I may or may not have mentioned cleaners
Just pace yourselves now.
You're in - its onwards and upwards now, doesn't matter if you take a day or two to just smell the roses.
I truly believe houses 'feel' right or they don't and you get that feeling seconds after walking in and not after a lengthy practical pros and cons analysis. You do need both things but the first makes it a home no matter what the snags are.5 -
Funnily enough, I said that to DH the other night - we never made a pros and cons list with this house, and it was only after we had actually bought it we checked it off against the list of stuff we didn't like about our old house, whereas with the one in the summer, we had to keep going through that to justify it to ourselves as it was literally maxing us out which we just never felt comfortable with.warby68 said:I may or may not have mentioned cleaners

You have enough to do without worrying about new diaries just yet. Hope you don't get many more problems. We had loads like dodgy wiring but we love our house so worth the hassle.Dedicated Debt Free Wanabee 🤓

I’m so happy to hear you so happy! As you say there will be lots of work and chaos (and how could they fail to mention such a big thing as half the heating not working?!) but it’s so good to know you’re home at last.Debt at LBM (Dec 2018): £23,167

I am so glad you have moved in and are enjoying your new home. Can you send the bills for fixing the heating to your sellers - or do you just claim on the house insurance ?

Fantastic that you are in your new home. Hopefully spring is just around the corner and you can enjoy the outdoor space too.
hope DC feels better soon. Typical of a cat to find the warmest cosiest spot to claim for themselves.3 -

So lovely to have everyone back together in the new home.
Cat is very chill, my dog didn't speak to me for a fortnight after going in kennels when we moved.3 -
Ours would be the other way round. Dog would just be glad to be home and grateful.
Pusscat would be like :how dare you leave me! growl, bum in air, walk off.
