hopeful

I keep rewatching the video I took last Sunday. I just realised it's only been five days since the offer was accepted!

So much has happened during this time: 

* Valuation has been ordered
* Bank has recieved info from YouOwn and my mortgage broker
* Lawyers are discussing with the mortgage broker the next steps in how this shared equity thing works
* Discussiins have taken place with people who could become boarders
* I've set up an SBS account in the event that this goes unconditional
* We've done more research into the cash contribution - $4k from SBS with the First Home Combo
* Talked with dad, the council and my friend James about the missing info from the LIM and found it in the file. I now have the building plans also 😁 
* Talked with Aunty Adrienne about home insurance and she advised me to go with SBS for home insurance for at least a year and that if I wanted to - her insurance broker business Hugh Vercoe and Associates would be happy to help. The good thing about the SBS home insurance offer is a $1k contribution towards costs 
* Discussion with lawyers about fixed cost for lawyer fees etc. I can gather some more money by then but there is also lots of money in the air that may not be available til just after settlement date. This is tricky because if the lawyers fees aren't paid up on settlement date then they won't transfer the deposit funds to the vendor's solicitors and then I won't be given the keys

Lots of stuff going on! 

And still in the back of my mind is this nerve wracking notion of - 'Am I doing the right thing?' 

- the right house? 
- how will the dogs feel with such a small section?
- what if Crystel runs off again? 
- what if I'm left with a huge house and can't afford it on my own? 
- what if it doesn't work out?
- what if the bank still says no?

Ugh. I'm just a bit stressed out. 

Date offer signed and accepted: 4th April 2022

Last day for finance conditions: 20th April

Settlement date: 4th May 2022


Also - I hope no-one buys the plot of land beside the Buchanan house before I find some extra money to put towards buying it myself 😂 would be so cool to have more section! And even cooler to be able to grow a garden - like a proper one ♥️

Continuing to break the poverty mindset

Whuuuu.  I'm still processing the latest thought patterns.  We're going to an Open Home on Sunday. 52 Buchanan. Beautiful big house. Flashy, as Crystel puts it.  She wants to live in a flashy house.  I get it.  We've both been through some crazy trauma and deserve good things.  But inside me is also this niggling thought that makes me think I don't deserve to. That thought is holding me back.  I find it hard to see myself in a fancy, flashy, new house.  I prefer to see myself in a villa.  Part of that could be conditioning while growing up. Maybe it's to do with my preconceived notions and ideas about wealth.  Maybe I still have more work to do.  At present - my list of house options:  52 Buchanan Street Ōpōtiki * 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms * newer house * Not much section * Pizza oven * Big garage * Big white gates * Open plan living and kitchen 32 Potts Ave * 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 shower over bath * Co...

Sandy NanoWriMo 2014

Update: Quite a bit longer now...  #NaNoWriMo2014 She woke up just like any other day, with her alarm playing on her phone and her arm sprawled across her face. Her face covered from the overwhelming light that drifted through the non-existent curtains and onto her bedroom walls. She had been clever enough a year ago to begin mapping out the sun's cycle as it passed her little apartment and knew without even looking at her phone that she had overslept. Sandy Jenkins was no ordinary person. But she felt overly ordinary every single day. The problem was, she hadn't quite figured out her purpose in life, nor had she found the suitable (insert worm mating phrase here).  Unfortunately, Sandy had a couple afflictions. The first was that she was stuck in a job that she didn't particularly like. She had a range of talents yet none of these had anything to do with her current 'career pathway' or so her parents continued to call it. They said it was a stepping stone to a much...
