Re: Bedrock!!!...HANDOVER!!!!! 243May 23, 2010 8:06 pm Congratulations on getting the keys, at least now you can go there to chill while waiting to move in properly after the tiles and carpets are done. Funny embrassing story to go with the others, this happened to my DW a couple of years ago and she told me this story which I thought I would share - We had her mother staying with us and she is a bit mobility challeged, and she wanted something from the local shop, so my wife drove there with her in the car, and as she was hopping out asked her mother what she wanted, and she said "Black Balls" (which is a type of hard rock candy over in NZ that used to be really popular, but not so much recently, a lot of shops don't carry it), as the shop was run by a nice Indian Guy my wife really did not want to go up to him and ask him "Do you have Black Balls ?". So she got her mother to actually do that for herself, as for some reason her mother could not see what was wrong, so her mother goes up to the shop owner and goes "Do you have Black Balls ?", to which he just cracked up laughing, and pointed to where they were, we were thinking she was very lucky he stocked them and knew what she was asking. Afterwards my wife had to spend about 5 minutes explaining to her mother why he was laughing and she refused to ask for them, and she proceeded to go bright red when she suddenly realised what she had asked.

WOW is it just my imagination or did that just fly by?? Congratulations!!! RoadkillNZ How long before you get the curtains done ?, you are not going to do the traditional balnkets or the disposable ones from Bunnings while waiting ? We have had lots of action on ours this week, we got our driveway (after finding out it was in the wrong place and getting it moved before it was poured at least), sparky did most of the stuff he needs to, got aerial, got security screens, got letter box, got carpets, and we still have 1 day of the week left ! (The letterbox and aerial were pleasent surprises). We have been told that the PCI is sometime next week, and Handover the week after, so we are finally getting closer.
