Default Hello from Gollygar!

Now before I introduce myself, I thought I'd better explain my username. When my son was around 18 months old, he was fascinated with the moon and the stars. This one particular night, we took him outside to see the full moon and his awestruck reply was "ooh gollygar". And this is what he has called the moon for many months afterwards. Cute hey?

As for me, I am a Mum of two youngsters - a 6yo and a 3yo. We live in the glorious city of Canberra and have done for over ten years now. Originally from Sydney but husband convinced me to move here. We bought a big home on a big block for not much more than the cost of the tiny unit I sold in Sydney. Our house is a definite '70's decorator special which we're doing our best to drag kicking and screaming into the 21st Century. I'm a Stay At Home Mum so find myself coming up with ideas almost daily (poor husband).

I've been looking for a forum where I can chat with other keen renovators and stumbled on this site via a Better Homes and Gardens Facebook page. Can't wait to start chatting.

Cheers for now,
Helen.

Oh that is so cute.
What an incredible difference in housing prices. You are lucky that your hubby could move his work there. My son wants us to move to Canberra (he wants to be a politician) but it is the 1 city my DH couldn't find work in.
Your house sounds like it has heaps of potential.

I hope you enjoy chatting with us all here- we do enjoy a good chuckle whilst we are decorating
