1 NOVEMBER 2012

With October done and dusted, November is here and with it a new set of problems.

This morning we received an email from our land lady informing us she is giving us notice to move out of our cottage by the end of the month. Now moving out for us is not a problem, we are planning to do that in any case but we are still waiting to hear about our house and when (being positive) when get our house, when will we be able to take occupation??? We can not rent another place in the mean time, it would cost too much to move twice and be a waste of time.

On top of this, she is trying to back date charges for a rent increase we were never notified about and extra money for my mom and brother staying with us. She is really crazy if she thinks she is getting a single cent from us as the toilet has been broken for over a month, the whole house flooded on the weekend damaging our furniture.

On a more positive note, the Standard Bank assessor has gone to assess or house today so holding thumbs they are going to offer us something!

Last night for Halloween we went to Bright Water Commons with the peeps from my boyfriends work. They had a whole festival where the kids could trick or treat, a haunted house and lots of goodies to waste your money on. We all just dressed up and went to Miginty's for a few drinks.

My Granny

My Granny has been very sick, she has a mass on her ovaries which looks to be cancerous. It was such a great relief to me speaking to her today and she sounded very upbeat and happy.

She has been in and out of the hospital the last few weeks having an op and scans and tests but today she was finally released and is now an out patient and she will be starting her chemo on the 13 Nov.

It has been very difficult for her in the hospital, she has spent her whole life sleeping next to my Grandpa every night and now to be sick and sleep in a strange place with 7 other women. I am glad she is home and think she will have a faster recovery in her own house her and my Grandpa built when they were newly weds.

XxXxXx Please pray for my Gran and everyone else with cancer.

Heart Break , a different kind

Thanks FNB for breaking my heart!

This morning we found out FNB has declined our home loan and they didn't even bother to let us know, we had to phone them. It is really disappointing as both myself and my boyfriend bank with FNB, we moved everything over to FNB, bank accounts, credit cards, loans etc and yet they are the first (and hopefully last) to decline us!

Our applications are still pending with the other banks but we have to wait about 5 more days to find out the results.

So here I am...

It has been over a year since I last blogged and I just used the loo and realised I have had my underwear on back to front the whole day and that triggered my thoughts towards blogging again...........so here i am.


The biggest thing happening in my life at the moment is I am trying to buy a house.

I am very proud of the fact that I am 25yr and my boyfriend 24yr, and we are buying a freaking HOUSE! We are going to own a piece of land, a piece of the world!

Buying a house is super hard, it is not like buying a car or getting a cellphone contract, it is an extremely long and complicated process.
At the moment, we have our OTP and we have submitted our docs to these bond originators. We will only know in 5 to 10 working day if we will be able to get a home loan! Today is only day 1 of what seems a million years to wait! Holding fingers and toes and getting more and more stressed as the seconds tick by!
