Every day I am grateful we own this house. Mostly it’s because I know we won’t lose our safety deposit when the kids draw on the walls, or I kick something too hard and make a cupboard fall off it’s hinges.
I’m not so sure Nathan feels the same way – not after he just spent a week stripping the years of caked on paint off the bathroom door so we didn’t have to look at an ice blue mess anymore.
I’m writing more about what it’s like to buy a house in a total state of disrepair over at Money Circle today.
And yes I know I’ve been sending you over there a lot, and I’m hoping to write more here soon too. One day. When Eve doesn’t keep stealing my keyboard, or shutting my computer down, or screaming at me because she’s getting her eye teeth.
Save me.
(As I was writing this she put a hat over her head so she couldn’t see and walked into the table. Now she’s sitting on me screaming because I won’t let her type.)
Anyway, click over and read. I think you’ll like it.
A good friend of mine blogs with a small child who wants to ‘help’! She has an old keyboard and mouse, and various other old electronic button and fiddly stuff set up nearby. They both ‘work’ together. Of course, the peace doesn’t last long but there is a bit of it!
