Thankful Thursday

Cripies, it's Thankful Thursday again already!  Where is the time going?

Today, it is all about the fact that I'll see my favourite person tomorrow.  I've missed him too much and am so tired, that all I need is an early night and a very late morning.  So, I am thankful in anticipation of a good night's sleep very, very soon.

I am also thankful that a lovely friend is organising a holiday for us next year, and is sending lovely photos like this to my inbox...

And, I am thankful that our contracts are signed.  Yay!

What about you?  Anything that you're particularly thankful for this week?

Happy nearly Friday, peeps!

Contracts signed

I have signed the building contracts!  Yay!  Let's just say signing on behalf of both of us left my signature looking a little different on the last document than it did on the first!

Picture here

Glad it's done, now to spend some quality time with 'the bank'.  Good times!




Overwhelmed!

So, I picked up the final Tender Letter yesterday, along with about 57 other pieces of paper.  After all my complaining about the builder's slowness, I wanted to get everything sorted with them today.  However, this week is the busiest in history and there are still a few issues that haven't been resolved, so I decided not to rush things.

Therefore, I will sort everything on the weekend.  And then... we wait for the bank and council!

Getting more excited by the day, though.

Thankful Thursday

Just a quick one from me today...

Today, I am thankful for a little bit of rain.  We have a whole lot of, very small, potted plants preparing themselves to be nice and full-sized for the new house, but they have been lacking water and will be very happy now.  But, after the non-stop rain we experienced late last year and early this, we prefer for it to only last a couple of days at a time these days.

And, secondly, I am thankful that our building contract is 'in the mail'.  This is what we call progress, people, progress!

Oh, and finally, I am thankful that my lovely bloggy friend 'B', has moved into her gorgeous house!

What are you thankful for today?

Paperwork central

Hey there blog fans!

We got our tender letter last week and have been madly reading and re-reading and double checking the information for days.  I have never in my life seen such a comprehensive building document.  Let's hope that this means the building process will happen to the letter, given that we've dotted all those 'i's and crossed a million 't's.

We've sent it back for a few changes and should have the updated document this weekend.

Husband has cleared the block.  It looks much nicer now, and is devoid of the three chunks of driveway and kerb that a lovely, professional concretor decided to leave on it.  God only knows why I did not include clearing of the block in the land contract - blonde moment and a half.

Husband has put up a barrier to deter would-be rubbish droppers!

In other news, my stomach is absolutely tied up in knots waiting for the big game tonight.

Have a great day!
