Sometimes I don't have the time/energy/news to post anything... and there are some threads that I like to 'keep an eye on' - without making a comment - so I found this really handy!

Not much news from me...

We're getting Aussie home loans out tonight to give us a compariable home loan. We were approved by CBA for a decent amount - but it was on the condition we sold our house before buying another one. And we couldn't settle on another home before we settled! Too much pressure (with a toddler, a baby on the way, 2 dogs & a cat!!). We are looking at getting a bridging loan - and selling our house ASAP. We have seen a beautiful house that I would love to live in. It's not in the area we were initially looking at - and I've had to convince Yariv to consider it. But for $550k we could get this huge, near new home with 5 bedrooms + a study... or get a 3 bedroom old dump that would need a heap of renovation in the area that we would love. And in honesty - they are only 10-15km away from each other!

I'm sick to death of my garden at the moment. We spent the entire weekend working on it - back & front yards. I am sore and tired. But I must admit - it looks amazing! Even Yariv said he wished we had of done it when we first moved in. Near the entrance there were two ugly bushes/trees... which we ripped out and have planted little plants and flowering 'annuals' and put tanbark over it all. And last night Yariv installed new garden lights which look so cool. They are LED and blue! Admitably - we now look like a flight path... but it's pretty funky.
