"For I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love."

Still a bit worried about my loan what I should be having now, but I haven't, sigh!. I asked for that loan last Monday and they told me I will be getting it in a few days. Paula told me not to worry, you will get it in a few days. Thinking of it makes me angry, but okay I will wait a few days then. This morning I had a appointment with Paula, we planned to go out to visit a few second hand stores in the city, there sell only second hand fridges, stove's and washing machines. It's a small store with a few items only, when we arrived I told the seller my story and what I needed, (for a low budget) The seller told me that he hadn't much items at this moment, he told aswell that I won't find a washing machine for under 100 Euro's here, they were atleast 240 Euro each." He had a nice fridge though, it was a table model, a wide one.

On the left side there was the freezer section with four drawers, and on the right side the cooler section. "For 150 Euro I will clean the whole fridge and then it's yours," the seller told me, he  could deliver the fridge aswell. It sounded good to me but Paula was carefull, "We will wait, and make a decision later in the afternoon, we will call you," said Paula. It was fair enough with me. Paula was carefull with my money, I understood that, cause I still have to pay my first rent aswell this upcomming Monday with picking up the key. I have to be carefull with my money not only for 'that', next month there will be another rent aswell plus the ussual assurances, and perhaps other stuff. So I can't buy everything just like that. I will have to start low with only the things I REALLY need, for example I can do without a washing machine for a few weeks, or without a dinning table. The house doesn't have to be full yet.

The floor is the most important, and aswell a bed and a fridge, and the other stuff can wait for a week or perhaps a few weeks or even a month. I'm handy with such things, its a  must. Paula and I went to the next second hand store, the store was bigger and had more items. But the second hand stuff they had were less, the only thing the store had was a little stove for 100 Euro's. I don't know, I had doubts about the price. Paula said again, "We will keep the stove in mind." Being carefull, taking my time and counting the money I have or what I can spend. We knew enough and went back to Humanitas, there we took a coffee and Paula wrote the items down we saw with the prices. I asked Paula what to do next, I told her that my plan was to visit Ikea this evening. "What can I spend?" I asked her, I won't buy anything expencive cause 'the loan' hasn't arrived yet.

"Just keep in mind what you have to pay this comming Monday, that's enough," replied Paula. I knew enough and went back to my room. (Nr.15) I took my luch and afterwards a nap, it was needed. I took it easy the rest of the afternoon, I visited some selling sites, and answered some emails. I responded on a second hand washing machine for only 120 Euro, I asked them again for delivering the washing machine, cause I don't have a car. I will wait for an answer. I got aswell an answer back from the people from the 'couch,' they were okay with paying after the delivery BUT they want already the 'deliver' money. (20 Euro gas money) It was fair enough with me, I told them I will pay them this comming Saturday. Then I will have the next appointment with Paula aswell.

IKEA your amazing!!!

Ikea was awesome! WOW! What a store! At 6:45pm me and another resident (with a car) drove to Ikea, (only a 20 minutes drive) I haven't been at Ikea for almost four years almost, I was pretty excited you could say. I saw many things I liked, and wrote some of the furniture or other item prices down, I can tell that I know now already what my house will look like in the following years, Ikea style! So much nice stuff and some items were really cheap, ofcource I bought a few things. A lamp for on the ceiling, (so cheap) a bigger cooking pan, (what I really needed) two pillows, (only 50ct each!) I was actually looking for a bed and laminate though, but these small things were to cheap to let them stay. A nice guy helped me with the bed and the matras, I told him that I was about to move and that I needed a bed or only a good matras, I told him aswell that I had a very low budget. I did a matras test and it was amazing, we found a few matrasses for a low price what suited me and I knew enough, the Ikea matrass is in the pocket!

My idea is to buy a good perfect matrass and perhaps a nice bed frame later in the month. I saw aswell a nice couch wich I can fold into a bed, that's a really nice idea aswell. I couldn't even see that the couch could be folded, it was a nice couch for a nice price. I arrived at the laminate section and looked around for a nice color, again nice prices for a nice wooden floor, nice colours aswell. I called a guy and a girl who helped me with the prices, I had a 'floor pan with me from my new house so they could measure it how much laminate I need. They puzzled and they measured and it took a while till they were done, the guy and the girl wrote down the total square meters and the prices of the total laminate plus under floor. It was almost closing time for Ikea, me and the other recident decided to pay our stuff and go home.

I had a nice evening at Ikea, I have been good informed and was happy with the prices. Tomorrow I will try to make a end list, all the stuff I really need I will write down again plus  the prices, sum that all up and see what it all costs. I hope I will get my loan before Monday, that would be handy.
