(no subject)
Today I bought a car! Finally. It was the second car I looked at. The first was from a used car dealer in South Melbourne who was having a little trouble distinguishing between a 3 door and a 5 door vehicle. After a long (and I mean long) drive to broadford the deposit was laid. It's been a while since I've been out to the country and I forgot how far apart the towns were. I'm used to looking in the Melways and the suburbs are literally next to each other. Not so in the country.
Other news is as we're currently without a home, we've taken up a 1 month lease in a friends house who has moved overseas. The conditions are suboptimal for reasons I will now list.
No toilet door
Years of smoke absorbed into the walls and carpets although its amazing what a bottle of febreze can do.
Lots and lots of dirt!
Anyway its been incredibly convenient for us to have somewhere to live (beats living on the street anyday)while waiting on replies from the nice places we've applied for. Speaking of renting we've been looking for somewhere for about a month now and whenever a decent place comes up there are literally 20 people lining up outside for the inspection. We've had to stoop to 'gazumping'by offering the landlord a higher rent. Last place we were outgazumped but I have a really good feeling about this next one.
