The property gets listed

The house gets listed. It was also the day the hippy photographer from Daylesford came (S’s description of him) to take some snaps of the place for the real estate agent. Though, it wasn’t a trouble free day. The photographer was due at 3.00pm but that was changed to 2.00pm which meant there was less cleaning up time. Then one of the fluoro tubes in the kitchen went out. One of the bedroom lamps stopped working. It turned out that the photos were taken with the blinds twisted and untidy, S noticed after he’d gone. He also wanted to take a photo of the back of the house, under the pergola. That was unexpected, and of course that area needed to be cleaned up first.

The agent posted a preliminary ad of our property. The ad listed the wrong price, wrong number of bed rooms, wrong inspection times, and I think the wrong number of bathrooms. After contacting them, they fixed most but not all of the incorrect information.

I rang the credit card company from work and got the credit limit raised to $2000. No application required. All done by phone. I had no idea it would be so simple. This was Virgin Credit card. So, this makes it easier to get over this tight spot.
