We are in our new home and I love it already. Of course,there are the usual bits and pieces that you realise once you have moved in... kitchen really is little, there's a broken bit on the bath, the front door doesn't have a number and there is no doorbell but I don't care. I feel so at home here already. It's wonderful.
I got home at 8.30 am on Friday morning and the removal men were already waiting for us. What a great bunch of lads. They worked incredibly hard all day long and did a fantastic job. They dismantled furniture and put it all back together again when we got in at the other end,they were polite, considerate and tidy! The house was all packed into a van two and a half hours later and they set off to our new home.
Of course, there was a little last minute drama with the finances but it was all fairly smooth running and we picked up the keys at 2pm. The removal guys unpacked and had gone by 5pm and that was it. We were in, surrounded by boxes and mayhem, but we were finally in and it felt great.
Hubby had to go back to work at 4pm and didn't get back until about 11pm and I was up on Saturday at 6am to go to do my early shift. I knew we weren't going to see much of each other but this is getting ridiculous.
Anyway, I came home from my Saturday shift and hubby literally went off to work as I came in and then didn't get back until gone 10 last night. This morning he has gone off already (7am) and is picking the dog up on his way home at 3pm and then I'm off to do a night shift tonight. It's all becoming a little fraught as we don't seem to be living in the same house at the moment and tempers at frayed due to tiredness but things will settle down. It was always going to be like this to start with.
My stupid cold is starting to wear me down a bit. My ears and jaws ache and my throat is sore. I think I just need a bit of a rest and a decent meal as we have been living off of junk/convenience food for the last week.We don't have any TV connection at the moment and so I've been listening to music on my laptop and watching DVDs too. Last night I watched Disney's Aladdin followed by My Boy Jack starring Daniel Radcliffe as Rudyard Kipling's son who was killed in World War 1. Both films moved me... Aladdin because it underlined the true genius of the late Robin Williams and My Boy Jack because it is based on a true story and also because today is Remembrance Sunday which is especially poignant this year as it's the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1. I shall, as ever, be wearing my Poppy with pride.
Well that's probably enough from me for now. I need to unpack more boxes and go for a drive and try to find the nearest supermarket. I may seek out a Remembrance Day event locally and, as it's not raining , I am going to investigate the garden which I haven't looked at yet! Sleep also sounds like a good idea.
Thank you to everyone who has sent us good wishes and cards. We really do appreciate it and we hope some of you will be able to come and say hello if you're passing this way sometime. It would be a pleasure to see you.
Much love
