This is the end of your life as you know it ... until you have kids. ;)

Nice, Grats on the purchase, big step, much better than renting and like Marty says, end of life... but then we're off to sydney in 3 weeks, and then most likely christchurch / queenstown later in the year aswell... LOL

My house for those that haven't seen it is on my bebo.... evotaz.bebo.com - there will be photos up next week once we've moved in and are all setup.
