Ugh, opening up a can of expensive worms here:
1. Renovated backyard ($60000)
2. Kitchen renovation ($30000)
3. Painting inherited from DH's mum ($10000 approx)
4. Battle between fridge and lounge suite (each cost somewhere between $6000-$7000)
Pushing it's way in at No. 3 (in Feb '06) will be the frontyard renovation at about $35000. Thank goodness the "Money Pit" will be finished then and we can concentrate on enjoying it all
