Another 25 emails gone, so down to just 200 now 😂

Book finished and ready to leave - will probably take it to the village book exchange tomorrow so it doesn’t hang around.  Must be firm with self and not bring any more home as I have plenty plus a couple on order at the library.

A slow day yesterday and all I achieved was to make an even bigger mess.  So today’s priority is to finish some of the things I started this week before attempting anything else.

Well, would you look who is back!

 The internet chap has been and sorted us out this morning.

Hugs and kisses as appropriate and belated Birthday wishes too. xxx

Day 8 in the house, we like it, we have no regrets about moving. Of course there was drama and mild peril on moving day, but we are here, in a complete mess but here.

At risk of outing somebody, the house is MINGING, much worse than expected. With the help of DD1 the upstairs was completely bleached. The mouldy and rusty blinds and minging bathroom things left behind have all gone to the tip. I have spent this week getting the bedrooms organised. All our clothes put away in the freshly bleached built in wardrobes. The kitchen has never been cleaned since it was installed I think. I have been cleaning the cooker ( top only ) for 2 days, still not clean. Thankfully she took the fridge with her.
 As moving day ended up being like a carry on film The dining room is stuffed with the contents of the sheds, random furniture and goodness knows what else. When I have finished scrubbing the kitchen that is my next task to sort that out.
 So the sitting room is calm, the upstairs is calm. The hall has an oak door and a massive tool chest in it plus some drawers that Mr V has renovated which are for the dining room when we can get in it.

As well as a car full for the tip I have sold the storage bench that I renovated, given away some mid century drawers that I CBA to renovate and given away a left behind blanket chest and ceiling pulley airer thing. Another ceiling thing being collected next week. For the chazzer some decent, washed net curtains ( not mine) a couple of hall runners, two pairs of curtains and a black bag of cushions, none mine. Oh, I sent two cushions that I made to the good chazzer, they had been on the storage bench.

We went to Oxford yesterday to meet the new baby. All's well. He still looks like he's had a good holiday after his jaundice. Dil is doing really well.

DD1 is going down today to go to the rugby with DS and DGS 1 at Wembly. She is at a wedding next weekend. I have got her pencilled in to do some decorating after that! My time up ladders is over.

We are hopefully picking up a second hand fridge today, ooo the excitement.
