Cough, Cough, Splutter, Splutter

Ended up being sick for 4 days but sort of getting better. Just got back from doctors. Not getting better, now have been diagnosed with Bronchitis!!! Off sick for another couple of days.

We discovered we already had our first house guest after my husband flushed the toilet for the first time!!! Yes it is a green tree frog!!! Apparently if I make him an outside pond and move him there he shouldn't need to come back inside the house. That will be a while so in the meantime he is getting the royal flush treatment (HAHA!)

Need to go and lie down now.

FINALLY!! All is well with the world

I can't believe a week has gone by already!
Well let's see where to start???

Settlement was supposed to have taken place on Tuesday but ended up being postponed by the sellers until Friday 6 July. After all we went through trying to get everything done and keep to the settlement deadline it ended up being the other side that extended it. By the time we got the final phone call saying - "Congratulations you are now the proud owners of your new home" - all we could muster was a smile to one another - we were too exhausted to do anything else.

We packed and packed and packed until we could pack no more!
We cleaned and cleaned and cleaned until we could clean no more!
We unloaded and unloaded and unloaded until we could unload no more!

Amazingly we are finally into our new OWN house and are totally surrounded with many piles of boxes! (Technically, the house was built in 1965 so the house itself is not new!)

Tomorrow we go back to work after having had a week off. Today will need to find and organise the kitchen and bathroom things. My husband tried getting the kitchen in some sort of order yesterday by putting my spice rack up on the wall - don't get me wrong I think that was really sweet but he used an already existing hook but it is up that high that I can only reach the lowest spice jars! My son suggested that I use my BBQ tongs to grab them - yeah right!

Anyway besides being totally exhausted, the kids are having fun exploring the new house. They are having running races up and down the stairs with our dog. I pity the dog.

I have taken 4 rolls of film of our house so when I get them back from being developed will upload them so all can see.

That is it for now. Need to find some food - I remember putting it somewhere in the house!!!!

They're on the home stretch now and ....

Stay tuned...

On next bat time....

On next bat channel....

KAPOW!

BANG!

CRASH!

Well that is not the noise of packing but it comes close. We have hired a shipping container and bought ourselves a moving trolley. We have grabbed as many boxes as possible from a variety of sources. So far we have got enough. Worst scenairo is we run out of boxes - that will just mean that we will need to make many car trips. Where we will be moving to is only 10 minutes away to a house twice the size of our current one and with a pool.

We have a final pre settlement inspection on Tuesday morning so will take the camera with me this time and take some shots.
