ups and downs

I am so stoked that I'm finally adjusting to daylight savings time, at last I can enjoy the fact that we have more light at the end of the day without feeling too tired to appreciate it. The first week is always the hardest.

My bank account is loving me this week, I actually have savings! So unusual for me to have any money set aside, I'm loving the fact that when I move I can afford to have everything connected, and start paying my grandmother back on top of saving for an awesome, amazingly comfortable queen sized ensemble. Sweet.

However, I'm still driving backwards and forwards for work, and I've been waiting for a week to hear back about a flat in Forbes that would suit me perfectly. If I am approved for this unit, I'll be cutting down costs on fuel. However, I only found out yesterday (from one of my bosses, not the real estate) that there are a few applications for the place I want, and the landlord needs to pick one. We offered to pay a week deposit to hold the flat till a decision was made about me either way - something every real estate I've gone through in the past has encouraged - and they said it wasn't necessary. If we could've done that, all this waiting and agonising could have been avoided. I'd know if I have the place or not, then be able to move on.
