My bid didn’t get accepted April 27, 2008

Thursday I placed a bid on a (small) appartment, which wasn’t accepted. It was way lower than what they asked for it. However, when buying the appartment, one has to change the kitchen and badroom area. I heard the bid wasn’t accepted last Friday at 5.30pm, so this weekend I’ve been thinking what to do. I’m thinking of placing a higher bid, but I’m not sure how much. I do have a limit, but I also really would like the have the appartment. Oh well, nothing can be done until tomorrow. I did go to watch badrooms and kitchens yesterday. That was fun. Not sure what I really want, there were some nice ones, but not that I really said I want it.

The school is packed, closed and awaiting May 6th when everything will be moved back to the other building. Last week has been a tiresome week, since I’ve made days till from 7.30am till 6pm. Whether it was teaching or packing, I’ve been busy. I’m glad to have a week of, with Queens Day and May 5th in between. Not sure what I’ll be doing on Queens Day, probably going down town the evening before and walk around the fair.

I don’t look forward to moving April 24, 2008

Especially now that I’ve had to pack a whole school twice this year. The kids have helped me enormously today, that was great. However, this whole week has been of me working till around 6pm. Everything hurts, I’m extremely tired and I need my holidays. I’m so happy to have a week off and that we have to unpack after Queensday and May 5th.

On another note, yesterday I went back to an appartment I’ve already visited, this time to look at what rebuilding would cost me. Today I got the price and I’ve made an extremely low bid. I can always go higher, right? Now I have to wait from a call from my real estate agent. Though I don’t think they will accept, keep your fingers crossed.

In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday… April 13, 2008

And that will mean it will be Tuesday when that happens. And when I say the same sentence on Tuesday it will be Thursday to actually happen, which means the weekend is near again. Don’t get me wrong, I love my work, but it will be a busy two weeks until the May-holiday. The children will be having a free day that last Friday, so we, teachers, can pack the last of the school’s belongings. Than we’ve got a week off (the children some days extra) and than around May 5th all things will be moved to the old-new building. Old because we’ve already been there, new because we’ll be getting a new part of that building and it’s been redecorated. Tomorrow, after school time, we’ll be taking a look how it’s now and where we’ll be placed with our classes etc. I’m actually quite curious, not really sure if I’m going to like it or not, I’ll let you know .

Yesterday I went house hunting again. When I showed photos of it to my mum, she wasn’t that enthusiastic at all. When we got there, she liked it. There wasn’t much to do/change about it. However, I found the living room/kitchen area very small. My bed room would be in the cellar and it smelled like a cellar. There was no way you could open a window there, since there where none. It was large, however, and I could store lots of things there, but I didn’t contact my real estate agent (he couldn’t come with me) for a bid. The house, it’s just not me, I guess.
Tuesday I would also be on a house hunt, if it weren’t the appartment I would go and take a look at, had already been sold. I read that yesterday morning, and to be honest, I was a bit pissed about it. Oh well, there’s always the Funda site, and I saw there an appartement to which I would need to do a lot of changing to, but it’s been for sale for a while now. Taking a look, could never hurt, right? . I’ll keep you updated on it .
