

And just because I have jam packed enough personal disjointed rambling in this post (honestly think this is the most “about me” post I have ever done) Got all the stuff to start my IT course yesterday, super nervous about actually doing it. Have allowed myself to do what ever the hell I please for so long…actually making myself do something could be difficult *hehe*

    At the rate the rental thing is going, you’d almost be able to wait until we are gone and then come and look after our house for us - though probably a LOT more of a move than you are planning. And imagine all the cats together?!

    Sorry Naomi but I’m having a hard time picturing three meezers, two burmese and a russian blue all coexisting peacefully in the same house. OMG I can just imagine the noise! LOL

    You will do fine with the IT course….once you get into a rhythm, it will all fall into place. I hope you get an answer on that application soon, it’s so frustrating when they leave you hanging like that. :(

    *haha* I can so see that working well…NOT

    My meezers are very racist..Alex HATES Burms, and I reckon that would go for Russians to.

    I wish there was a magic button I could press and everything would be done, organised and everyone was no longer stressed. You cope with so much so amazingly well. Personally I would have been tied up and taken away by now LOL. I hope everything starts to fall in place for you :). You will do really well at your IT course cos you’re a smarty pants :P I know I am a bit far away to help but you know where I am if you do need me *hugs*

    It sounds as if rentals are in very short supply and being able to only apply for one at a time must be frustrating. I do hope you find somewhere very soon Leigh.
