A time to rent, a time to buy...

And, as we are not prepared to dedicate 50% of Chris's salary for a scungy house or dodgy neighbourhood, we shall rent for 3 years, save up hard then use my kiwisaver funds for a deposit. Looking at properties in the past few weeks has been an eye opener. We need a minimum 300k mortgage to get a decent property in an ok part of town....on one income that's just too hard but in three years we can get by for another year til I work.

In other, happier, news the Gruffalo stage show is coming back to New Zealand. K loved it so much I will take him again....Cameron too. And best news of all? The Auckland West show is opposite the library at the Glen Eden Playhouse - I am so excited. Roll on August 20th!!!
