I ...Thank you Kate - you have given me some hope ! I am trying really hard not to discount homes based on what is in them now but to imagine our furniture in it. The second house was easy because it was empty. I think I just need to keep calm and focus on what I do want in a house and what I will compromise on - but I was so hoping we wouldn't land up having to buy a house that needed heaps of renos - I don't know if I am up to that. The problem is that those are probably the only ones we can afford - and then do them up over time.<br />At least there is no huge rush to get my folks in - they are OK where they are for now.<br />Have a great weekend !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-75826663204386982002013-11-15T10:41:02.877+10:002013-11-15T10:41:02.877+10:00I'm going to hang onto that and hope that the ...I'm going to hang onto that and hope that the same happens to us.<br />I think sometimes I have to try harder to imagine our furniture in places rather than looking at what they have. The first house we saw was just lovely but probably heaps too big for us - and my concern with a big house and lots of storage, is that the hoarder amongst us (aka A) will fill every nook and cranny - it would just drive me nuts when I am trying desperately to have a minimalistic home !!!<br />Have the best weekend !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-13700503351037850332013-11-15T10:38:50.380+10:002013-11-15T10:38:50.380+10:00Oooh - that is exactly what I would like to happen...Oooh - that is exactly what I would like to happen - I will keep my fingers crossed that it does !<br />Have the best weekend !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-48210389808437593232013-11-15T10:38:18.976+10:002013-11-15T10:38:18.976+10:00LOL - we have done that too - especially with home...LOL - we have done that too - especially with homes that we have driven past before and wondered ' I wonder what the inside of their home looks like' !<br />Thanks for your good wishes - have the best weekend !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-47279752219756902242013-11-15T10:34:43.533+10:002013-11-15T10:34:43.533+10:00Thanks Kathy - I am trying so hard to remember tha...Thanks Kathy - I am trying so hard to remember that !!!!!<br />Have the best weekend !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-71131787293393568732013-11-15T10:34:12.419+10:002013-11-15T10:34:12.419+10:00That is what I am hoping Rae - more houses on the ...That is what I am hoping Rae - more houses on the market and more people wanting to buy so ours moves fractionally faster than the one we want to buy !!!<br />Have a great weekend !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-12453860022631424302013-11-15T10:33:28.437+10:002013-11-15T10:33:28.437+10:00I always said I would never move - in fact, when w...I always said I would never move - in fact, when we bought our house I said to A to make sure it was the one he wanted because I was only moving out in a coffin !!!<br />Then my priorities changed and a tree change plus wanting to help look after my folks has meant I will have to leave before I make it to a coffin !!!<br />Have a great weekend and thanks for hosting the linky !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-35971985447266988322013-11-15T10:32:05.837+10:002013-11-15T10:32:05.837+10:00I am starting to realise that.

And yes, possibly a first world problem, but that doesn't reduce the anxiety - we live in the first world and there are things that are stressful. <br /><br />I agree with Sarah, the right house will find you. We bought our house under some pretty terrible circumstances (one day when I'm in Brisbane we'll sit and have a wine and a chat!) and it was one I'd discounted on the internet, but when I saw it, and pictured it without all the previous owner's rubbish in it I knew it would be great. Two and a half years, and SO many hours of renos/work it is fantastic.<br /><br />Good luck my friend, xoKate @ Our Little Sinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11138985147900557916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491980023984137836.post-36126759774632622102013-11-14T22:22:38.714+10:002013-11-14T22:22:38.714+10:00On it is so stressful!

We bought our house when I was in early stages of pregnancy and so sick and the weather was so horridly hot. I was so over it that I wanted to buy a house with a back garden on such a steep hill that it looked like it was going to topple over and become a mound of rock and sand any day. It would have been really safe for kids! Thankfully my partner was seeing clearly, but we both knew when we found "our" house and it was just before Christmas also so there is hope.
