New Year: New Home!

New Year's Eve was fantastic: on the beach at Mooloolaba, watching the fireworks, eating snacks and enjoying the entertainment... great end to the year.
Since then: its been EXHAUSTING! We moved on the 5th of January to the lovely little town of Eumundi, with population of around 2000, just half an hour up the road from Mooloolaba and 15 mins from Noosa :)
The moving day itself went incredibly well with so much help from very good friends: we naively thought that we would be able to do it ourselves: not to be.
We actually kept the other house in Mountain Creek for a week, so I could go in and clean it up, in anticipation of receiving the full bond. I HAVE NEVER WORKED SO HARD IN MY LIFE! I have cleaned, vacuumed, polished, swept and mopped with a vengeance all week in heat-wave conditions... we finished yesterday at 7pm and have passed the keys back, awaiting the inspection with bated breath.
I am unable to find anything just yet in our new home: including my mobile telephone! I have tried 'phoning my number but to no avail.  It's definitely not in our old house so I still haven't given up hope of finding it.  We haven't had internet access either so it's been like living in the twilight zone! Thankfully, our internet has been sorted today and we won't have to pay any fees for getting out of the previous contract with the supplier either: bonus :)
Loving the new house... we're still renting, although we've already met the owner (whose sister lives one side of us and his parents the other), and he's intimated that he wants to sell it: I am going to persuade Jeff to buy the place, as it means I would get out of the Bond clean at the end of the tenancy.
