There are positives and negatives to every event in one’s life. That’s why on a stress scale, getting married has such a high score – yeah, it’s a great thing, but gosh darn it, there’s a lot of stress involved!
So what are the repercussions of having accepted an offer on our flat? Let me tell you what I’ve thought about so far….
- no more keeping the flat perfectly clean at all times – while we were always clean, in the past we kinda let slide the neat part…when the flat was still being sold, we had to be clean and neat at all times.
- I can actually do the laundry whenever I want – and I don’t have to worry about having to take down clean wet laundry cause someone is coming over to check out the flat (I’ve done this two times).
- I can leave out the iron and ironing board – it’s a pain to have to carry it in and out of our bathroom closet every morning to iron (yes, I iron my clothes every morning so that they are fresh looking)
- We can now look forward to being the buyer in this market as we’ll have more than 20% down for our mortgage (closer to 35%)…hopefully we’ll get a break in the price of a house we’re interested in.
- Now we have to think about everything that we have to do in order to move…it kept me up last night quite a while
- Nights of sleeping less due to thinking about everything
- We’ll have to meet with a mortgage advisor, talk to a lot of different estate agents, etc…lots of meetings yet again
- We’re going to be moving in with Roy’s parents a lot sooner than later. Pray for us.
