Coping with public and private transport since 2001
Here we go, it has been a full week and a lot has happened over the past 7 days. We’ve been painting frantically to get as much done as possible to be ready when the furniture arrives. So far, I can proudly announce thet nothing is completed! Just kidding, we’ve got a lot of the walls painted and all but
Continue readingDay 2 began with massive loads of painting. After finishing the ceilings on most floors (only 3 small ones to go!) it was time to start rolling some colour on the walls. With great help from both my and my girlfriend’s parents, we’ve made a huge difference. See for yourself! Before & After: More is to come!
Continue readingAs Arjen mentioned yesterday, we own a house! We’ve been hard at work painting all walls and ceilings (yes, that’s a lot of square feet of wall!) and today the guys from the bathroom have arrived They’ll be working on our bathroom for the next couple of weeks to complete it and fully redecorate it to be tailored to our

That is: if you’re lucky enough to know what you want. When you don’t have the slightest idea of the
Continue readingYes, yet another major event is planned in the near future: the 16th, we get the keys to our very own house. The last few weeks have been all about frantically trying to obtain all necessary stuff to fill the rooms with, and we are nearing completion there. I’ve added a little countdown on the sidebar to your right, just
Continue readingAs of the 16th, it’s only a mere month before I can rightfully be declared a home-owner. Oh well, at least a home-co-owner since we both will own half of it. Secondly, I will legally have a partner. It’s pretty weird to know you’re going to legally bind yourself to another person, regardless of the fact you perhaps even intended
Continue readingThis week, several things have happened, which do not happen often. Firstly, I got two separate acknowledgements that our mortgage is accepted by the institution lending us the money, and they do not see any reasons why not to let us be able to buy our house. Yay! We now own a vast amount of money. 🙂 Secondly, but not
Continue readingOn a regular basis, but slowly, the documentation needed to apply for mortgage is coming into our possession. As it is a painstakingly slow process, we’re hoping to complete it on May 2nd; just in time for our May 5th deadline! Mortgage-people: the first batch of paperwork is heading your way!
Continue readingYesterday, early in the evening, my girlfriend and me have decided we were in a long-term relationship and have confirmed this decision with a 30-year contract. What? A 30 year long contract? Yes: our mortgage. We just signed the mortgage proposal, and are scrambling to get all the right documents to the creditor to get our mortgage approved. May 5th
Continue readingThis kind of sums up the last week. I asked my supervisors at the university to accept the semi-final version to be the final version, for me to hand the thesis in officially and to finally graduate. It now is over a week since I received any communication from my first supervisor, so I’m getting anxious. Trust me, I’ve tried
