So, I decided half way through last weekend to just move into the new house rather than make a gradual transition over the next couple of weeks. It was too exciting to leave our new house empty and sleep in the rental. The kids slept in the new house on Saturday and Sunday (Andrew having the head start as Evie was at a sleep over at a friends house.). We have had a number of firsts - first sleep, first wall painted, first bath, first meal, first piece of mail etc.
Its chaos - no time even to download photos for this blog entry and we cannot find anything. I am also moving campuses at work so my life at both ends is about boxes and packing tape. This week, we have moved a load of boxes in the house, put in a modified planning application for a flatter garden, installed a mailbox (in order to receive said first piece of mail). The driveway man will be starting this week and then we hope to complete most of the landscaping. The heating has been installed and hoorah Foxtel is coming tomorrow to install an unseemly, ugly but nonetheless very welcome satelite dish on the top of our house. Welcome back Downton Abbey.
Steve got his own way and ordered his leather corner sofa. Sometimes its easier just to cave. We had some contingency left over and he spent some of it on his much desired sofa although it was in a sale and not purchased from the man with the vulgar watch and ridiculous sports car. Should be here in 3 months (need 3 or 4 cows to be born, grow enough to be slaughtered for the sofa presumably).
Anyway, much progress this week and we have hopefully transferred the rental to a family from Birmingham (small world eh?).
