    What game are you playing now? (Part 2)

    Still fighting a Valheim addiction. It really has no right to be as good as it is, considering the tiny team that developed it, and the fact that it's still in early access.

    The Amateur Astronomy thread

    I had quite a nice view from KZN, but unfortunately only had the little travel scope with me, so I will spare you the crappy cellphone pics :ROFL: You could just separate them with the naked eye, through the scope they fit nicely in the field of view of my 6mm eyepiece.

    Bed Recommendations For Side Sleepers

    We bought a Sloom mattress about two weeks ago. I love it so far, no more walking up with a numb shoulder. On the softest configuration it's still quite firm, but with a soft top layer to absorb pressure on all your pointy bits. But either way you can adjust the firmness to suit you.

    We have the same thing on our Standard Bank bond. Apparently it's an incentive to pay your bond off faster. They do quote the effective interest rate of the full period as well though.

    Congrats! The weather this side also just held long enough for all the moving to be done. And then the power went off from 4-7pm... But we're in. Enjoy your new home! :)

    Yeah, I'm a bit annoyed. Its not like they didn't know this was happening. We're busy talking to the estate agent, but I'm worried he's going to ask us to just be nice and let them have the weekend to move. I don't want to be a Karen, but we also really want to move!

    Turns out the tenants aren't out yet, because they were expecting the transfer to go through next week. Even though the original estimation was mid-October. What do we do now? Our OTP didn't have a clause for occupational rent, it stated that the owners guarantee vacant occupation on transfer.

    Thank you everyone! And thanks for all the advice and support :) I hope you all come right soon as well!

    We just got registered! :D The estate agent complained it was taking too long, and somehow got the attorneys to walk it through a bit faster. Woohoo! Does this mean we can get the keys today? Or do we have to wait for the final confirmation letter and account statement?

    Ours also took about 4 days to be assigned to an examiner. Today or tomorrow it should be at examiner level 2. We were hoping to move this weekend, but that probably won't be happening :(

    Agreed, it's been extremely helpful to be able to follow along with the process from different viewpoints. Knowing what to expect, what issues are likely to come up etc. Made the whole process a lot less scary, especially for first time buyers like us.

    With us it took the bank about 7 working days to get back with a Proceed to Lodge instruction. But why haven't your attorneys sent that through ages ago??

    Huh, that's what you get for listening to estate agents I guess. Probably just wanted to intimidate us into putting down a deposit. We did make doubly sure that our OTP excluded that 72h clause at least. Anyway, good luck @powermzii!

    From my vague knowledge of things, they can only accept a second offer if you haven't paid a deposit. At least that's what our estate agent said. So perhaps if you're very keen on the house you could put down a 5% deposit or something?
