Ok so 5 weeks have passed but i have been busy, I promise!
Easter holidays came and went, we had a fabulous easter weekend, going to the beach 3 out of the 4 days, cronulla, port kembla and then balmoral.
While i was at balmoral beach, i happened to run into a friend from work and her husband. Wow did i get a surprise as her husband is a bit of a beefcake! she is an older, reserved sort of lady so i didn't expect her to be with someone as young and hulky as he was! but it turned out to be a lovely day, the beach was beautiful and he was really lovely and got along well with my hubby.
My close friend stayed over with her family and we pitched the tent in the back yard so the kids could camp it out but her family ended up staying in there while my kids stayed inside, felt a bit guilty with them being our guests and all and they are the ones that end up sleeping outside. But the lure of a big warm comfortable bed just upstairs was too much for me.
My mum went to reunite my uncle with their father for a week. The trip was an enjoyable one and we had a nice week without her and doing the drop off with the kids, or i should say my husband did. My friend had her baby, another is due in a month and a few more are also due in the next coming months.
I also went to a friend's mother's funeral which was a sad loss and something i hope does not happen too often.
but more excitingly, we have found the perfect house! One that is in our price range, is 3 years old, is walking distance to the shops and primary and high school, good schools too, and the layout of the house fits our requirements! we made an offer within a few days and got a bit pressured to offer a bit more, so our final offer was 1.3 mill! it has yet to be accepted and i'm still not quite over the price but we've had a week to think it over as the vendor has been delaying the decision. We still feel it is a fair price, not a steal and not a rip off. I love the location, it has a big yard and big rooms. We will find out in a few days but i still can't see myself living in such an expensive house!
fingers crossed that this house hunting turns out well in the end... i have indicated that i want to return to full time, we'll need the extra money to pay down this debt! no more shopping!
i did recently buy a lovely pair of black leather boots that i love, on sale for $200 for winter... a bit of a treat, and i love them... so lets hope buying something you love is worth the additional cost!
