Have sort of crashed a bit. Haven't really been on net or looked at email for several days, kind of spinning through the day not taking much in, though did make the meeting with con-runners yesterday, which was great.
I have done a new budget, and it's kind of scary. Even with a $100K deposit, we may not be able to find an affordable house in Canberra! And the budget is a tight one, with about $600 put aside for a year's entertainment (eating out/movies/fairs, etc.), pretty much all the rest is covering bills of one description or another. Admittedly we've increased our shopping budget by $50 in preparation for Lex, but given our current shopping budget has been $75 for the last ten years, I think it was about time anyway. There is currently no budgeted money for con-going, though what we're hoping is that profits from the business will help with that.
Will probably be heading down to Melbourne in the next week or two to finalise a few odds and sods. My camera hasn't been letting me download pictures onto the computers, hence no trip shots yet. Am currently sorting through photos for a couple of different projects. Have written a new Love & Hate post, though want to get another one or two up my sleeve before posting.
Oh, and it's Guttermonkey's Birthday! Hope you have a great one, my friend! And a good birthday, too.
Have just finished downloading the first episode of Season Four of New Who, and will watch it very shortly.

Drhoz and I need to sit down and do a new budget. We're looking at least Drhoz's pay going straight onto the house.

On the plus side, the market is starting to hiccup. Some houses have come down $100K over the last few months. It's plausible that prices will continue to come down, or at least stabilise for a while, allowing us time to save up more of a deposit.

We hadn't actually mentioned Alexander's name before this post, we only just found out he was a he. Of course he may pop out and we'll take a look and say, "Oh, he's not an Alexander, he's a Norman." So we'll have to wait and see whether he stays Lex.
My previous fill-in name was Frank, until I put two and two together and will avoid that as a name at all costs.
