The first plunge

Alison and I have been looking around for town houses and units for a few months now but to date it's only been "window shopping". Sorta shook things up a little this weekend when we found a three bedroom unit in Annerley which we're quite attached to. It's a renovated block of units in a 30 year old building but it's been done up quite nicely. Moving quickly we notified John and Sheena who came down promptly to take a look at the place and this afternoon we submitted an offer to the real estate agent for the property.

The two of us are scared witless but I guess it's all out of our hands now. There's another contract that the vendor will be considering so there's a high chance that we won't get the place but we figure this has been good experience regardless of the outcome. Hopefully we'll know a little more tomorrow afternoon so for now we're trying not to think about it.

Nice day planned for tomorrow in the city before we spend the night at the Carlton Crest (cheap dealies on offer) as a bit of a treat. Probably the last chance for frivolous spending if we're looking at mortgage repayments in the near future. :P

Heheh, yeah we certainly feel like we've grown up a little now.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully Alison will stop saying I waste my time writing posts that no one's going to see. :P
