House Rented !!

When we left Chris & Tina's on Monday evening we drove around looking at more houses and saw one just around the corner, called the landlord to see if we could view it the following day, he said if you re near by I can be there in 5 minutes!! Result !!

We waited for Dallas to arrive and headed inside, totally loved it!! Negotiated a great price on the rent with some utilities included too. DAY ONE was a fantastic day!!




The following morning I headed to the mall whilst Lee went for diver training and found stuff for the house. Once Lee was back we headed to the south side to look at furniture and add me to the Canadian bank account this was a simple process and only took around 10 minutes, I was issued with my debit card there and then and set up my own pin right there in the branch, very different experience to the UK. The other difference is you get charged for everything !! We needed a cheque book as our landlord has requested the rent be paid by this method it cost around $40 for 100 cheques there are so may different designs which you can upgrade to if you choose - "I'll take the cheapest please"

When we were at Tina & Chris' yesterday we also met Jo whose hubby also works for H&R. She very kindly invited us all for a roast dinner and volunteered her hubby who was arriving home that night to cook it !!So come 4:30 we headed for Jo & Faron's for a fabulous Roast beef dinner. Faron you are a genius it was amazing. Lee has to cook next time should be interesting!! (hope everyone likes beans on toast or take away!!)

After dinner we met Dallas to pay the first months rent and damage deposit and pick up the keys to our new home, we also got the rest of this month free :-)
