house hunting

cutting a long story sort: we love our house. it loves us. we wanted to buy it. we saw the price and nearly had a stroke. so we rented it a year ago, and quickly realised its not ideal for us after all.
1. floating stairs with a one year old - not ideal!
2. space, cramped, can't move, toys everywhere, study in bedroom... you get the picture! I f I had known our house was to turn into a giant toy box, I would never have considered this place!
3. Telkom STILL hasnt got a line in the complex 13 months after requesting one!
4. the rent is going up :(
5. they sold the house to someone else and can't say when we'd need to be out.

so, we have been looking for something to buy and call our own. it's not as easy at it seems! first you need to find something within your budget - problem 1! then you need to get a 100% bond - in todays time this makes it problem 2.

we have subsequently ran out of time, and with 2 weeks to go until we have to move out, I have to a) find us a new place to call home b) pack up the entire house and c) get a million projects for work done in between all of this.

no wonder my eye wont stop jumping!
