Love Shoes Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well I have decided to take a back seat and relax, and stop getting my knickers into a twist with this rental business. I have decided after much thought to wait for it: LET MY OTHER HALF DEAL WITH IT :cool: I know there will be some of you out there who think I am being totally selfish but I have had 3 days of trying to secure a rental, as well as 3 days of being patronised and moaned at by my OH, who tells me to be firmer with the agents, and not to be a shrinking violet :arghh: So tomorrow I am up early as usual, only this time I won´t be jumping in the car looking for a place to rent I will be getting my hair done and then doing some sight seeing and maybe just maybe if I am in a relaxed mood I might brave a couple of agents :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Shoes Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Love it!!!!!! Thanks. I am fed up of being shouted at through no fault of my own, it is not my fault that these agents are bloody lazy and only do viewings once every blue moon :arghh: these people have completely ruined my holiday mood :laugh: so I am just going to take a chill pill, paint my finger nails and enjoy the rest of the day wondering how my OH is going to penetrate these rental agents :rolleyes: whilst he is as he says ´working all day´. Mm I think it will be a case of apologising to Mrs Shoes and admitting defeat :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katiem Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Some IELTS practice and reading tips I can find in preperation for Saturday. Actually feeling really positive about it despite reading some of the other posts where people are having to re-sit a few times to get the right scores so fingers crossed I'll pass first time. Only need 7s but it's the academic paper so will have to see how it pans out. Also, I used a voucher I've had for a while to buy an AA Keyguide to Australia to have a proper read once the IELTS is done with to keep up the excitement. Yesterday, I started planning with my best friend to do a 3 week trip to NSW later this year to get a feel for different areas, sign up with some job agents/ rental agents etc. No dates set yet, will work that out once the application is in and I have an idea about when I might be able to move :smile: All very exciting!!

thepallis Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Well over the last 3 days, sorted OH's shed out (not too traumatic) lol. House cleaned and photographed for rental and today power washed patio. Really exciting stuff but needs to be done. Oh and ordered vaccum storage bags so I can take more clothes with me. All the rubbish jobs that have to be done, I'm sure there will be more to come. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Shoes Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Going for my hair cut, and then I may go & see the turtles in the local turtle place, well I am hoping to see the turtles, I don´t have a clue when they are there or what their breeding patterns are, all I know is where the turtle sanctuary is. Not a rental agent in sight today :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fonsie Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 One step forwards and 6 back. Flights booked for May, packing and decluttering underway. OH gets letter from hospital to say he needs a CT scan and then will need to see specialist. He wants to put flights back another 4 months, which I can understand. Will have to see what happens after his hospital visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
