47 Days

The sale of the condo is final and we have to be out by June 24th!! Yikes! So much to do, so little time. Have to get the Magic Jack for phone calls. You can now have a Canadian number on the MJ, so that is next on the list. Looking at solar panels and a generator. Last night I bought a new Epson multi function printer that has a front loading paper tray and is wireless, so I can set it up on the overhead bunk area. An internet stick or satellite internet??? We have to decide. The stick is cheaper, but maybe the speed is not fast enough for Skype and the Magic Jack. Have to research that. I would LOVE an iPad 3G but that is not in the budget.

The biggest thing now is to sell all the furniture and the buyer has expressed an interest in buying all our stuff. How lucky can we get??? Linens, Kitchen stuff, flatware, appliances all have to go. Goodwill and Diabetic Society have already got a ton of things.

The Move is ON!!!!

Mini Shop Vac

Today we went to Lowes in Whitby/Oshawa to buy a brace for the bannister and came away with the brace, a hang up shop vac and a small fireproof and waterproof safe. The Shop Vac will fit nicely in the space under the RV bed. The safe will be bolted into the RV somewhere, and that will hold our passports and other important papers, and the brace has been put onto the bannister in accordance with our buyers wishes. There were 3 conditions of sale:
1. That the wobbly (bad design) bannister is unwobbled
2. That the carpets are professionally cleaned and we will do this just before they move in
3. The we obtain all the relevant paperwork from the condo corporation to make sure that there are no legal or financial disasters lurking in the wings. I am sure that will be fine..

We continue to have people coming around to see the place and there is another couple of people coming tomorrow. Would be nice to have a backup offer in case this one goes sour.

In the meantime we are working on being out before the 24th June.  Some busy weekends coming up, so am not sure when we are going to do this packing. Luckily we don't have a lot more to do so I should be able to get everything done in time.

SOLD!!

The condo is SOLD! I can hardly believe it. It is as if someone else has taken over my life. Things are just happening so fast! The buyer also wants to buy most of the furniture, how much better can it get! We have to be out of the house on June 24th, so my last week of work will be from the motor home. We will park at Moody's Motor Inn, down the road until we have got everything sorted out and the space inside the MH packed to the best of our ability. Friends are renting us a bit of storage space in their basement for the few things that we want to keep, i.e. my grandmother's Spode dinner service. Photographs (until I can get them all scanned onto disks). and a few other treasures.

I am so excited and terrified at the same time! This is something we have wanted to do for so many years and now we are doing it!

Now I am all in a twitter!!!

The agent just called to say that we are getting an offer on the condo tomorrow!!!! My stomach is in a knot! He says we should get close to our asking price as we are priced right and the condo is looking just lovely right now!! Mmmmm it is so clean and uncluttered that I think I may want to stay......NOT!!!

My beloved car is sold!

Over the weekend I sold my lovely little Nissan Versa. It is going to be hard parting with her this week. The buyer was referred by our realtor. One more step closer to freedom and the simple life.
