    Hi!

    Alex - LOL - anything to get out of the housework! I've got no excuse but my house looks like a bombs hit it...and I'm still in my pj's - LOL!

    Rachael - Well, thats what I figure with having the school and park so close not to mention all the stuff I take them too anyway...The more I think about it the more happy I am with the thought of sacrificing the land for the house...every time we look at it in reverse where we have land and no house we know we wouldn't be happy...
    Hope all your house stuff is going well! How cute Milo having so much fun at the footy!

    Well, we'll decide tonight whether to put an offer in or not...might be another trek down there tomorrow! LOL! Wish you were already down there Cindy - I'd have someone to visit! Hehehe!

    Chat later....

    Kristie - How many houses did you look at before you looked at the 1 you wanted us to look at? You get gut feelings about places, I know I do even if I do rent. I'm picky, about the size of my yard, the colours in my house and of course price, and what possibilities I could have at the same price. Hey, to put a funny spin on the situation, if you can reach out your window and shake hands with your neighbour than consider backing away quickly, that's just way too neighbourly close and not enough yard.

    Hey Melissa...yeah we looked at about 10 properties over the weekend - this definitely is the one that we kept referring to as our top pick...
    The neighbours are close but it actually does have a lot of privacy...your blocked off from the road as the house is set back a bit behind some trees/bushes etc and then you've got your fences and I couldn't see any of the neighbours house etc....so definitely not an issue there...
    For looking over the weekend it was definitely a quiet area thats for sure...We'd probably be the noisy ones that move in - LOL!
    I'm convinced but Michael is still umming and aahhing - not just about that house but our whole move as well...I think he's just really worried about such a big purchase...We're going to be in a lot of debt and with me not working it all falls on his shoulders! He just doesn't want to make any mistakes which I respect...
    The good thing is with the house needing a bit of a touch up the value will only go up - if it was already renovated it wouldn't be in our price range!

    Had a lazy day today...kids were good...had a fun game of soccer down the hallway tonight until they decided to fight over the ball - LOL! Had roast for dinner which was good - we ate junk food all weekend so it was nice to have some veggies!

    Chat later!

    Howdy!

    I feel like i havent had anything to say on here for ages!

    I have been working heaps and not doing much more than that at the moment....

    Kristie- did you put your offer in??

    How is everyone??

    Melissa - what happened at your appointment with the IVF specialists? Have you been yet?

    Nikki- did you buy a car?

    tracey - how are my boys?? the cubby sounds cool, door or not!

    im going out for tea with nicky and damien and the kidlets tonight which will be nice, Al needs to do some socialising, he is a grumpy thing at the moment.

    Crap - my phone has not stopped today! Damn patients wanting to make appointments and bug me about accounts they dont want to pay! (I'm at work!)

    OK, so i will keep this short thanks to my busy day today,
    It looks like our settlement is being brought forward a few days which is very exciting.... We are sooo ready to move! The people we are renting through are making life hard for us at the moment trying to charge us extra money here and there and refusing to put it in writing so we are refusing to pay them our final months rent etc untill it is in writing! We understand we are breaking the lease etc but they want money for scratching themselves! And every time we talk to them the amount goes up....

    Only 18 sleeps till we have our new house, oh, and a big mortgage!
