We've decided to sell

My dinner went well last night ... didnt go over points at all for the day and didnt have to use my saved points. Lucky the host cooked up plain potatoes and beans, carrots and sweetcorn, so filled up my plate with those, then had a little bit of lasagna (difficult to point but guessed at 5pts for a small piece) Dinner was 6pts all together...

Then I did Nannas waffles (1.5pts), custard (1.5pts), petit miam (1pt), lite whipped cream (1pt), 2 marshmellows (1pt), and half a banana (0.5pt) each for dessert... was a big success! All up dessert came to 6.5pts ...

Then for supper we had rice chips (2pts) ... so all up I consumed 14.5pts for the evening and 21pts for the day (even saved 1pt) only problem I probably ate too many points in one sitting but I think a success overall :)

Our exciting news for the day ... we have decided to put our house on the market. We found out yesterday that the new subdivision we are wanting to build in, has been given consent to include a brand new primary school and group of shops so this means the prices of houses should go up even more in the area... all the more reason to get in NOW before the prices go up. The amount we will gain on the increased value of our new house will far outway any returns we would get on having our existing home as a rental so we are gonna do it ... sell up. We have a price in mind that we want for this place so if we get it well great if not then we just wont sell... simple as that.

So today we are doing some tidying up around the gardens/section. Tommorow we will tidy the house and then invite a land agent to come give us a free assesment of what they think the house is worth and we will go from there. Mum has offered for us to live with them for the 4 or so months while our new house is being built so that will help us out ... After all the ups and downs mum and I have nice to see her come through and offer us this :) They have a house next to them that is currently vacant (that they own) so if it is still empty when this place sells we will live there and Bill will either commute from Hamilton to Auckland each day (about 1.5hrs drive) or he will get a place to stay in Auckland for during the week and travel home on the weekends. We will put the older two in school in Hamilton for the 4 months (will give them a good life experience) so sounds like it might all be working out. Well if the house sells that is lol... one step at a time ... for now there's lots of tidying up to do so better get onto it.
