NEWS

Well... I slept in a bit.
I was going to pop on here and say I wasn't going to blog today, but I do have something worth yabbering on about.

Steve and Bex have found a new home!
It took over 2 months as it's so very hard to find houses to rent in Auckland at an affordable price.

There are literally dozens of families turning up for each house viewing, so they were extremely lucky to see the newly advertised house YESTERDAY, get to view it YESTERDAY, and be told by mid afternoon that it was theirs!

I am sure Steve being a builder helped in their choice process, as the house needs a new bathroom floor!  Steve immediately said he could fix it... and BOOM!  They got it!

ABOVE:  MOVE IN DAY... only three weeks away.
It's going to be a hectic few days because the day after move in day is Dante's 5th Birthday!
And they have a little party planned for him and his friends on the day after they move!

Keera and I will be going up on the 15th so I can look after the kids while all the furniture and so on is moved to the new house.

I'm so excited!  They will be leaving their teeny, tiny little house for a much bigger, warmer, drier home.  Bex won't know herself!

There's 3 good size bedrooms, a separate Kitchen/dining room and a separate lounge.

The house is only 10 minutes from Steve's work base too... so it's such a good move for them.

So, there ya go.
My job now is to sort our all Keera's stuff, cos she will be moving in with them .... ON THE 15TH too.

I can't tell you how happy that makes me.  She's been with us full time for 14 months and I'm over it.  Time to get back to 'normal' and not be tied down with a 5 year old at our time of life.  Roll on the next 3 weeks!

Back to today now.
No definite plans except the usual housework and so on.
I hope have a lovely day... catch ya later.

ONWARD...

Just to clarify... Keera is thrilled to bits with her impending move.  She keeps looking at her 'new house' on the computer... she's so EXCITED!  And she loves knowing that she will be living with her 'brothers' and her new Mum and Dad (aka Aunty Bex and Uncle Steve).

JO:  for various reasons, what you suggested is not possible. It would require TWO parents permission. That would never happen.  We are certain things will work out just fine with an informal arrangement, as it has worked out so far for the others.  I will not publish your comment as I do not intend to put it out there as a subject of 'conversation' beyond this reply.

Well... not much has been happening today.  Lots of lovely comments though, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
It's nice that everyone knows just how neat our news is!  

Off to bed soon, another stinking hot night ahead.  Can't believe it's this hot and it's still only November.
