Kerri's Awesome 'BlogThe rantings of an Aussie on the verge of insanity.

Uncertainty is just shitty. A year ago, we had a plan.  We would do up the house, sell it, buy a unit for the kids and move to San Francisco. A pretty simple plan in the grand scheme of things. So, we did up the house and put it on the market almost 4 months [...]

….that selling your house really sucks? You make the decision about price and know that they are going to screw you down, so you have have to allow for that in your asking price….. yet how much is too much?  How much can you put on your house without it scaring off buyers? It’s a [...]

I keep hearing about this phenomenon, but find it hard to grasp. Do other people’s kids leave home? Mine have been hanging around for 20 years and more and I’m still waiting for them to break the *choke* dreadful news that they are going to move out. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my kids. [...]

I found my old blog, finally! I only made two posts on it, but I found them interesting, as I originally thought it would take us a matter of weeks to get the house finished. It turns out it took us almost exactly a year. Written 17 April, 2007: The adventure starts here. Right here, [...]

We are currently doing stuff around the house to pretty it up for sale, as last noted in Lovin’ The Laundry It sucks…. exercise is the only thing higher than renovations on my list of suckage.  Did I mention that I hate renovationg? We are at the stage where only one room needs major work.  [...]

I’m a very sad little person! I have a new laundry and I’m totally in love. *happy sigh* I have NEVER had a nice laundry. I’ve never had a bench in my laundry. The laundry was always the ‘tacked on’ thing in every house I have owned/rented/squatted in. Even the house I grew up in [...]

Yes, it’s the long weekend! WOO HOO! We have a few *choke* things to do this weekend, and it’s not good news. We are renovating our house and I would like to get most of it finished this weekend. So…. Tonight we veg, drink and eat crap food, tomorrow we empty the laundry. UGH! This [...]
