Doing my best not to feel anxious about today's inspection and any forthcoming emails from the landlord. Very grateful for psych session later today though the emails will probably come tomorrow or later in the week. Hoping I can book in a session for next week too.

Think I'm going to treat myself to pizza tonight. Salmon pizza

Absolutely zero point in stressing out before anything happens. sets you up for arguments you may not need to have and locks you into a position you may not want to hold. feel what you gotta feel but ride the wave of it all if you can.

Yeah look tbh that's exactly why I'm not going to be present during the inspection, I'd rather have some distance from it all this time and I don't want any antagonism to leak out while they're there. Only written communication going forward

Try and remain calm. See if you can document things as they happen on your phone if you're able to incase you need it for evidence at VCAT while it's still fresh in your memory.

A treat for yourself sounds well deserved.

I did take some general photos of the joint (and of the defect on the balcony) before leaving for work this morning because I won't be around for the inspection itself. That's all I can do really, and hope for the best

You've got this! Hope the psych session goes well.

Salmon sounds good for a kitten!

So far no emails or notes left around, nothing seems to have been disturbed. LL has a habit of dropping bombs on Friday afternoons so we'll see what transpires through the week.

Unit I viewed today was way too small. Only large enough for a bar fridge, and a communal laundry. Below my budget but not worth the savings

I've got my fingers crossed for you 🀞🏾

I know finding a place at the moment really sucks. You'll find something suitable I reckon, it's just getting through that initial slog :)

Thanks. Yeah the competition is a bit stiff. I'm lucky at least to have a chunk of savings and a good job (and no visa hanging over my head!!!!). Glad I got the ball rolling with inspections to know what's out there and where my price point is at.
