All in..and reminder!

Well we are officially all in our NEW house, and we are soooo excited..the kids love it, we love it and we are now thinking of all the things we want to do..all in good time. In the meantime today we did this -
- attempted to make breakfast in a kitchen with no knives, and on bread that we soon discovered had gone mouldy from the weekends humidity...yuk!
- unpacked a few million more boxes..still overrun with them.
- put up the christmas tree with the kids..that was fun (pics to come)
- attempted to cook dinner..a really yummy fresh steamed vegies with marinated lamp chops...mmm, but discovered the following, still cannot locate a knife, or a chopping board, the oven is unusable ( you will see why when I get a chance to post a pic!), the microwave isnt working, I dont know how to turn on this particular gas stove, and the bbq is out of gas, also when hubby came home and did discover how to turn on said stove, it too was gas-less! A little like me at that stage..so we ate FRESH bread with butter toast, followed by nutri-grain! MMM yummy..not! The boy piped up and said we are not supposed to have breakfast now! LOL.

Anyway all in all not a very productive day, but I dont care I am in my very own house again..woohoo!

Big News!

Ok so I have said over the past week that we have some big news..well..here it is...


(these pics were taken by the real estate agent

with the current tenants in place)
We have a new house!Yes it is a little 30 year old brick house but it is ours. It has a lot of work to be done, but that is okay..dont mind a little elbow grease...it has lots of room and a great area for the kids..we will be moving in about 8 weeks. It has a "Nanny Flat" at the back for Mum, when she moves up next year..she is a Nan on the Run and always travelling and going to festivals etc, so she is heaps of fun to have around, and the kids are super excited.

So the house was built in the 70's - good vintage that - and as I said needs a bit of work done to it, mainly tidy up and paint and getting rid of those horrid mirrored doors (any ideas welcomed) and the dark grout on the floors.

We are very excited that we will have our own little piece of the coast as we have been renting here since we moved nearly 4 years ago. This will be the first time the boy has had his own official room, which I cannot wait to decorate!

Anyway that is it!
