Buying the dream?

We've been hoose hunting. No not because we're still scared of the ghost. She (am convinced it's a sweet old aussie lady who just wants to get on with her knitting!) has been fairly quiet since I asked her to be nice or I would take steps to remove her! Dave and I want to buy a place (eek) of our own. The aussie dream is to build your own place with ensuites and walk in robes, a theatre room, activities room and room for a pool. Whilst we can afford this, we would have to live so far out of Perth we wouldn't be able to send for pizza! So we're back to square one looking at older houses slightly closer to civilisation.

My favourite so far has to be the house which looked like a galleon ship on the inside. It had sloping ceilings, sunken lounges, an abundance of wood pannelling and a pot bellied fire in the family room (two living rooms, why?). The piece de resistance was the spa in the back garden. It was also sunken into the ground with a tres seventies style frog sitting on a rock spitting water down a waterfall into the spa. Tiled into the spa was the phrase 'good ere init'.

That settles it. A janner spa for a janner bird. It must become mine?
