Home Sweet Home

Sunday, 10 May 2009

Ahhh.... back at home at last! We have been out a lot recently... lots of dinners... people over... going out... and it's been lots of fun... but I have missed home! Deep down I'm probably a home body. It's not even about a particular home, I could be at home anywhere in the world! But there is just something so comforting about having your own space, filled with your own projects and your own thoughts...

On that note I just wanted to thank mum this mother's day, for making home such a great place to be when I was growing up... it's probably why I like it so much now!

Well, it's time to catch up on the piles of work I've missed of late! Hope you all had a lovely weekend...

Proud House Owners :-)

Wednesday, 3 December 2008

We own a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so unbelievably exciting :-) Ganesh and I are very proud house owners of the house below... It's just incredible... After months of looking and starting to despair that house prices were going up again, we found one! The first open was on saturday, we put in an offer on saturday... The owners asked for an offer in writing, which we put in on monday when we got mum, lach and grandma to come and visit... On tuesday the agent came to our place to 'negotiate' a higher price... We only went up half as much as they wanted... she said it was unlikely and left... there were a few moments of despondency... then she knocked on the door and let us know it was accepted!!! On wednesday we went and signed officially and paid the deposit and it was all done!!!! So so so exciting!!!!

It's a great house... energy efficient... so light... lovely garden... clean polished boards and a new kitchen... Lach has decided to commit his summer to renovating the shed to be a livable games room... Ganesh and I will both start riding to work once we move (Ganesh already has been for the past month)... Perhaps finally I'll lose the 10kg I gained since starting work this year and sitting in front of a computer all day and all night...

I have also downloaded Google SketchUp and have started trying to create an image of our house to load into google earth... It is a little harder than it looks though!
