Just doing assignments. Java is due on Wednesday, and Data Procassing Systems is due next monday (not tomorrow). Interview is still on for Thurday.

When I Get This Job I can lok at buying my own home. Unfortunately, the house I want to buy is going up for auction in November. I'll miss out on it.

I'm a bit sad about that.

Woah! Nice place! November, you say? Hmmmm...

Same lottage as I'm sitting in the middle of now, but much nicer surroundings and more reliable weather. :>

ahhh, just remember one thing batty...

Auction != Sale.. just cos it's up for sale, doesn't mean it will be sold by that date.

unless there is a very high intrest in such things.

Yes, but it's in Dubbo, with is a great town to come from.

I saw that, and I've no doubt it is... I'm pretty partial to the whole island.. Never have forgiven my parents for chosing -not- to move there when they had the opportunity when I was either quite small or still a glimmer in Dad's eye.

Oh very nice, the house I want to buy goes up for auction in 2 weeks time, and unless I win Lotto either this week or next week I wont be able to buy it, i'm a lot sad about that

Yow, nice split level there!:) Whatcha gonna graze on it? Or is Scruffy going to get to have it easy in his old age? If I ever win the Powerball I'm gonna have a house all right.

Nice house! Nicer looking than mine even :P Lot more land too!

I hope you are able to get it somehow!

Wow, what a cool place.....too bad you'll miss your opportunity.
It already looks like a sanctuary for bats........is there a sicamore tree in the back yard?
And what price range does a lot like that start at? In Canadian funds?
Can't wait to see your next choice....I am going to start living my homeowning
life vicariously through you. Hope you don't mind!!

There aren't many trees at all around it. If I bought the place I'd use the 68megalitre irrigation allowance to establish a wetlands and to grow the river red-gums that should be there.

It could go for AU$500k (US$250,000ish) except it's on a flood plain. The last floods here reached 3/4 up the ground floor. That will bring the price down a bit.

I don't know what the reserve is, so if the bidding doesn't reach that the sale won't go through. Even so, it could be sold before I save up a deposit.
