    My best bit was when the removal van had gone, and I bought back fish and chips from the chip shop.


    That first meal in our new house was the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life


    Hope it's all going well, Ed

    Our first meal was a pot of special fried rice from the chinese. Best I'd ever tasted sitting on the floor with a plastic takeaway pot and a fork in the middle of all the boxes. Hope it all goes well for you today.

    We are in our new house. It is quiet, cozy and wonderfully out-of-date.

    Vendor left us a bottle of chilled champagne :beer:

    Tired, happy, relaxed.

    Ps. Party was tomorrow, memory like a sieve...

    Well, I hope Ed realises I was only joking re. the '70's build. Seems some of you take some of my words far too seriously.

    Congratulations Ed. :)
