Huge amounts of debt is cool

So, originally when i first wrote "The 30" list i put in a few big ticket items that i really really hoped would happen but were a possible no go. The biggest of them all being buying a house....

So guess what.... I bought a house! well we did, but still I DID, same dif...

Some of you may be thinking this all happened a bit to quickly and nicely but after 8 months of looking and 5 lost auctions with interior design daydreams smashed on the sidelines i had almost but given up home.

That was of course until the shining star of being given a break in the Melbourne property market actually meant that I was able to find something, and even more, bid and win it. Well kinda. So the auction was yet another butterfly stomach day with the dread of having to walk away and start again still in my mouth. I allowed myself to wander the property beforehand and allow only the smallest of creative ideas to bloom away but mainly i tried to see the flaws so that if we lost out I would be able to remember why it wasnt "the one".

As beforementioned the gods were smiling and after a laborious negotiation of approximately an hour after the auction we got the golden handshake of congratulations. It was a sweaty tug of war between Fi and I, the realestate agent and the interstate owners but we managed to get what we think was a fair place and then out came the tape measure.

Anyway now all the exciting parts are of course back on track which is decorating the place! I am happy to report that there is space for the pole, albeit only to give up an allocated dining area (seriously who needs a dining table anyway? more trouble than they are worth). The walk in robe is probably one of my best happy places, and I am comfortable with sharing approximately 30% of it. :)

The rooftop is pretty spesh, with 360 views of the city to the beach, st kilda, the MCG and all inbetween It will be somewhere enjoyed A LOT. The only question is how to extend it and get a spa up there and a hawaiian themed bar with built in karaoke machine?.

Anyway another exciting tick on the list.

On other updates you will be happy to know that BOTH tattoo consultation and hair appointment are booked....eeek.
