It would be wonderful if you could save to buy a house again, something with a small yard would be good for the girls. When they measure floor space here in the US they go by square feet... so I am not sure how large your current place is. I think a meter is close to the size of a yard (slightly less, but not much), with a yard being 3 feet long. So I multiplied by nine and came to about 621 square feet if it were measured as a yard. That is small for a family. >> >>I hope you can buy a house which would be bigger too! >> >>Yes, my health has been up and down alot.
