LAST MARKET FOR 2024

 

But do things I must. Like get ready for market at Tamahere.

Our last market for the year, thank god.  It's been a lot, what with trying to sell our home as well during the busy time of the year.

At least once we are set up we can sit and 'relax' for a few hours right?

I had another terrible night's sleep.  Just can't get over those viewers dicking us around yesterday.  Thank goodness we now get a break for a couple of weeks.

ONWARD...

The rain gods are being nice.... so far. 

We are supposed to have thunder storms and rain, but so far, nothing. We have blue skies!!!@

ABOVE: We have less out today, just in case it does start raining.

Bring it on...people I mean 😂😃😆.

OMG do I have some surprising news! More when we get home from market...

1.42 pm, home from market.

And this is how our day has gone:

1.  It didn't rain like it was supposed to, UNTIL 12 noon.

ABOVE: And then it absolutely BUCKETED DOWN!!!  Luckily we had made a decent amount of sales by then, cos after that, the market died a natural death.

2.  Packing up, and our neighbour backed into our gazebo.  Luckily I didn't do what I instinctively thought of doing, which was step between her car and our gazebo.

ABOVE: Her towbar hit the gazebo leg and munted it.  I think it can be replaced, I'll find out on Monday when I ring the company I got our gazebo from.  Costs will be paid for by the lady who did the damage.

3.  Mid morning I got a phone call from our Real Estate Agent.

Those people from yesterday, who bad mouthed our home?  Made a bloody offer today didn't they!

And it was a fairly decent offer too.  We are now in negotiations, re:  Price and settlement date.  They want a very early settlement, which won't work considering time frames for public holidays, lawyers, builders report etc.  So .. it's a work in progress.

4.  On our way home, on the expressway, doing 110 kmph.  We were in the outside lane, about to pass by a big truck.

Next thing...

ABOVE: On our left, out of NOWHERE, screams past a car, which swerved right in front of us, passing us, AND the truck, in one foul move!

The road was wet.  It was soooo close to hitting us I almost said goodbye to me bladder!!!  I was shocked to the core.

It would have been a disaster if he hadn't managed to squeak through the very small gap.  

I never want to be that close to having a massive accident again.

Sadly I couldn't get his number plate because he was simply going too fast!

IT.  HAS.  BEEN.  A.  DAY.  And now I just feel wrung out and jumpy as fuck.

7.24 pm: we've had a nice, quiet afternoon.  Heard from our amazing Estate Agent twice this afternoon.  Our counter offer was given verbally to 'their' Estate Agent, and they are now 'considering it'.

We don't expect to hear back this evening, they seem to like to play games.

We are not engaging in games, we will just hang in there until they come back with either a slightly higher number, or they back out.  Either way, I'm trying not to get me tits in a knot. 

What will be will be.

And that is it from me for the day.  I'm feeling much chiller now... just had dinner and now going to settle down for a bit of shit TV!  Seriously, there is bugger all worth watching on the telly.

Catch ya tomorrow.
