Alleluia and I applied for two places yesterday, both in the same suburb a bit further away from work than we are now.
Alleluia and Helga had applied for some three bedroom places that wouldn't include me as a fallback measure, and their prospects were looking good. Of course, ours looked good too, given that we turned up straight from work and probably looked more dependable than the car full of what looked like stoners who also came. Additionally, one place was being managed by the agency we are currently renitng from.
Alleluia and Helga were going to have to say yes to one of their places unless we got a a quick and positive response from one of these.
This afternoon we were offered both. It's not yet clear which one we will go with. Carpet and closer to the shops and or a bit more for more space and further from the shops and wood floors that will be louder and colder in winter. We are consulting with Helga and Roxy about their preferences, but either way it looks as though we will be staying together.
I realised last night after we put our applications in that it was entirely out of my hands. If we heard back in time we would stay together, and if not we would be finding different places. It was kind of liberating, and I was quite calm.
It's still a temporary place to live, but at least I will be able to leave on my own terms.
Hooray!
