We have sold our house – we ended up selling it for a lot less than we wanted but its sold and now it means we can move to the next stage – buying a section and building a house. In two weeks time we will be debt free for the first time in our relationship. Although we didn’t get as much as we wanted we have ended up with enough to pay off our car loans and also pay back my Mum the money she lent up for our deposit when we brought our house. Although it means our deposit won’t be as big as we hoped it does mean that our next mortgage will be our only debt.
Although I haven’t officially made the decision to flag the charity bike ride I haven’t been able to train for the last two weeks so it kind of means that I am running out of time. First of all my bikes gears gave up the ghost. Of course it took over a week to get fixed and in the meantime I have done something to my hip which means if I try to rotate it I am in extreme pain. My chiro is slowly making it better but biking is just out of the question.
Up until Tuesday of this week we hadn’t had any decent rain since late December. Since Tuesday we have had constant rain. Its been a g*d send as it means relief for the garden as we were having water restrictions which meant I wasn’t able to water it so my lettuces, capsicums and beetroot were beginning to gasp.
The Young Man has really taken a step up with his eating lately. Now he wants to try and use a fork or spoon and his taste buds seem to be ever expanding. The other night a gave him an olive to see what he would do – well he scoffed it down and put out his hand for more. Tonight he had homemade chicken fried rice and he ate probably about a cup of it – followed up with jelly and icecream for a special Saturday night treat.
The Adman is away this weekend working. I used to dread weekends when he would have to work out of the area but now that we are back home its not a problem. My Mum is here and she helps out so much and makes all of our lives so much easier. This morning she even got up to the Young Man and let me have a sleep in to 8am – bliss!
As a way to celebrate selling our house I am planning a night away for the Adman and my self. We have never had a night of luxury before so I am planning a flash hotel and some spa treatments for us as well as dinner at a very acclaimed restaurant. Of course the Adman is working for the next 3 weekends so it won’t be happening for a while but it will happen.
