Sunny i bet you are busy planning I loved wedding planning when we were getting married.
We still have not heard anything so i am thinking it will be sometime next week and the move will be in April.
I had the tooth removed and it is slowly healing, still a little tender but nothing compared to the pain i did have!

Pinky the house really is gorgeous, i still can`t believe we have one!
A house like this was a dream to us and we would never of thought we would ever have one.
Yes wood flooring is so much more practical, we are not having carpets in the kids room either as when they are ill it is so hard to clean. We have picked out a vinyl for their rooms which looks like wood when it is laid.

Today we went shopping
I got a new kettle using the Argos vouchers i had so all we paid out was 89p:j Also got a pair of tall lamps for the lounge £11
Went to poundlound and got pk 6 tea towels, non slip bath mat, utensil caddy and a broom.
Found and a beech table and 4 faux leather chair set, everywhere i have looked has been much dearer then this one so we will be getting it. None in stock but lady said they had been ordered and she will have some in a couple of weeks.

*UPDATE* Just found a very similar one in Tesco direct and it is £30 cheaper and double clubcard points!!!


As a treat i popped into sainsburys and i got 4 brown faux leather table mats and 4 coasters to match came to £10!
I also have 4 faux leather napkin holders which i got 1/2 price from betterware :T SO thats the dining area sorted!!

Still not had a phone call or any letter so still playing the waiting game. The days seem so long, usually the weekends go so fast but the last dragged so much lol!

Dh finished work early today so after dropping DD off to nursery we went to Homebase. Couldn`t find a feature wallpaper for the lounge, their range was pretty small tbh.
I saw some crown paint which is easybreathe so will be getting that for the two childrens rooms. Fairy dust for DD and Powder blue for DS both in silk.

We popped down to see my parents this afternoon and as we were passing we pulled up at the house and the central heating vans were there and the doors were open on all 5 houses in the mews so maybe doing some work in them.
The houses have come along since we last saw they now have front steps, paths and the road has been cleared outside the mews!

DH contacted the LA and was told paperwork has been sent and we will hear from HA. SO..........still waiting.

We are really feeling down and can`t get excited about it yet! When will it be ours?!
It won`t seem real until we have the written confirmation and the keys.

There is so much to do we need to get cracking and can`t!! As we have never moved before we are worrying about everyhting gas/elec. water rates/tv licence.
I also am worrying as the van in laws are hiring, it can take up to a week to arrange, basically they have to pay by credit card and as they are far away it will be done by post women will send them documents and then in laws have to fill it in and send back GRRRR!!! We may be given a time span of when to move, lady we spoke too said HA like you to move in very quickly this will leave us with no van

Impatient is now the correct word! It is so hard knowing we are going but not being able to go yet! It would of been easier if they had sent a letter giving a date but nothing very unprofessional imo.

Still waiting....

This morning i got my £15 vouchers from Toluna:j
I can spend them in a new shop that has just opened called The Original Factory shop.
I went in there yesterday and got a pair of side curtains for £20, red lined with ring top - typical!!

Another long week gone, another long weekend ahead:rotfl:

This morning we recieved a letter about the house
We have the full address and it has now sunken in!!!!!:j:j

We have a home visit at this address on the 2nd, proposed tenancy start of the 12th, sign up a week prior to proposed tenancy... not sure what this means tbh
That is all the letter says so i`m assuming we will find out more on the 2nd.

SO now we are in the know, we are moving April appreox 2 weeks

We went shopping with my mum after a gorgeous roast cooked by my dad, and we got some bits and pieces all courtesy of mum:eek: (A pure diamond)
We got...
washing rotary line
Pegs, peg bag
Steam Iron
tea, coffee, sugar containers
mixing bowl
whisk, wooden spoons, sieve
new oven tray, 2 x pizza trays
baking tray, muffin tray
Can`t think what else for a minute.

We got it all in Wilkinsons and i did give mum my £15 vouchers i got from Toluna (I felt so guilty).
I saw so many nice things in there, i have never really been in there before before and will definately be going again!!

Mum is so good to us and really helps us out.
She even sent us home with tea for all of us so today has been a free day, no cooking or preparing food etc.

FORGOT TO ADD!!!
I got myself a little ironing job:T I am really happy every little helps
I will also be doing the ladies housework, i love cleaning so will really enjoy it! Biggest bonus is she lives round the corner to my parents so they can mind the children while i`m there

The stress is starting, but i wouldnt have it any other way!
I got a letter from the LA who owns the flat we are currently in, they have enclosed a form for us to fill in regarding moving out and handing keys over - WE HAVE NO DATE!

The HA who have offered us the house have sent a very understandable letter with no true date as to when we can move in! We want to do it in 1 day as we cant afford 2 lots of rent. As it is the HA want a weeks rent on the 5th April for the house we are not even in!

The school admissions need a copy of our new tenancy agreement so they can select my dd`s school - deadline for that 1 week!.

DH is going to call the HA when he gets home to sort out what is happening and try and get a fixed date. They are supposed to be coming on 2nd April to see us BUT that is a holiday?! So need to confirm that!
They also want references, photo id (i dont have) utility bill (we dont have as pay by dd) birthcertificates of children (all been packed away and now cant find the box grrr) see where i`m going with this??
