Our house
Got the keys to our house on 10/11/2009, all becomes so real when I was driving to the estate agent to pick up the keys at about 2pm. It's officially winter but I didn't know how to switch on the gas/ radiator and electricity/ light. As we bought 2 reclining armchairs the weekend before and they were due for delivery at 4pm in the new house, I waited in the cold new house with my jacket on all the time (Sam was in meeting, thus unable to help me!!).

We decided to stay in the new place without bed, furniture, etc as Sam's monthly train ticket runs out the following day and my work place is nearer from the new house. We brought duvets, clothing from the old place, so managed to sleep with bare minimum stuff (no TV) for about a week until the movers arrive to pick up our things from old place on 19/11/09.

Had been busy shopping for furniture for the new place. We decided on the Ikea furniture (wardrobes, TV unit, bed frame) and had fixed up the furniture ourselves (That's an achievement!!). So far, we had been buying stuff for the new place (change locks, kitchen bin, etc, still more to buy!!), gone back to old place to tidy up, return the keys for old place on 11/12/09. All so busy, thus the lack of update.

Still to sort out the lowering of kerb for parking,

Interior is still a mess, thus no picture!!!

Bought the biggest cage for the guinea pigs as it's winter and they can't go out in the garden.
