RE: Black Thumb Chronicles : Gnome Crazy
I don't know when these things are DX
So basically what happened was the house we were looking at reduced in price (yay!) so we kicked into high gear (we'd been kind of slowly muddling through the process) and got a pre-approval and then...estimated sale prices and valuations for our house came in a lot lower than expected (we're zoned R60 but there's not many other R60 blocks for sale in the area so my friend who is a REA and my brother in law who is a valuer priced it in the range of the surrounding R30/40 houses) so we may not be able to afford it after all. We're waiting on Keystart to tell us what the valuers they sent around have to say and then we'll see how we go I guess.
And no. Not even the solar ones. Because as amusing as little glowing eyes in the night would be it will probably give some of the kids that would be visiting and having sleepovers nightmares forever XD
Yikes!!!! Sucks about your house Ry. I hope the Keystart people has good news for you, but at least you guys are steps closer now than you were months ago!!
Just cross fingers it all works out and in perfect timing.
LOLOL could imagine kiddies running in terror from the garden...
There's goes the midnight easter egg hunt idea... ;)
Well if we moved to the new place there's a pool house that they would be having sleepovers in which is relatively self-contained (it has a bathroom with a toilet and you stick a fridge in there with drinks and snacks and they'll be set for a night) and if they're telling each other ghost stories and suddenly those bloody eyes come on at night, it would be pretty funny for me but maybe not so much for them XD
I'm just going with the flow. If it's ours we'll get it, if not then we won't which will be fine even though I'll be annoyed about the time spent in the effort XD
