Today I took a large step into adulthood and talked to a bank manager about a home loan. And it looks like I am, as they say in the trade, unofficially approved. I always like to quote Seinfeld (refer to the title of the post) at times like this, as they always used this line just before something went hideously and awfully wrong. My unforseen circumstances happened on Monday, when I rang a real estate agent to organise an inspection of an apartment I’ve had my eye on for a few months. Nothing had changed on the real estate website, and no “sold” signs had gone up, so I assumed it was still available. Until the receptionist told me otherwise.

Of course, it was the most perfect apartment I could’ve found, in my price range, in the right area … etc, etc. So let’s just say when I made samosas half an hour later, not all my tears were from chopping onions. Still, I’ve recovered, and by tomorrow, I should be armed with the bank’s financial blessing (to a certain degree), and able to look properly, and perhaps make an offer if the mood strikes in the next few weeks.

I picked up my new postcards from the printer today, which look awesome, if you click the link below, you may notice the subtle changes from the old one. I’ve put some new text on the back (which you can’t see, but it’s great!), so I’m quite excited about entering a new phase with the classes. In related news, I’m now one of the proud sponsors of an event hosted by realmums.com.au, which is partly why I’ve had the new cards printed. Watch your back, Donald Trump.

Lastly, in my news of the last couple of days, I was flirted with by a man in a white van on Monday. Classy huh? I thought he was going to ask me for directions, but instead he said “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re really beautiful … (like you could take that the wrong way) … what nationality are you?” So I told him, and thanked him for the compliment and then started walking away. He called me back and asked whether I’d call him if he gave me his number. My reply? No, but thanks anyway. He was actually quite cute, but whole van/street experience put me off … just a little!

Today I’m loving: getting stuff done! And Christie from PT Plus.
