Today is April Fools' Day, and it's been 3 weeks since my last post. During these 3 weeks, we managed to sell our flat, then the buyer defaulted and withdrawed his offer, and we had to remarket the flat again and finally today we settled another offer, which is a little lower than the first offer but still a good price. Finally I've got one item off my list and saving me trips to and fro home to entertain the agents and potential buyers coming to view our flat.

As for the interior designer for our new flat, we've managed to narrow down to 2 of them and will be working with them for a final quotation for comparison and deciding who to award the project to. It's like a dream finally coming true, and with us closer and closer to our dream haven finally materializing. How very exciting and i can't wait to see how our dream home will become!

Money is tight nowadays and we really need to do a lot of planning with the reno coming on. We've really gotta tighten our belts and get ourselves to be prepared for rainy days and carefully work out our expenses. Hubby hasn't been really happy at work with his increasing work responsibilities as well as frequent travelling. He's been travelling almost every other week and it's taking a toll on his health. I'm really glad I made the decision to stay home and look after the kids, allowing him to focus on his work with the assuarance that I'll be here to take care of things, but also on the other hand, it really makes me feel bad to burden him financially. Sometimes, you just cannot have your cake and eat it too. I guess certain sacrifices will have to be made if you wanna achieve your goal in life. It's really not easy for me too as the job of a SAHM is really many many times more tiring mentally and physically than working. At least you can keep your sanity at work versus pulling your hair out trying to teach your preschooler mathematics at home while the baby is on your lap and toddler crying in the background. I am so looking forward to the day they'll be independent and I can sit down and take a breather to drink a cuppa tea without interactions!
