Woohoo, we are home

We officially got the keys to our house on Friday, and with help from my parents moved in yesterday! It has been a long wait, and we are so excited to be back. The carpet is in, the new fridge freezer has been delivered and is sat in our brand new kitchen.

The dishwasher did not turn up though, so we have to wait until next Saturday, muppets. The washing machine is arriving tomorrow. We have loads of sorting out to do, as per every move, but already this place feels like home. It is redecorated brand new all downstairs, and we are very pleased with it.

Just got to finish sorting stuff a bit more this week, and then hopefully we can have some friends round to celebrate getting back in!

Oh, don't order a dining table from Homebase, we thought we had a good one, but had to take two back, and then when we tested the display model, it was broken too!!! We wasted such a large amount of time when we were supposed to be moving house.

Catch up blog, house, dogs, work

Life has been busy, we are all over the place at weekends visiting, and basically it makes life difficult when you work fullltime during the week and evenings. To get some quality of life back I think we are going to have to be ruthless, and spend some time in our rented house (although we don't much like it) at weekends.

Which brings me on to progress with our actual house. Well since the builders ripped its guts out and declared it dry approximately September 14th ish, they have done, exactly, wait for it......... NOTHING!!!!! Which means we will not be back in until late January at the earliest. Needless to say, we are both a bit down about this. Apparently they are starting the plastering this week, woohoo.

So on to more positive things, I really enjoyed visiting home the other weekend, to see how my parents new black labrador pup Bonny is growing and changing, she is massive now, but so cute, and everything she does is slow motion. She uses her size advantage against Bella their two year old Jack Russel. See some puppy photos here.

On another positive note, I am through my probation period in my new job, and although it is hard work, I enjoy the nature of the work, and feel I am getting the sort of respect I have been working for.

Hopefully the next time I blog more positive news on the house.

Our little house has been declared dry, woohoo!

Nicky and I got the news on Friday.. our house is now dry. That means that the surveyor can draw up a schedule for the rebuilding works, and we have been given a provisional in before Christmas date for getting back home.

The rented accommodation is ok, but we are excited about finally getting to live in the house we worked so hard for.

We are already planning what we are going to do with the place.

Now if I could just get some kind of a lifestyle back and get this insanely demanding project at work finished!!!!
