We have Cooled Off
Oct 2nd, 2008 by Jane Blogs
I tweeted a couple of weeks ago that we’d made a successful offer on a house and signed contracts.
We’ve now gone through the cooling off period and taken the kids to have a look at it.
Well, here are the pictures.
We actually had an appointment on Saturday afternoon, but the agent didn’t turn up and when we called to check she was apologetic but unable to give another time.
People who disappoint excited children deserve a special place in hell.
It was the first time the kids were to see the place, and they had to make do with running around in the front yard for half an hour.
But luckily I maintained my sunny disposition and suggested a walk around to the reserve behind the property, where WonderHubby lifted them each up so that they could see the backyard over the rear fence.
So the kids had a ball anyway.
Anyhoo, we finally went through on Wednesday and the official verdict from Wren & Mr Bump is that they don’t like it.
They love it!
No joking, that’s what Wren said when we asked her. And of course Mr Bump had to echo her response.
I am sooo hanging out to be there now.
Settlement is on the 27th of October, although it all depends upon the vendor moving out. If he moves sooner, we may too.
He’s looking for a place to rent, so cross your fingers that he finds a good one this weekend.

Yeah! When we were house searching we always took the kids with us, they really can be a good judge. This is sp exciting … as much as moving is not fun a new house is great!!!

Hope that the vendor finds a place this weekend. It would be so exciting to move in earlier!
