Good News Item #2 : We seem to have a buyer for our house. They just need to come in to the estate agents and sign the paper work.
In the end there were two bidders. The first ones offered A$30,000 less than our asking price and were told there was no way we'd accept. The others offered spot on but the first ones upped all the way to A$10,000 more than our asking price and the others couldn't go any higher. Apparently they have already sold their house and needed to find something quickly.
So, we also need to come to a quick decision. Once they have signed their offer and we have signed that we have accepted it there is a 10 day cooling off period before it is definitely a done deal.
Jonathan from our real estate agency took me yesterday to see a former Defence Forces house at Winmalee. It was very nice and probably a sensible choice but the house we like in Blaxland (see picture below) is still available and has really captured my heart.
We have an appointment to see the Winmalee house all together on Sunday and are also waiting to see if we can make an appointment to see the Blaxland one on Sunday also. Karen said she'd come along for some independent thoughts.
Good News Item #3 : There was an all staff meeting today. I didn't actually go because it started at 8:30am at Katoomba, a thirty minute drive away and I don't start work until 9am. For me to go would mean either getting a friend to take Ishbel to school and I don't like to ask too many favours, or be out of pocket for before school care. So I offered to man the desk at Springwood Library instead. Gets me out of a boring time. Only it wasn't so boring this time. The library got TWO of the GM's Innovation awards. We won the category (can't remember which category at the moment, probably community something) with The Living Library event we held earlier in the year. And we got a highly commended for the Readers in the Mist library blog.
