• Sorry Andy and Sumali, Jamie Durie is out of the country at the moment. We are flying in Nudge instead, so we won’t bother with a camera crew.

Hey everybody,

I’ve just discovered a bunch of comments that were never approved, we never saw them sorry but they’ve been approved now. Ive extended the recent comments list down the side to show 15 instead of 8 which  should show all of the recent ones. Basically once we’ve approved a comment from your email address all comments you make after that using the same address will be approved automatically.

More stuff is being done…

The alarm and Modem have been installed, with all wiring in the wall cavity;) Neat FTW.

The bathroom floor is starting to go in. FYI 19mm Compresssed sheeting is very bloody heavy

Hi Guys,

Sumali is in the process of updating our site so you can watch video’s of our new house, but until then, here are some pics of the renovation so far!

We have gutted the inside walls of the dinning room which will become the new bathroom.

Making a wonderful mess in the mean time

We have then make the room a bit bigger, and starting the plumbing for the shower, toilet, vanity and spa.

Happy mothers day for yesterday all the mummys out there (including Joanne whose birthday is today also, happy birthday Joanne!).

To celebrate the family went out to an Indo Lankan restaurant in Seven Hills where Andy had his Garlic Naan with butter chicken, I had my Beef Kotha Rotti and everybody else had a variation of Dosa, Curry and Vade’s. Probably should have taken photos because it looked great.

In the meantime we’re one step closer to getting the house, still need to get the first home buyers grant thing approved which might take a while. We’ll see.

We’ve decided to have our engagement and house warming party on the same day at our house (once it’s at a stage where we can have visitors) and just have one big celebration so if anyone who’s not in Sydney is planning to visit us that would be the ideal weekend to do so.

Dana sent us some really awesome photos and stuff from the past and now that our scanner is working well I have to share this absolutely adorable letter with you:

Andy’s letter to the tooth fairy:

I can’t quite decipher his last line but I think he’s saying he lost his tooth when he ate an apple. How cuuuute!

In other news most of you already know we applied to buy a home recently which we’ve signed for so now we’re filling out lots of convoluted forms with the bank and being all impatient while we wait for settlement.

We managed to time all this so that we’re stressing out with home loan stuff right in the middle of when Andy has his stock take and is working late nights. He’s working right now but luckily today’s the last day and we go see the bank on Monday to hand in all the paperwork. I guess the real stressing begins when we find ourselves half a mill in debt and having to budget better. Fun fun.
