@Taureg. Oh, but I do! Space Sydney is mere blocks from my office. Thanks, Apartment Therapy.

Ugh, this is so depressing. The ability to own a home in Sydney is becoming increasingly difficult. My husband and I are hoping to start a family soon and I don't know how we are going to be able to afford a family home (even on our admittedly comfortable incomes). I love Sydney and wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but 2 bedroom apartments in the areas we like start at half a million dollars! Seriously unaffordable! Whatever we buy we will have to compromise on either size or location (or both), and that makes me sad :-(

I'm not sure that you have to displace the microwave to accommodate the toaster oven. Like @ciddyguy suggests, keeping appliances stored in cupboards and only taking them out when you need them would work best. So I'd suggest leaving the microwave where it is and only bringing the toaster oven out when you use it (which may not be more than once a week). We keep our blender and toaster in the cupboard and our microwave on top of the fridge. Works well.

Boy do I need to adhere to this list. I'm always caught vacuuming in my PJ's as guests show up.

It's spring down under so it's so nice to be able to open up the windows, let some fresh air in, and clean clean clean! Yesterday I did a big clean and it felt so good.

Just got done cleaning the house and I feel so much less stressed! Am now relaxing with a glass of wine and enjoying the cleanliness. The only thing that would make it better is if our vacuum wasn't broken. Sweeping the carpets just doesn't cut it. :-(

Count me in as a llama llover!
