SOLD!

So after a whole 6 days on the market my house of 27 years, 6 months and 19 days sold with a closing date of January 26, 2007. A bit sooner than my parents would've liked (they don't move into their house in New Brunswick until March 15th) but it was a good offer so they'll stay with my grandparents for a few months. Now, I basically have one weekend to get my place ready and settle in!

Keep January 20-21st open ;)

My 1st Anniversary!

This past Tuesday (November 21st) marked my first year anniversary at PBG. One of the guys from the States asked how it felt and I had to reply, "It feels a hell of a lot longer!"

For Sale :(

So our house officially went on the market this past weekend. When I got home from Ottawa on Sunday there was a big ugly sign smack in the middle of the front lawn. We've already had 6 viewings so far - I'm guessing that's good?

It sucks how neat we have to keep things though. If you thought my parents were bad before you should see them now - I can't even leave my toothbrush out! If someone doesn't want to buy the house because they saw my toothbrush, well... that just ridiculous!!!!

I'll keep y'all posted!

1. Flip to page 18, paragraph 4 in the book closest to you right now, what does it say?
"For example, I have a completely different attitude towards shopping. My new motto is "Buy Only What You Need." I know, it sounds almost too simple - but it really does work. Before each purchase, I ask one question: "Do I need this?" And only if the answer is yes do I make the purchase. It's all just a matter of self-discipline"

So it turns out the owner (of the Condo) is out of town until Monday (November 13th) so now all I can do it wait to see if he accepts the offer or is at least willing to negotiate!

The deal was set to expire tonight at midnight and it was hard enough waiting for that deadline! Now I have to wait like 6 days!

Stay tuned!

The bid is in!

So we put a bid in on a condo this afternoon - keep your fingers crossed for me!

Condo Shopping

I don't know what changed my mind but I'm finally excited about condo shopping! We have two appointments this weekend!

Wish me luck!
