Old dog, new tricks

Ok so you can't teach an old dog new tricks. My promise of weekly updates was shattered within a matter of two posts. I could come up with all sorts of excuses (holidays, work, kids) but I won't bother - I'll just try try again. House update: off to see the bank for proper loan approval tomorrow morning. Sure it will all be good, fingernails only a little chewed, trying to get all the paperwork I think they might need together. Building approval should be in or just about in with council, waiting on a couple more things (retaining wall design) before it can be finalised. Retaining wall will hopefully go up over the Christmas break so we can be ready for slab etc after christmas. Little by little!
