A New Home For The Coopers!!!!

 Behold the beauty that is our new HOME!

 It's official The Cooper Family has a new place to call HOME! 

This is very exciting in the 10yrs we have been "one" we have always thought having a home of our very own was going to be out of reach!

I cant wait to move in so much that I have downloaded all the photo's from the Real-estate website and am busy planning where furniture will go, pictures will be hung and which wallpaper or paint colour will suit each room!

Miss L is very excited too and we are practising walking from the new house to her school in anticipation of the move. It is a great chance for me to check out the neighbours homes, where the dogs are and which homes have plants that I might like to borrow cuttings from. Ahhh I am in nosey lady heaven!!!

I am very proud of my husband for working so hard to provide this for his family also a huge thanks to a special someone who also helped us achieve this. Your love and support has been immensely appreciated!

Roll on November when we can officially call ourselves home owners with a permanent Phone number, fixed abode and financial responsibility.

Yay a New house for the Coopers!

So it turns out Real-estate agents don't care to much about helping you find a rental.
One young lady receptionist did go out of her way to show me photo's and go through prospective houses within the school zone so that I could drive around and look at them while her Boss (the agent) was at a "lunch meeting".... and  no I did not bother to waste my time or petrol doing that!

I ended up staying over at my parents (thanks to my brother becoming unwell that day & going to hospital ) and got a chance to check out the evening paper, which turned out to be a stroke of luck (totally the way we have managed anything over the years I am sure). The following day I drove over to view a house (private landlord - no agency fee's) that was the complete opposite of what is on our must have list and ticked a lot of the boxes on my I don't want list.....and I totally loved it!!!!

What's there to love? Mainly it is big, around what we live in now but square rather than rectangle and it has a large lounge with a gas heater and hot water. I cant wait to have a long, hot hot shower before turning the cylinder down so as not to burn my child! and I will enjoy having separate living spaces again - no more cracker crumbs in my dining / lounge / kitchen area to stick to my socks.

Oh and did I mention it has carpet oh my god how I have missed it! I can't wait to be able to sit on the floor again without feeling 100 year's old and having to do a weird 50 point roll just to get up!

Anyway here it is in all its brick town-house glory may it be a blessed little home for us over the next year or so!
