Gorgeous. The villa in the country was nothing short of fantastic, and everything that Cheryl had ever dreamed of. It had class, character, style, space. Ticked all the boxes. However, how could she ever meet the $800,000 asking price? It was situated in one of Auckland's leafy suburbs and the demand for such homes were high. Cheryl did not want to have to settle for a home in the hinterlands or some dumpy do-up just so she could say she owned it...yet barring some miracle, there was no way on earth she could ever own this, or most likely, anything remotely like it.
The Auckland property market had gone nuts, and like many of her friends, Cheryl had totally missed the boat. Damn it. The bank would loan her only up to $400,000, and that had been a push. Still, she knew she was lucky to have been offered even that. It was all very well to dream...(to be continued)...

New name, new post, new President?
This is my first post in ages, just lost interest for a long while. Let's say, life got busy. Things are more settled now, thank goodness.
Have decided to rename this little-followed blog. Having voted for the Key government in 2008, I could kick myself. Overall, I am very disappointed with Key's performance and I'm surprised at how weak he and National as the govt have been, in all areas, from justice to social welfare. Also, Key comes across as too popularity focused, rather than focused on what's best for NZ.
Colin Craig comes across well, and I like what I see of the Conservative Party. Will be interesting to see what happens in 2014. I also think that David Cunliffe does a good job, and would make an excellent leader for Labour.
I am hoping for a Romney win today, but somehow, believe he will not quite get in...fingers crossed though. Roll on 2014...hoping to see a new PM for Godzone.
