Kristie - Congrats on getting a buyer

Cindy - Home is what YOU make it...

Alex - Nice to meet you.. Looking forward to chatting in here with you often

Tracey - Cubbys are great. I wish Benjamin had a fort to play in. They've got them into boxes at daycare, and I'm tempted to go to Harvey Norman's and see if I can get him a fridge box or something.

Racheal - Benjamin get's in hitting moods I think. He gets stuck into his dad for fun more than me which is ok, until it gets serious and someone gets hurt.

I went to target today and was really impressed with the stocked shelves for the sale so i have decided to get in before everyone else,i dont care if i have to pay full price,i refuse to get caught up in the stress of the cues and catty women.i am going to go shopping next week and get it all while it is there and no cues.
Grant finished the cubby house today,it looks absolutly beautiful,he even put in the little fence pailings on the verandah with the tulip cut outs.he repainted the whole thing including the roof and floor and carpeted it,we went shopping and bought a kitchen and cradle,ironing board and all the pots and pans and plates etc she could need,i am buying a little table and chair set tomorrow.tonight grant was giving her tickles on the couch and she said stop daddy i need to check my house,she looked out the window and smiled,she loves it.so did harry.
every one is well here,another week of holidays.I am taking the big boys and there friend to a skate park in werribee tomorrow and me and the babies are going to a play center in werribee if i can find one.

Hi!

Omg...we've been house hunting all weekend...AND

I need some feedback! We've found a nice house - plenty big enough but not really any backyard...benefit being that we're 7 houses away from the primary school and about a further block from a playground and bmx track...
Needs paint and carpet which is fine we can do that before we move in and otherwise updating over time...
So we're really excited about the house but I'm not sure about not having much space in the yard...mind you - we haven't seen any houses with land anyway...

Link is here: CRANBOURNE NORTH


Tracey - Yeah at getting the cubby house up! Woohoo! The house I'm talking about above comes with a little cubby house - LOL!! Woohoo a freeby! Yeah at not having to cook - we had 2min noodles for dinner - OmG!!!!! So going on a health kick - the poor kids have been eating awfully...

Melissa - Thanks! The box idea sounds great!! I'm sure he would have sooo much fun!

Nikki - The cubby sounds gorgeous!! So cute! Good on you with the shopping at Target! LOL - I'm too much of a tight a*** to not get it on special! Hehehe. Have fun tomorrow!

Ok...I'm having brain drain I swear....we're going to have to decide on whether to put an offer in soon....I'm so nervous!

I hope you've all had a good weekend! Chat later!

okay kristie,i have had a look at your link.If i can give you an honest opinion i would suggest 4 bedrooms,i noticed this only had 3,you are considering another baby down the track and even with 3 beds and 3 children some will always,ALWAYS have to share.Imagine if you do have 4 kids like us,beleive me you will need to have 4 beds and even then someone will have to share.We would love to have 5 beds so that each of the kids can have there own rooms,it really becomes an issue as they get older,trust me.I think 3 bedrooms would not be ideal for you guys,The rest of the house looks open and roomy although there is no central heating,only a wall furnace...BBRRRRRRR,i feel cold just thinking about it,Does it have cooling?
just to give you an idea and i realise it is a different suburb but our house was 280 K and we have a quater acre,4 beds,2 living areas and an inground pool.I think you can do better,just keep looking,there is a ripper out there for you and it has your name on it,you just havnt been shown it yet.try not to be tooo hasty,i realise that you are trying to get it alll said and done before ethan comes but just look for a few more weeks.I also think that when you find the RIGHT house you wont feel nervous at all you will be excited.

Nikki, your house is awesome, I love your house. Seriously, I wish we'd been able to get something like that here.

There are 3-4 playcentres in Werribee and Hoppers Crossing. The best ones I have found are called Kidz Digz and Wonderland. I like the stuff at Wonderlad better, but the seating for parents is a bit of a PITA, its not as well laid out. The entry price is less though.
Kids digz still has good stuff (not as good) but the seating arrangements for adults are significantly better.

Which skatepark are you going to? There is one next to a large playground in WyndhamVale and another in Hoppers Crossing.

Hi!

Nikki - We'd love to have your house as wel!! But the prices just aren't like that out this way...we're already now going as south as we feel comfortable but we have a long wish list that we're trying to fill in the lowest price range there is...This was by far the biggest home we'd seen that had a garage...we looked at one 4br house that I fell in love with but only had a unuseable single garage that required digging the driveway up and no room for a carport or anything...
In regards to sharing the boys will just have to live with it - Michael shared until he was about 15 or 16 and I had to share with my sister (who was 9y older!!) until she was about 17 or 18 and dad finally built an extension!! Thats really the least of my worries...it has 2 good sized areas so they don't need to be in their room really other than sleeping etc...
I'd be more worried overcommitting ourselves financially...we are sacrificing with me not being at work...and we don't want to upgrade in 5-10 years because we want to buy land up the country - which will give them all the space they want - LOL!!!
I agree with the ducted heating - on our to do list as soon as we move in...I'm hoping we can get carpet/paint/ducted done for under 10k???? Cross fingers anyway!!! Then we'll be well and truly broke!!!!! No cooling so thats another thing on the list....but maybe not straight away or maybe a smaller cooler up in the rumpus room...
I know what you're saying about being nervous/excited...I think I'm nervous about the whole move over there...I feel like I'm moving interstate! Just completely away from everything I know and family/friends etc...It's not that far away but still a big adjustment...

Rachael - Hope you had a nice weekend!
