Settling in.....

All is going well here with things moving along quickly.We have organized so much in the two weeks we have been here...banking, vehicles, insurance, blackberry, shelter. We looked at so many places and then rented a great unfurnished apartment in a quiet yet still central area. We have a good landlord, nice neighbours and amazing views.
So we are very happy with it and are quickly acquiring things using “TradeMe” for some items we don’t mind second hand…like the little portable oil heaters. We now have 4. Also a neat wooden clothes drying rack, a couple of good solid tables, a heated towel rail and a bright red computer chair. We have been having fun doing the online auction.(stopping myself from bidding on things just cause its cute and cheap!....keep the focus Swan) We are gradually accumulating the basic things we need to have our flat be functional and comfortable. The challenge is deciding what to buy knowing we will be shipping most of our house contents over so don’t want to get too many things we will then have to get rid of yet not wanting to be “camping out” for the next few months either. Well trade me is fun and we can always sell stuff later!
