Preparing for the biggest move of our life

bellevie

Thank you both 😊
We completed yesterday collected the keys by 11!!!

We are 90 % moved in, I need to empty the fridge freezer when the new one is delivered today bring a few plant pots back. The remainder of the garden furniture wise will need to wait until DH can come back over with me so one evening or next Saturday latest.

So much to do here, so glad I booked the week off!!

How is the new house looking?

bellevie

It's quite a mess at the minute we've only got essentials out but it's great to have so much more space 😊 

We are making a start on electrics tomorrow DH thinks he and his friend will have it done in a week. When that's done we can unpack a little more. We won't unpack fully until carpets are down so likely to be living out of boxes for quite a while!!

So happy to be here, still a bit of a daze, our own house!!

Its been a week of craziness.
Electrics all done, complete rewire in 4 days! DH and his electrician friend worked solidly to be fair, and they both said they walls were far better than they expected them to be which made things a lot easier. I was warned about the dust, but my goodness was I glad when the end of the week came, I have never seen so much in my entire life!

Over the next few weeks we will start to strip the wallpaper and paint, in no rush to do this though as we are quite undecided on decor so will just be starting with a coat of white for now - whatever colour will choose will be light anyway I'm not a fan of overly dark rooms, I find my mood is too easily affected.

I've set up my mortgage account.....it really is quite scary seen that amount of debt in our names, I'm keen to start overpayments asap though they are likely to be small to start with every little will help!

When I have thought up of a diary name, I figured this is an apt time to start afresh on the mfw board...the biggest move....is now complete
