update

it has been a long time since i have even logged on here as everything has gone downhill and been very depressing.

since we have had the well redug, there was another issue with the water, the pipe going into the well had a split in it and the landlord told us to fix it ourselves, that took a few days and we were without water for that time too.

i have sold all the animals :-( and our lease has expired here. we are currently looking for a place to rent in town but that seems to be harder than it should.

we have been looking for about 3 weeks and still have only been able to have a look in one house. the agents don't seem to be too keen to let anyone have a look. you have to complete an application, including references, then they put you on a list for the houses you would like to see. when they have enough interest from other people they have an open house by invitation.

even though our application has been accepted by a few agents, there has only been one open house so far and this is starting to get depressing and stressfull all at the same time.

My days are now consumed by checking the net for new rental listings, sorting and packing our stuff, while at the same time looking after the kids. When i am too tired to do any of the above and the kids are in bed, i sit and knit.

i do have faith that the right place for us is out there, just need to wait for it.
