SWEEEEET!!

Congratulations! House buying in Alberta is FUN isn't it!

I am so glad we have finally found the house.

I hated the feeling of viewing houses, knowing that if we wanted it, you pretty much had to write the offer on the kitchen table before you left.....

We felt so rushed, we actually wrote the offer in our truck.......

But never mind, it's all done and dusted, just want to move in now...patients not one of my strong points!!!!

Linda

Congrats to you all Linda! Exciting innit?

Nice!!!

Now all you need is mike holmes around to build you a fancy bathroom/shower stall. Remember in Canada you need at least 1 bathroom per person

Oh no.......I'm one short then

Now where's Mr Holmes number.

Linda

Congrats !!

I'm glad you stayed in Alberta too!!!

Congratulations!!!! When's the big moving day? I'm moving into my new place in 2 weeks time and I'm soooooo excited, so i know exactly how you're feeling!!

Great news Trish, hope you'll be really happy in your new home.
Best of Luck,

Thanks - I've been living in a horrible old log cabin for the past year, its so bad I cried so much during the summer (as the water gushed into the basement every time it rained hard and every day coming home from work to the nasty damp smell). No heating upstairs in the bedrooms - brrrrr. There are so many gaps between the logs I think that I'm responsible for the mild winter so far!! I'm keeping the town warm!

My new place is fab - needs a bit of work done in the spring (new shingles, gutters, etc), but that's half the fun of moving. I'm sooo looking forward to buying paint and getting mucky! It's over twice the size of where I am now so I'm gonna rattle round inside.

And the best thing about it ... it's all mine!! No whinging husband getting under my feet anymore!! Hurrah!! I can furnish/decorate, etc how I want it!

So roll on 3rd Feb!!!

(Sorry to hijack your thread Linda P - good luck for March 15th!)

We had a call yesterday 8.10am to tell us that our container had arrived in Edmonton and could we go straight to the customs office to claim it.....

err....NO, hubby's in work and I have kid's to take to and from school (early finish on a Thursday)

oh well.....we have a bit of a problem then, it actually arrived two days ago and they hadn't informed anyone, so they want to charge $175 per day until it's cleared!!!!! He then went on to explain he could argue for the previous two days, but not for the next few days until we claimed it, as we are expected to go pretty much straight away.

I had to get hubby out of work (not easy for nurses) and we rushed to the office.

Wow I was impressed with how easy it was once we got there....asked us few questions...such as did we clean the tent pegs and were the kid's scooters motorised (they should be so lucky) and that was it!!!! off we go thank you very much!!!!!
They also queeried the fact that hubby's work permit runs out April and his new one has not arrived yet, but, we had our letter from his employer stating he had been given a two year extension, so it wasn't a problem.

We were then told that to store our container until we move into the new house (15th March) it was going to cost $890, so I am having it delivered here and we will have to sit on boxes for two months

So I am now moving from room to room making as much space as poss....there will be no crevice left unfilled come Monday!!!!

It will be so worth it in the end (I have to keep telling myself this )

Linda

Linda, if you're struggling for space and want to shove a few boxes in our basement, just give us a shout.! As long as its not a grand piano, I don't mind at all !!!

I'd offer to look after some as well............................But it'd cost almost as much to get it down here.
