A few weeks ago, I blogged about us buying a house. Or at least offering on a house and having our offer accepted subject to finance.
Then I blogged about our pre-approval, subject to us paying the entirety of the car loan.
Somehow we found the $1200 to pay the car (thankyou credit card).
Somehow we juggled our finances so that we could do this thing.
Then we sat down. To wait.
2 days turned into a week. A week into a fortnight.
We were left in a limbo of phone calls and waiting.
We had a 21 day finance contract.
21 days left became 14.
14 became 7 .
And then 7 became 4.
We were running out of time and the stress was kicking in.
The car finance company got petulant because we hadn’t seen them about the loan. They faxed through the wrong paperwork time and time again.
We were running out of patience.
We were running out of time.
Finally everything was sorted.
We were waiting. Still.
They put us out of our misery today.
Full approval.
Let me just say that again, we got FULL APPROVAL. It sounds so sweet.
And? I am not excited or screaming in joy. My overwhelming feeling is relief.
We bought a house and I feel relieved.
Finally, I might be able to sleep properly.
Our House! OURS! Man that feels sweet.
There is a bunch of work to be done to it, but the inside is nice. It needs a darn good clean and I am hoping like hell that he removes all his rubbish from the yard. Soliciter got all the balls rolling for me this afternoon. We should have a settlement date this coming week.
I can’t wait to get out of this house.

Well done, sweetheart. Well done. You must let us know the day you move in. I propose that at 6PM on the day you move in – at that exact time, everybody lift a glass and toast you and your new home. I think it would be so cool to have a world-wide toast for you and your new home.
