The ups and downs of our planned new life to NZ, warts and all!

Our day in courtWed 29 August 2007

So, the last couple of days have been really stressful, and I've been pretty much dreading today and wanting it all over at the same time.

Steve and I were really starting to feel that everything was against us and feeling quite sorry for ourselves.  Well today proved that if you're a good person - the truth will 'come out in the wash.'

We've got 80% relocation costs, most of the electricity bill paid, released from our tenancy and backdated rent (not much - but we didn't think we'd ever recover any costs).  We anticipated an amount and didn't think we'd get close to that.  We did. 

The stress is over!  We won, even the property manager decided that when she heard it all back we had a bad deal.

We can have 2-3 weeks to move out, and when we receive the final bill, we'll get our costs back. 

We did it! 

So, off to Wellington tomorrow for a few days recce!

YAY!


Great!Wed 29 August 2007
Well done Littletoe and family!! :o)
It just proves that karma will win out in the end. Good things DO happen to good people. Keep believing that and I'm sure things will change for the better! Have a great time on your reccie!

Wow! You know what, I reckon you have just reached the turning point of the Littletoe fortunes. It's deffo a case of 'all aboard the gravy train' now for the Littletoe clan - and you ride that baby all the way to Wellington and beyond. Good luck with the recce, and relish the money that THEY will now be paying YOU! Haaaaahahahahahaaaaa :0)
