Today Steve went over for a chat when he saw him in the garden. He turns out to be a nice enough chap so I feel better about that.
The one who are moving are hill-billies living in the big city (!) and wanting to move back to Morrinsville before their 6th child is born. I heard her shouting at the kids the day after we moved in. You can shout at your own kids as much as you like in my book - they probably deserve it, but no 4 year old deserves to be called a ******. I'm surprised with 7 mounths to feed there were any cats left! So, they were going anyway!
I have to go and blog Scotty - Steve will do the technicals, I will supply the words

i'm fine honeybun, just deliberating over a house that we viewed on friday (of course dan & don have put us to shame now!!!)
i spent most of yesterday working out our income/outgoing to see if we could afford the mortgage, cos i had convinced myself that the mortgage repayment was more than our rent. i must have been having a blond moment cos it was quite late in the day when i noticed that we pay rent weekly & would pay mort fortnightly, so could easily afford it ....doh , silly cow
then as i go to bed i remember that i forgot to put the family tax thing on our income so now we have even more spare $ each fortnight
