You're right - he can probably take anything except being ignored - now if only we had some decent Scotch, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadEnoughofJuju Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Funny thing that, I though I saw a post on this topic earlier today at 12:04 by someone, I think maybe it was a GaryVD or maybe a GrantVD can't remember though, must have been mistaken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonVD Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 23 February 2013Attended a friends' wife's "Baby Shower" this evening. The men where to one side with the drinks and braai, the women all around the expecting mother and such.During the evening there where a lot of questions and comments around our moving to Oz again. Best one was from my "best friend" as I use to call him, stating that he feels we are being too hasty... yeah right I sometimes hate having to rego over the subject and scrutinising by friends.I for one can't wait no to have to listen to it and being made like I am making a mistake...The one's making the mistake are the one's that are remaining blind to the reality that is South Africa... O well... the 8th March we going on a little week holiday/tour in Italy... will help relax a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JandBplus2 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have noticed many people seem to struggle with the inertia of making the decision and lack the commitment to back it up. It seems to be a competition between the fear of the unknown vs taking stock of their own reality. Each case is different so I would pay little attention to your "friend". Besides its your life and what you do with it is up to you as long as you are striving to be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonVD Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 1 March 2013It's been a couple of weeks since I sold my Kia Sportage. I took over my wife's Nissan Juke and I must say... this little car is truly amazing. She's got the Ascenta+ model, but I'm totally hooked. I read somewhere Nissan Australia are planning to introduce the Juke in Oz sometime mid-2013. I really hope so... would love to get my hands on a nice Red 1.6 Turbo Tekna with CVT gearbox and 4WD. Nismo Juke also an option, if it came out in Red On the other front... we are slowly but surely cataloguing the entire house's contents for the container. But truth be told, we aren't that motivated at the moment, because we are looking forward to a nice 10 day tour through Italy starting next weekend.Really can't wait to just break a bit from this SA hell-hole for a little bit before we finally escape...

But couldn't resist to have a look at this beauty - she is indeed gorgeous! I'm hoping to settle my account on my Mazda 2 in 3 months' time so definitely considering purchasing a Nissan Juke when they become available (love the Red too!). Here's a short article I found on it being introduced into Australia - production to start later this year.http://www.caradvice.com.au/196814/nissan-juke-crossover-confirmed-australia/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonVD Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 5 March 2013This country truly is the place that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. First the Deed's office loses my title deed to our townhouse, only to find it again later the day. Then FNB loses the loan application documentation from the buyer (idiots never scanned it in to their system to process). The buyer and his wife suddenly had to quickly resubmit everything to start processing. The lawyers also pulled the deed's office application to resubmit on Wednesday to fall in line with the application processing from FNB so that both parties should be completed by the 13th of March. This means I'm waiting almost 2 weeks now for my money, and no rental income or occupational rent as the buyers will move in when the process is done.Seriously don't need this hassle now On the bright side at least... Friday we are jetting of to Rome Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
