My DS just got his first bike for Christmas. We're building in Wallan, good riding to be had up around there as well. Thanks for the link.... hubby will definatly have a read! Glenn has a Suzuki.... I has cuased so many grey hairs.... plus my little son already has the gear for the bike. Just waiting for his god brother to get a new one! They are on a rotating system at the moment! Too much $$$ when they will only get one winter worth of riding off it before they grow up! I tell you.... he has spent 2 weeks in the Austin with a smashed ankle.... and not to mention the time off work! It was nearly 7 months before he was even able to go back to light duties! I hope your sone has all the gear thats needed. As i'm sure he would have been dead without it! lisanne aaron4erin Hey Lisa, I've been following your blog, and I meant to comment when I read the part about your sister... and the lack of interest. I'm in the same situation, my sister shows very little interest, and it's a bit of a strained relationship at the moment, I was a little tired of it being one sided, so I've stopped making an effort, and haven't heard from her for ages! so I completely understand how you feel! Funny you girls should mention strained relationships with sisters! Is it only since your exciting building news has arose.... or always been that way???? Glenn's sister is a lovely girl..... but odd in so many ways! We tell her any sort of good news and she cracks it something shocking! engagment, wedding, baby, new house! Each time she hasn't spoken to us for over 6 months! It's almost like she needs the time to come to terms with the fact other people are happy! But even after this time can be quite bitter and nasty..... for example! when we got engaged.... i had to wait 3 months for my ring as glenn got it desinged and made in europe! When i finally got it (yep.... felt like forever when all you wanna do it flash it around as you do when your newly engaged) she said "you've waited all this time for THAT?" and walked away! Luckliy her mother saw it and repramanded her quick smart. Which i found really funny! A 30+ year old woman getting into trouble for being a brat! Needless to say.... i have now just put all her tantrums down to jelously! Sad..... but very true i think! Could this be the case with your sister????? Hope things get sorted out soon!

Glenn and I are building our dream home..... http://lifeastherichmonddavisclan.blogspot.com/ Re: Building in Doreen..... 13Apr 12, 2009 8:49 pm There must be one in every family! Kirby, I think your sister-in-law must have been incredibly jealous with a response like that about your ring. Disapointing though, to try and put a downer on such a special exciting moment. What an amazing man you must have to have got your ring designed in Europe! There's 10 years between my sister and I. She's the older one, two girls, 12 and 11. Went through a nasty separation 5 years ago with her husband when she found out he was having affairs... with men. Two years of hell, and now they share recipes with his boyfriends, and are back on great terms. Since all this happened she's been very distant with my family, but still makes all the effort to keep up appearances with his family. I've tried talking to her a number of times, wanted her to be the first to know that I got engaged, she seemed a little excited back then, but as I planned the wedding she started telling me what I could and couldn't do. She's become rude, which she's never been before. My parents are finding it hard to maintain a relationship with her, and my brother the same. She's yet to ask us once how the house plans are coming along or anything like that. We find that she calls, or rathers texts when she wants something, but never to say hi. What's the age diff with you and your sister Lisa? Has there's always been a bit of a rift in the relationship, or just since you decision to build? Re: Building in Doreen..... 14Apr 12, 2009 9:00 pm My sister is also older (3 yrs) and she is genuinely happy for me, but I do think she is a bit (subconsciously) jealous but she is just very self centred in general. Don't get me wrong we get along great and she is always there when I really need her, but she just sometimes doesn't listen and rarely goes out of her way to do things if there is no benefit to her - like there was no point asking her to come to the garden show as even though she may have found it fun, it would have been too much effort so I to save disappointment I just went on my own I had fun though, didn't have to go to stands I wasn't interested in lol!!

Louis Pasteur Vegie garden: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27637&start=0 My Backyard Adventure Re: Building in Doreen..... 15Apr 13, 2009 11:40 am Just thought I'd pop in and say hi My husband and I have bought a block in Eminence, Doreen and are really looking forward to commencing building in the area later this year. He grew up in the west and I've spent my time in Melbourne in the east (although I'm originally from a small mining town in far west NSW), so when considering where to set up for good in Melbourne we thought we'd head up to the North, and so far, what a wonderful surprise the North has been We just think getting in now is such a great opportunity with all the development planned. We are just off Painted Hills Drive ( i think that's the right st name), so we should be about a 10min walk to the new town centre in Laurimer . Oh and just on the current topic of 'sisters'...I am on the same page, although my issue is a sister in law who I have stopped talking to about our build. Her and husband (my hubby's bro) built last year and every time I've mentioned anything about the build I've been tut-tutted about anything I think or plan to do/ask. As she only did it 12 months ago she now knows everything about building a home, so I just have to smile and listen like I have no idea how to do this myself Very frustrating. We have a house in Doreen. Built the PD Kensington 24 (with Alfresco & Rumpus option). We are in...Decorating in progress...pics to come soon... Re: Building in Doreen..... 16Apr 13, 2009 12:35 pm Just thought I would say hi! We are building in Doreen in the Laurimer estate and we expect the slab to be laid this coming week We are building in the Yangoora Wells release and we will only be arounfd 700metres from the shops going up there. It is nice to see lots of young people with young families building here just like us!!At least the kids will have others to play with when they are older. Anyhow nice to read your posts. It will be good to get to 'know' others building in the same area at the same time Re: Building in Doreen..... 17Apr 17, 2009 1:02 pm Hey guys just thought I would jump in here as well! My partner Steve and I are about to start building in Eminence estate in Doreen. We bought in stage 1 mid last year.. our block is a corner block directly opposit Graffs Park. We have signed contracts with Henley to build the Cooper with a few changes to the floor plan. Just waiting on the bank now to do the valuation and unconditionally approve the loan. Ont he sister topic. I have 2 sisters both older one nearly 3 years and the other nearly 6 years older. they have both been really good throughout this experience coming to display homes, looking at plans endlessly and giving opions they even call and ask whats happening up at the block and come up for drives even though I could imagine it would be boring to them! One built her house a few years ago so knows what its like and the other bought one last year but they both now want to build new ones after seeing whats out there lol... My future sister in law has been pretty good to she just gets annoyed when my partner doesn't let her know where we are up to...typical male... Well end my essay hope all goes well for you all and may eventually meet some of you!

Mine is yet to ask a single question about the block or the house... it's been 10 weeks now since we bought the block. go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 111010 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11198 |
