Dreams Shattered.

Ever have a dream that you've had for so long it's just part of your conciousness?

Mine was just shattered. Since I was 15 or so I have wanted a particular building in a the town I grew up in. I have told everyone about it - or so I thought - it seems mum didn't know. Anyway. The place went up for sale, and was sold yesterday. YESTERDAY~

What makes it hurt more is that it was affordable. To an extent - needed lots of work. But I have wanted it so much.... and now it has gone. I doubt it will be on the market again - at least for probably 10 - 20 years...

I think I could cry. This has been my dream property and just when I think we could afford something (with the bonus from the gov etc)... argh. I think I *will* cry.

This is it.

Bye Bye dream....

Due to a change in "stuff" the dream of buying a house - even just a cheap investment house in Macarthur - next year has basically gone away.

The way house prices are going now we will never afford to own, and I'll be in damn limbo forever.

It was basically next year or that's it. Well, it seems That's It.

Unless some very kind person at the wedding decides to gift us 20k or so (I know, you are rolling on the ground laughing too!) it is not going to happen.
