The biggest development is that we have got a house!! After much scouring of the internet and attending of open homes, we have snagged a goodie. We were quite fortunate in fact. The agent that the Reynolds rent from told them that if we find a house with their company that we like, since the Reynolds are such good tenants, that they would be happy to take us on based on the Reynolds recommendation. Coincidentally a couple of days later a little beauty came up with them. Mrs B went to the open home (it was at 4.30 in the afternoon!) and it was perfect.
It is a one year old 3 bedroom stand alone house with an ensuite, a lovely patio and a single internal access garage. Only $250 per week. What an awesome price. We were so happy. To rent the same house in NZ we would be looking somewhere in the mid to high $300's per week. Will post up some pics after we move on the 23rd.
So of course, having a house means that we need to have furniture! We went shopping on Saturday at Fantastic Furniture and got an awesome deal there. We got a queen bed, a queen mattress, two bedside tables, a 5 drawer tallboy, a 7 piece dining suite, a TV cabinet, two couches, an appliance package of a blender, cake m ixer, hand mixer, toaster, jug and sandwich press all for only.....$2500. We were blown away by the deal. Fantastic Furniture lived up to their name! I guess you know where we will be going when the time comes to set up the spare room.
Well must go. To give you a giggle, check out this pic that someone sent me:
Ha ha!
