I love my mom. She's been so helpful with the apartment. (I love my dad too of course, and he'll help me a lot later, but today it was just mom. ^^) We went to IKEA and got a few things, and jotted down what I will buy later. OMG, I got the greatest idea for my bedroom! *squee!*

Anyways, I bought this cart with wheels for my bathroom - which is ( Read more... )

I had some guys moving my sofa-bed today. It was quite a shaky ride on a few occasions. I have a really heavy one, so they had to work hard on it and they almost dropped it once. O_o Ooh, that was scary, but we made it and the sofa came to my new apartment in one piece. :) It cost 1000 SEK, but it was well invested money. I could never have done it ( Read more... )

Today M painted the living room in 5½ hours (including breaks). I came a bit earlier to help mask the place. And, for those interested, here are before and after pictures.

Me, my mom and dad came to the apartment at 10.30 AM today. We put paper on the floors and at 1 PM M arrived and started painting all the ceilings and we masked all the places that had to be covered from paint splash. So, all four rooms' ceilings (kitchen, hallway, bedroom and living room) were painted in 6 hours. :D Hooray! It didn't look bad to ( Read more... )

Today I went to the apartment, for the first time since I saw it before X-mas. It was much nicer than I remembered it! ^^;;;; Funny how that works... But yeah, I really love it. It feels like my home, even though it's completely empty. But I guess that's because I can really see making use of all the space. So I measured the place up so we'll know ( Read more... )

Today at 9 AM I was at the bank and signed the final contracts. I will have my loan on "rörlig ränta" - for the time being. I can change it whenever I want, so that's fine. After all of that was fixed I got the keys. (Not all of them, I'll get more keys tomorrow - to the laundry room etc etc.) But, yeah. This is real ( Read more... )

My mom found someone who can help me paint the apartment. I'll do some myself too, but since I have so little time to do it (2 weeks before I move in and then I'm only off work for 2 weekdays and 1 weekend during that time), I'm feeling rather relieved that I'll get some professional help. I was planning to ask my friends (some I've already asked) ( Read more... )

I've gotten the green light for a loan. 550 000 SEK. The apartment costs 545 000. I called my broker immediately after getting the good news and it's a done deal. I've signed the contracts today. I'll pay 54 500 SEK up front (money I will loan) and about 20 000 SEK with my own cash (taken from my savings). Yup, so many things are happening now - it ( Read more... )

Argh! When I was at the doctor's my cell phone rang and it was Swedbank on the other line! This guy sounded much more positive to me taking a loan and he asked some questions and then said that he'd call me back later today. Still no call, but when he does I sure hope he's got good news! I've picked up two more packages today - containing six ( Read more... )

Today was a shitty day at work. I've been feeling at the verge of depressed and I've sighed more in one day than in this year total. Been having doubts about me, life, work, money, future, everything. Everything was just wrong today, nothing felt right. I still feel a little bit... off, but things cleared up later ( Read more... )
