Wednesday, November 9th, 2011 - We do have a house!

I know, I know, we did not post anything here for quite some time now, but the order of events was just so quick.... We will post something on the farewell party and all other events later. Oh by the way, who wants to see some pictures, we will post some here in the coming time, such as:

Good news first: We do have a house! Today we have been at the house the first time by ourselves and Snoopy is absolutely happy, although the electricity is not yet working again and so the heating neither... Today it was nearly warmer outdoors than inside. But - our first belongings are in the house! In the basement you can now find the flight box of Snoopy.

Our new address now is Caledonia Road, no longer Langestrasse :-) Pictures of the house will follow later, promised!

Tomorrow our container will arrive. Actually, it is already in port in Halifax, Nova Scotia, since Saturday last week, but today, they picked the container up there and tomorrow I have to be at customs in Moncton at 10 am to release it. After that, the driver will follow me to our new address to meet with the crew for unloading. Jippieh! Keep your fingers crossed that everything will work out weel and our belongings did not get damaged.

Of course, we also have our difficulties and problems over here... Some of you might have heared about it already. We have not yet sold our house in Germany, but we are quite positive that we shall manage this until christmas. On the rest - we are working at present. This means, however, that we have to finance our house here we by means of a mortgage, which was not easy to obtain, as here you do not get any loan without a credit history, not even a credit card for an account that has money in... But without borrowing money and paying it back, you cannot obtain a credit history, so this is like the cat chasing her own tail! But who knows us will know - we do not give up that easily. And by now I have managed to break in nearly every door ... :-) Otherwise I have to open a fund :D "Save Doris and Bianca"




My mother is laughing, at the RBC Bank in Moncton I am known by various employees. When I got in there last time, it was calling from various offices "Hi Bianca, how are you?" Is not the worst thing that could happen, ey? ;-)
