Got it!!

We have got it! The new apartment! It be ours!!
I'm signing the contract on Friday, and then a week later, we can move in :)
I'm so incredibly happy we did! It is a shame it means we won't be moving to England for at least another year, but I really don't mind that right now :)

Obviously pictures will follow :)

Housing update

Today I've had contact with the estate agent again. They don't know yet when they will hear something. They are hoping to hear something today or tomorrow, but they are not sure if they will..
So we will just carry on doing what we've done before and the only thing we can do.. Wait.. And try to not get too hyped up..

In the mean time I've continued with trying to get another place. Reacted on a couple more decent places but it's really difficult and expensive most of the time :(
Sometimes so much that single rooms go for more money than this appartment does.. That is more then € 500 for a room and then you have to share the livingroom, bathroom, toilet and kitchen..

The other thing I've noticed is that it seems like it's calming down.. Since we have viewed this appartment it seems like there is less places offered then before we viewed.. With the very big possibility that we don't get this apartment I have continued to look just as much as before the viewing, so I don't think thats the issue

Viewing

Well, last Friday we've had a viewing... together with about 30 other people..... But it's a very nice apartment, and I still fit all the requirements, so that is nice. Today I've filled in all the forms and I hope that we'll get something from this because this apartment is just IT! It looks nice, is the right size and the right price!

Sadly it was so busy I haven't been able to take any pictures but it's got a very nice floor in and some wallpaper on the wall that isn't too great (light green and light blue) but it's wallpaper anyways. It's got a nice little balcony that's pretty much entirely out of the wind and rain so for good use. And because it's on the 7th floor it's got an AMAZING view! It's got a bedroom with an actual door in it and a bathroom with a bath and the connection for an actual washing machine! That would be heaven! :D The kitchen is an open kitchen and has plenty of storage room and room for our current fridge and stove.

It's all nothing special, but so much better then what we've got now :) So hoping and praying that we get the place! :)

Just a short update

I figured I would post a little update on how things are going :)

I'm currently corresponding about at least four apartments, all pre-furnished and on the west side of Amsterdam. Would be cool if I could get something on that side as it's the side my work is on. Depending on the amount of furnishings we might have to put some of our stuff in storage but with some luck and cleaning up it won't be too much :)

The biggest question about all of these apartments is whether they will allow us to live in it together as they are meant for one person. But of course as soon as I know something more I'll post mor again ;)

Edit: I looked more into the four apartments I was going on about and it turns out the emailaddress I have been given is owned by a scammer.. So that won't do..

Snow!

Well, it's been quite a while since I wrote anything. But I have to start at some point again. I will try to keep it to a weekly or two weekly posting.

So far we still don't have a place in Amsterdam, and due to that the moving to England has been postponed. The other thing to that is that I've still not passed my driving test, so that makes moving to England a lot more difficult as well. For the driving test I'm going to change driving school as my old instructor was not a very nice person and not teaching me much any more :(

Also it has snowed today!! This fell in a little over 3 hours...
