Just received news about my share of the plunder.

It was in the lower end of my expectation, but with it, it means I’ve hit a financial milestone.

Ho ho ho and a bottle of whisky! (only because I don’t really dig rum)

Well sorta, anyway.

I collected my keys today.

Actually my agent collected on my behalf and will be giving it to me tomorrow. However, I have to let the seller overstay a month, so the “official” handing over is next month.

The journey to a non debt-free life begins this day though. Seeing a chunk of my savings disappear like this sure gets getting used to. (I still stare at disbelief at my atm slip sometimes.) The next big chunk of my savings will go into renovations and furnishings.

This should hopefully go a long way into fixing this gaping hole in my wallet.
