Those of you who have been following my blog will know about the issues we had with our original apartment in Mosman. Well, just to recap and to cut a long story short… it turns out that the landlord had no intention of moving any of their ‘crap’ out of the apartment. So we quite openly told them that our intention was to move out as we felt they had miss sold the apartment to us. We also told them that we did not expect to pay a penalty for moving out before our 6 month contract had finished
All of these discussions took place relatively close to the time I was due to return to the UK (sod’s law, don’t you know!) but Adam was adamant that he did not want to stay in the apartment any longer than we had to as he did not “want to pay for them to store all their crap!” I have to say, that I did agree with him, however did not want him to have to deal with finding a new place and moving all on his own.
Anyway… we had a look on line and picked out some possibilities for viewings. Before we could actually arrange any viewings it was time for me to leave Sydney to return to the UK for a long awaited Take That concert, two 30th birthday parties, a christening, lots of catching up with friends and family and a wedding in Ireland! (Adam was due to come out later for the wedding in Ireland)
Adam got straight to it and found a new place really quickly. He sent me lots of photos to look at so that I could have final approval on the place! He also said that he had opened every cupboard and drawer in the place to check for ‘Land Lord’s crap’ and had happily discovered that everywhere was empty, Hooray! He also thought that the estate agent must have thought that he was some kind of cupboard and drawer weirdo as he did check every one!
It seemed that everything was perfect, but it wouldn’t be real life unless something was sent to try us or make life just that teeny weeny bit more tricky! Unfortunately we weren’t able to find another furnished apartment (as these are few and far between) so Adam was due to move into our new apartment without any furniture or kitchenware, oh dear! Luckily the apartment came with a built in sofa, so we decided that all Adam needed was a bed, knife fork, spoon, plate, bowl and mug. So off he had to toddle on his own to make the purchases.
Adam then came to the UK for the wedding in Ireland after a few weeks in the apartment on his own. It then became time for us both to return to Sydney and the new place. It suddenly dawned on me whilst on the plane, and having been given the passport control form, that I didn’t know where I lived! Obviously Adam filled me in on the address so that I could fill in the form, but that was it!
Once we arrived at the apartment I was really pleased to see that it was in a really nice location, the view from the terrace was lovely (we can still see the opera house and the bridge) and the space inside was great. Adam had also done a really good job to unpack some clothes and pictures to make it feel more homely.
A big thumbs up to Adam… The hubby done good!
