House hunting Sydney style

Our tenancy at Shelley Street runs out on Thursday so today we spent the day looking at apartments. It's a funny system here - estate agents hold open inspections for houses where everyone bundles in to have a look and then whoever says yes first, gets the flat. It's as stressful as it sounds. We managed to get to 6 different apartments today, 2 of which we've decided we like. Both, however, are slightly over budget so we've spent the day trying to barter them down...only to discover that their offices shut at 4pm on Saturdays so we have to wait until Monday to find out the decisionr! I hate being in limbo like this; I've fallen in love with both of the apartments and would be equally happy living in either...I just want a nice new place to look forward to moving into on Thursday! I hope on Monday I'll have some good news to write about. Keep your fingers crossed for us please!
