Yep no pictures.
Christmas was good for us this year. We settled on the lot we were purchasing on the 24th of December so we now own a piece of Melbourne. The contract with the builder was signed on the 21st so it is now up to the bank to approve the plans and we start.
Jennifer and myself are very nervous about this as it all the house money we have saved riding on this. It not like New Zealand, if a bank doesn't like you over here they have the right to make your life hell and we're changing banks.
So Christmas day was a quiet family affair with phones calls and Skype messages going most of the day. The turkey was grat as we had injected it with butter and Cajun spices. A great combination and it made the turkey taste incredible. The kids all got HP netbooks for Christmas so the house was full of computer questions. it's settle down now and there are no more arguments about who's turn it is on the mac. I just say "use your own" and they do. I also got an extra one for Jennifer and myself to use for when we're doing he genealogy and studies.
Lissa and Gemma are both planning to go to Brisbane for conference over the new year, so thing will be quiet for us as well over the new year.
Jennifer and I have been doing a few road trips and a little bit of shopping, but not much else.
Hope everyone has a great new year as we Will be , we're building a new home.
