Prep-tober

A little over a month ago, I decided and also announced here, that I’d do a prep-tober challenge. Which I then put on the shelf of “to do later” things. And forgot. It happens, right? And then I remembered it in Thursday, and spend the evening panicking to find something that felt like the right […]

Dirty hair

Or at least I imagine it is so. But it barely looks like it! Ok, so if you’re easily grossed out, don’t read any further! You have been warned! So my instructions before getting my dreads was to do my last wash of the hair two days before my appointment. That’s Friday 3 weeks ago […]

Bali

We are in Bali! We’ve been here for about 9-10 days now. We have barely done anything, no sightseeing or touristy stuff. As September was rather hectic for us with trying to sell the van and the break in and all that, we are just recovering now. We’re on holiday. And it’s quite nice to […]

I really thought last week was the last time we’d sleep and live in the van, but with no luck of selling it […]

Roadside Assistance

Today, our campervan sales took an interesting turn. This is mostly reconstructed by what Petri has told me. We took the campervan to Ellerslie Car Fair, one of Auckland’s biggest car fairs. We set it up, all was well. I was going for an appointment, and a friend of ours joined to keep Petri company. […]

Sales status

Unfortunately I have reached a gap in the posting. And I will blame all of this on our current situation of trying to sell our van. Which is not going as well as we hoped. Yesterday, Thursday, we were supposed to have 3 viewings of the van. One couple cancelled on Wednesday because they found […]
