We're moving

Aliantha · 03-16-2008, 07:22 PM

It's been coming for a while now, but we've finally decided the time is right for a move.

We're going to get out of the middle of the city and go somewhere a bit more relaxed.

We've been looking around Jacobs Well, which is about half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Actually, closer to the coast, but that's ok. Better even.

There are a couple of houses I'm going to check out. This one, which is probably the front runner at this stage, and this one although I think the allure is mainly in the hot tub out the back. Anyway, I'm going to go have a look at half a dozen or so properties tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes.

In the mean time, we have to sell our property here which shouldn't be too much trouble at all if we're lucky.

Wow, I love Jacob Wells, Ali.

We used to holiday there every year in my youth....well...until they made our destination a industrial area.

I just remember miles and miles of sugarcane.....ahhh, memories.

DucksNuts · 03-16-2008, 08:12 PM

Hmmm, the first one is weird isnt it? Looks totally different from the outside to what is inside. I like the bathroom and I like the house, which I didnt think I would from the first pic :p

I have nothing to say about the 2nd one.

Aliantha · 03-16-2008, 08:14 PM

Yeah it's a nice area, and reasonably priced considering the location. We were surprised, and certainly didn't think we'd be able to afford that area, but I guess it's still largely undiscovered as far as a place to live goes. There's a couple of big marinas going in just north and just south of the township though, so in a few years time it'll probably explode.

The best part is, the local pub has a pick up and drop off service every weekend. What more could you want?

HungLikeJesus · 03-16-2008, 09:05 PM

We'll miss you, Ali.

zippyt · 03-16-2008, 09:12 PM

Like an extra hole in the head I'm sure HLJ.

Besides, I'm pretty sure they have internet available there anyway.

We're doing ok Els, but it's mostly because the value of our house has almost doubled in value in less than two years. It was an astute investment, and we're hoping to strike another one in the new place we select.

With any luck we will. If not, we'll have a nice place to live in either way.

monster · 03-16-2008, 11:52 PM

like the hot tub/spa thing.

shina · 03-17-2008, 11:53 AM

Oh, definitely hot tub! Best place for nakedness and fun with your s.o.

Radar · 03-17-2008, 02:20 PM

I like the first one better than the 2nd one. You must be doing well for yourself if you can afford those. Good on ya!

An extra hole in the head helps to relieve pressure.

When trying to decide on a place to live, I always ask myself "where am I likely to get laid whenever I want" and then I pick that place. :-)

Congrats on the move. :-)

Trilby · 03-17-2008, 02:52 PM

Oh, Shel. You could get laid anywhere.

Stop being so coy.
