I woke up staring straight into Mewthos' eyes! He'd settled next to my head and was watching me sleep. That was around four this morning! I wasn't able to go back to sleep, but I snuggled under the duvet and watched mippies.
At work, I realised that I had packed everything - except for my cigarettes! Sigh! Now I have to take the fully loaded car to the shopping center, not a smart thing to do. At also has no cigarettes left, so I want to buy him a packet as well.
Done. I figured I might as well go quickly before we get busy with the delivery here.
I've arranged to go and offload around eleven this morning, we'll also do the checklist of any repairs and things.
Done. We also did the full incoming inspection. Cracked and broken window panes, holes in the walls, lots of nails & screws in the walls, some cracked walls ... nothing serious. Then I off loaded everything, unpacked and was back at work 2 hours later! It's a 20 minute drive outside rush hour. During peak traffic it'll take a bit longer.
When I got back, I found mail from my current landlady asking to confirm the date I'll be moving out and - politely - asking whether I'll be paying October notice period, as 8 days is a bit short notice. Very politely worded, and she's writing off the 2nd months notice rent. I'm not going into the details that there is no 2nd month notice rent to be paid, at best only 20 days ... I want that chapter closed. She did mention refunding my deposit - after inspection, so, who knows? Hmm ... I wonder if they're advertising for a tenant? Anyway, I did explain that moving out so fast was not my plan, but that I stumbled across a bargain I could only secure by immediate occupation. Which is the truth. I don't like paying 2 rents for the same month, either ... but it IS fair.
I guess that I can start planning where I'll want to put what in my new home, eh? The unpacking part, I mean. Like arranging the kitchen. It's going to take me a long time, since I've been stashing all sorts everywhere for now ... just to get the boxes back for more.
Back at home, I took the empty boxes into the lounge, then sat outside for a smoke. It didn't take long for mippies to show up. Inside, I checked my credit card statement and found that the cat food orders had each been deducted twice! Yikes! I took screenshots from both and sent off a mail ... let's see what happens. Then I paid the notice-rent she asked for.
And then I saw an SMS from that Garden Flat I looked at the same day I looked at the house I'm moving in to. She asked whether I've got a flat - not sure why, though. Anyway, I replied that I had, and think that she'd have regretted allowing 4 young cats right after they explored her neat and tidy garden the first time! No need to mention the rest of her control issues. That place was a definite 'no way'.
Mippies are real quiet now ... I'm kind of tired, so ... watch an episode, then sleep ...
