So Friday was a disappointment that I  felt was hard to get my head around.But I had no choice.I had to.I mean,there was nothing that I could do about it to change it.The agent said to me that she would see what other properties she could find over the weekend.But I was not holding my breathe.Do I blame her?yes,In a small way.There were a lot of things that her company could have done to change the outcome of the auction.After all,they had a signed sale an purchase agreement in place.But they chose not too.
So I awoke on Saturday morning after going to bed on Friday night feeling very very rattled and upset - but i was able to think a lot clearer on Saturday.One thing I pride my self in is being able to think fast on my feet and make a decision.
I went out and got the morning paper and started going through the property pages looking for anything that was in my price range that sounded anyway half decent.Was I desparate?Not really - just agitated and wanting to be able to do this.I am a very selfmotivated somebody,who know what he  wants,and knows how to get it most of the time.
I set up a few appoinments and went to see a few places,but nothing really caught my eye.
I called the local letting agent in my area -do I really want to rent somewhere else,when I am 'happy' here? I am not sure.But if I dont make the call,and find out the possibility of somewhere which is rent with the option to buy.I wont know,will I ?
The lady I spoke to,said that she would call me on Monday morning and let me know what she had - so we shall have to wait and see on that one.
I saw another 2 properties this morning.
One of which was just what I was looking for - so I said that I would take it.Only thing was.He wanted someone in from Dec 1st.Thats a problem as I need to give my landlady one month's notice.She has been so good to me and I dont want to mess her around.So the guy said to me,that he would consider me and call me later,but essentially he would need someone in from next weekend.If her didnt find anyone,then he would give the place to me.
In between all this, my pc decided to crash again last night.Great,I thought - just when I needed it the most.it decided to let me down too.
So I realised that i was going to have to format and start again.
I started at about 10pm last night,after exhausting efforts and trying to see if I could fix the problem myself in safe mode -but nothing worked.
The initial installation took about 2 hours,then I had to reinstall the modem and all the other things that i need to have as a matter of course.
I think I ended up going to bed at around 3am this morning.While I was busy,I had the tv on and it was just my luck that there were a  couple of movies on that I hadnt seen for years.First there was 'Trading Places' with Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd,and straight after that was 'The Last Dragon' from the mid eighties.I still remember the day that I went to see that in the movies when I was about 15.
 The weather was so damn hot yesterday - summer is on its way - I think it got up to about 34 degrees with the humidity - but today was overcast,humid and drizzling.It rained solid from about 2pm today.
I like the rain.I even went outside and stood in it for a few minutes.I think my neighbours think I am crazy.
I got a call this evening that the house that I put in an offer on this morning had found two other people who were prepared to take on the property earlier.So i Lost out again.
At this stage I am not sure if I even care any more.Tomorrow is another day.Another experince,another set of events and decisions.
So we shall see what that brings.....
