20th January 2009

Now where did I get to ? Sorry about the straight to business but if I don't offload this I might just explode !!

Ok so heres how the weekend went. SO the prospective new tenants, that I hasten to add have not been given the proeprty yet, turn up with 20 Calves and pop them in our back paddock. Anyway they apologised and we worked through that only for me to go out tothe paddock to find it was stripped bare of grass and they were full bulls not steers. Our neighbour has breeding santa catruders which are worth approx $20,000 an animal and he will not allow bulls on any of the surrounding properties and thats the deal free firewood off his land if you don't have bulls.

So I contacted him and basically we couldn't move forward he told me that he had an hourours degree and that farmers graze land to the ground and thats what they do and if he is renting the paddocks what could I do abot it so with that I decided he was not the tenant for us and out you go !

Readvertised the house last night and had a lovely couple come through who want the place, 6 month tenancy, 2 months notice at anytime which suits us perfectly.

Today I sent off the mortgage discharge papaerwork so hopefully I did that correctly and the mortgage will be off the deeds shortly. Watch this space.

Not long to go now, am frantically trying to sell the big stuff but my boss isn't back yet for me to tell him and I really want to be able to talk to him first and explain that I am leaving without him hearing it from someone else first.

Anyway that can't be helped at this stage he is still away and there's nothing I can do about that.

So tonights misison is to get the big items of furniture on to Trade Me and then I will call it a night and head to bed I recon. I already have a heap of parcels to deliver tomorrow so that's good and the money keeps rolling in, even better !
