We live about 20 minutes away from you, in Anstead. We finally moved into our new house about 8 weeks ago. How long have you been here?

We live in a highset queenslander and we haven't got the drainage sorted yet so whenever we get heavy rain we end up with huge puddles under and around the house. Luckily there's nothing down there but it stays very muddy for a while after. It also encourages the weeds to grow so we're surrounded by giant weeds and a mud lake! Thats the trouble with building here, you get the house but nothing else.
We're coming up to our 2 year anniversary, but we've only just finally unpacked as we were renting before.
You'll soon be coming up to the brick wall that most people hit where you're thinking "oh my God! What have we done!" It seems to get most 3 months in. I hit it a little earlier when our stuff got delayed and I couldn't find any vegetarian food in the supermarket! Let me know if you need any support.
Take care,
Jane
