    Ooh thanks guys :D:o

    Well, I'm at work and need to go in a second, but I thought I'd just come and say, we're in! :j :j :j LOTS of unpacking and sorting to do (how did we ever get so much stuff?!) but house is lovely :) and both me and DH think we'll be very happy there :)

    I'll do a better update in a bit! x

    Phew! Had to go to a meeting but back now :)

    So, house! It's lovely :) the kitchen is definitely going to be my favourite place, I have a range cooker :D and it's nice and cosy. I'm going to be on the hunt for a small table to go in there, and it'l be perfect!

    There are things that need sorting and painting and general sprucing up, but that can be done over time. The main thing that needs to be done at the moment is unpacking and sorting! I've done most of the main bedroom and the kitchen is pretty much done. The living room still has a few boxes in it, as does the small dining room. The spare bedroom is FULL of stuff :o that will take a bit of time to go through and sort and find places for. I'm going to try and have a sort out and either sell/chuck some things, as we can't possibly need all of that stuff!

    Ooh, and it's quite sad how excited I am about this, but we have a dishwasher! :D:D
