Hi!

Happy belated Birthday Nikki!!! Hope you had a great day!

Omg - what a horrendous weekend - one of the houses we looked at needed new weatherboards, roof, windows, carpets, paint, plaster, kitchen, bathroom - Oh hang on NEW EVERYTHING!!! and it's on for $270+!! ****!! Another one had paint peeling everywhere not tiles in wet areas with all the floorboards rotten and a complete hole in the floor in front of the shower that was just covered with a square of chipboard!!!!!!! How can people try and sell a house like this??? And they're still around $280-300 in price! It's CRAZY!!! I'm so grateful for my little unit now - I know it's old but at least it's neat and tidy...
We came away very disillusioned about what we're going to be able to do...Now Michael's on the lets buy a small (TINY) block of land and build a townhouse on it and live in it for a while and sell it and make some money etc...I'm not entirely opposed to the idea but I'm sure it will be a hell of a lot of work (and running around as I"ll have to do most of it I'm sure!)
Anyway...off to look at a block this arvo but I'm sure it won't be suitable...I think it's steep and odd shaped...

It's a miracle - both my boys are asleep! Louis hasn't slept through the day for ages but I made him today - he fell asleep on the couch at around 5.30pm last night so a good indicator that it was time for a catch up sleep! LOL!

Cindy - we were looking around ferntree gully, upwey, boronia etc...Some of the places were rentals and they just stunk - like horribly - of smoke and damp dogs...yuck! I thought I lived grotty sometimes but nothing like the state of some of these places!

Alex - LOL at a book being more appealing - I agree! LOL! Oh well...it has to be done sometimes to keep these boys happy - LOL!

Rachael - How did your tupperware party go? How exciting that everythings really happening with your new house. I'm sure you're house will sell!! The market still seems to be moving quick enough...I don't think people are paying top dollar so much though...there's been quite a few properties we've seen on for a while but it simply looks like they're asking too much...
Bugger you guys have coughs - I hope you improve soon! Sorry to hear about your MIL's dog...how sad...

Hmmm...long weekend - renovating shower and hopefully building fence as well if time allows, myer photos of Dylan, I think I'm doing a TL party on Saturday although I have to give a call as I don't think we realised it was long weekend when we rescheduled...appt with midwives on Monday - which I'm excited about as I'll get a referral for my next scan!

Tracey - Sorry to hear you had such a bad night...Big hugs! Liam sounds like a little angel baby though! Hmm no advice from me I'm afraid...It certainly doesn't sound like a lack of attention thing - probably just an adjustment thing...I suppose if you stay firm with him he'll come around eventually??

Ok better go and get a bit organised before Michael gets home and we head out again...kids are asleep though so will have to wait a bit anyway...it gets dark so early now though we need to leave by 4.30pm at the latest or we won't see anything...Hope you're all welll - chat later!
