We Are Buying A House!

Guys, we are buying a house! We have pre-approval, and my father in law will be helping us (and moving in with us), so we are in the middle of house hunting - and honestly, it’s a really bad time, but oh well! We want 4 bedrooms (and room for a Man Cave and a craft room) land for chookies, and gardens, and of course a granny flat for the FIL. A great kitchen would be a plus! A little bit of a fixer-upper, but not that much :) It’s exciting, and anxiety inducing all at the same time!

I’m excited about being able to paint, and renovate without someone else's permission (well except YumMan) and grow all the plants, and get some more chookies!

This week's recommendations...

Reading

Parental As Anything by Maggie Dent, listening to the audiobook (usually when I’m having a shower), also enjoying the Very Excellent Habits weekly email from Carly (which this post is based on), and Pip Lincolne’s Daily email. I love getting a little slice of love in my usually full of crap email account.

Watching

Big Mouth S5

Starstruck on ABC iView. If you don’t know who Rose Matafeo is… get on it! She’s gorgeous and hilarious!

Wearing

A new black summer dress (yes black and summer CAN go together) It’s Midi length and is off the shoulders. It’s super comfy and flowy. Perfect summer staple, for those days that I don’t feel the full floral numbers!

Listening

Very Excellent Habits podcast, random Spotify playlists at work (I really need to create my own)

Eating

We made pulled pork in our slow cooker, and have been eating it all week. It’s so easy and yummy!

Doing

I guess it might be time to think about decluttering and packing etc. We have a rent inspection in a couple of weeks (hopefully our last ever one…) so cleaning will be happening, but I want to get rid of some stuff… lots of stuff, but it’s hard to let go sometimes.

Something old...   

It is mine and YumMans birthdays this month and we are old! Haha!

Something new

Animal Crossing 2.0 update is out, and so is the DLC Happy Home Paradise, and OMG, I'm having a ball. It's like a whole new game. I'm even planning on having a virtual animal crossing Birthday party for myself in a couple of weeks … because what 35 year old wouldn't want an animal crossing party?

Something borrowed

Borrowing a six figure amount from a bank to buy a house counts right? Eeeeeppp!

This week's tip?

Have trouble drinking enough water a day? I'm supposed to be drinking 2.5L a day. So I bought myself a 1L water bottle and find that only having to refill it a few times means I end up drinking more!
