Settlement Moving Forward!

Wow, what a couple of weeks it has been. Finance was approved, and then the building inspection came up OK (a few things to fix, but no surprises at least), so settlement was formally set for November.

I went to visit the couple we are buying the house from last week, and the place they wanted to move into was still on the market. I gave them a couple of tips to get their offer accepted (another guy had an offer on subject to finance which had been dragging on, I suggested that we could move our settlement forward to then let them put an unconditional offer on the place they wanted). As a result, we could potentially buy our new place in as little as 4 weeks!

I'd planted out some seedlings in our current home a few weeks ago (cauliflower, broccoli and spinach) but now it looks like we won't be around long enough for them to properly grow out!
My wife's also been renovating a kitchen! Well, one for the kids anyway... She's taken two old small chest of drawers (about 40 years old, they were my parents originally) and converted to an oven and fridge, then a piece of MDF board to be the bench in the middle. Four black coasters for the stove, and a stainless steel mixing bowl for the sink, and viola! A new kitchen!
