Here's whats been happening,
Plumbers were on the land 27th Feb and the slab was pored on the 5th March, the frame was erected in April, roof was put on in May, and brickwork has gone up, and we now have a house,
Laura unfortunately had some bad news that her Grandad had passed away, so flew back to the UK for the funeral, I stayed here in oz with the girls and everyone again helped out with getting the girls to school etc. She was away for 2 weeks, so I had 1 week off work as it also clashed with the girls school holidays here.
The house that we are in at present is up for sale, you can see it by clicking on this link http://www.open2view.com.au/Property/50930 it was up for $360k but has been reduced, still not enough to sell it ! so we have had three open days, (when people come round and wander through the house nosing in all your cupboards etc.) which we were not at all happy with, but couldn't do a lot about it apart from move again!
The girls are fine and Bethany is looking forward to her Birthday party this weekend, Chelsey has mastered the art of riding her bike with no stabilisers and is also looking forward to her birthday party even though its not till October !
We have been out and about most weekends, wont bore you all with the details, but this weekend was just as hectic, Saturday we went to order a new bed, and ended up with a corner lounge suite ??? Sunday was down the house sorting a few bits out and later Janet & Dave came round for tea. Monday we took our jammy mates to the airport, they won a competition on channel 10 (TV station) a brand new car and 6 holidays to major sporting events any where they wanted in the world, this time they are flying back to England for the Wimbledon Tennis.
Jo and Dale had invited us down to the shack, which we would we of loved to of done but needed to get things done at the house, before they moved on to the next stage.
Winter started here on June the 1st, and we have had a few nice days still, but we have also had a few crappy days, the temperature plummets at night time and I have dug out my thermals, it probably is still warmer here than in the UK, but we all feel the cold now.
Any way, dinner is now ready, so must go, will try to keep blog updated.
Bye for now Laura Steve Bethany & Chelsey.
