How exciting! I can't wait to see photos - such a beautiful corner of NSW. Best of luck with the packing - which reminds me, I must get some more packing tape so I can get started...Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-58236638431854526352012-05-29T16:28:38.996-07:002012-05-29T16:28:38.996-07:00Privacy is important, isn't it?

I'm a sticky beak myself and can't resist looking, but I hate the idea of people peeking in on us.Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-19288550790827470432012-05-29T07:30:32.862-07:002012-05-29T07:30:32.862-07:00Great news a good option came up for you guys........Great news a good option came up for you guys.....I think we will both me packing and moving boxes around the same time!

Privacy at home ...That sounds like a good decision! Privacy at home is very important in my opinion. When we looked or houses we saw a few in that type of area where most houses look the same, small gardens and some houses even seemed to almost share gardens with the neighbour, with no fence or hedge in between. I hated the thought of living like that. I was so happy when we fond our house, that has everyhing, privacy, closed in areas and more open areas in the garden. And we have a hedge all around the place.<br />How great being able to move house without a truck!Susi aka Sineadhttp://sinead.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-1716788007202108292012-05-23T09:00:15.036-07:002012-05-23T09:00:15.036-07:00The gate noise has been one of those things we'...The gate noise has been one of those things we've just tried to live with and not whinge too much about - it's only bad at certain times of the day. But lately we've decided a bit more space would be nice, and once we got the idea into our head, and realised a different apartment could be potentially a LOT quieter, it's been harder to ignore that gate. It actually used to be much worse, in our first year here, but they fixed the hinge so it doesn't shut so quickly now. <br /><br />Still only 2 bedrooms, but I think it'll be nice to have more space between our sleeping and living areas. Not looking forward to packing for the reasons you mentioned!Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-77452225024140170172012-05-23T03:24:55.745-07:002012-05-23T03:24:55.745-07:00Oh that is daunting ... but good luck with it.

I had no idea your current location was so noisy and I think it would drive me bonkers too.<br /><br />It is hard moving with the kids underfoot. R hated the tape dispenser and screamed every time I used it and W kept unpacking the stuff as I was trying to pack it but we got there in the end.<br /><br />It is hard throwing out the artwork. I've kept folders with the best stuff and special occasion things in it but have had to be ruthless with the rest. They really do send every little scribble home and buggered if I know what we're supposed to do with it all.melbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032793912135092967noreply@blogger.com
