move house

Four people, two bedrooms – our house is back on the market!

phew.

BashfulC worked his arse off doing most of move and clean up of our old house almost on his own. As much as I wanted to help, I have really been in severe pain with my pelvis and there was no chance of my doing anything. As it was, I went shopping on the move day with a friend, and managed to really hurt myself… all I was doing was carrying Oren about and loading him/his buggy in and out of a car a few times, but I could barely walk when I got home.

The house is beautiful, we have the essentials unpacked and in, and are waiting on some bookcases and other storage bits and pieces to be able to get the last boxes unpacked.

I already feel so much happier here. I have been out with Oren for walks the last two days, and generally been working around the house trying to get things sorted.

It has been a tricky week, as Oren’s routine was thrown way off with the move, and he has been a grumpy sod all week. Managed to break that last night/this morning and have got him almost back to his normal routine, which had an immediate impact on his demeanor today.

Well Week on and I still Ache!!!!

Move went smoothly althoughb next days cleaning old house to make sure we got deposit back was a killer. I feel so at home in our new house already, it feels so right and so us.

Although we still have alot of sorting out ahead of us MsM has been busy all week geting it liveable and homely :-)

It is so lovely to have the space we have and i cant wait to get home each night. Oren seems to be finally settling in as well, although he has given MsM a hard week as all his schedules went to pot.

Cant wait to we get it just they way we want it with everything stored away just know we have made the right move. Looking forward to the summer in our new home :-)

we’re in… but we have no internet… will update with proper entries as soon as we up and running again…. argh 43t withdrawal symptoms!!!

A day of packing and my back is killing me. We have managed to pack most of the house up today. EWarly start tomorrow with some friends coming over to help load and move about 8am so hopefully will all go smoothly :-)

Then sunday and monday the crap days as we have to clean our old house top to bottom. Got to do it to very high standard so we give them no excuse to with hold any of our deposit :-(

cant wait to be settled in our new house going to be wonderful family home

Well tonight is the last night that we will sleep in Brimstone Cottage, our current home.

We are moving to a really lovely new home, but there are some good memories here, and I feel it right to honour Brimstone by just naming a few.

• Some really lovely evenings just spent in the house listening to music and drinking pink champagne in the early days, where BashfulC and I just got to know each other.

• BashfulC proposed to me in the front garden of Brimstone in August 2007.

• Both our children were conceived here

• We had a really great Engagement fancy dress party here in October 2007

• Brimstone was Oren’s first home, he came here for the first time on the 1st June 2008 and I have some lovely memories of his first days & weeks here. Oren also had his first Christmas here.

• We had a great conker weekend in 2008, with friends coming over to visit and a lovely BBQ in the garden – I felt really happy at at peace with things.

... so just a few nice thoughts to rest on as we move on to our new home. A lot of good things did happen here, and I hope our next home has a lot of good memories (and less bad ones!) too.

found moving that stressful, and I have moved A LOT. I must have moved about 10 times in the last 10 years. However trying to get stuff packed up with a 6 month bump, a really dodgy pelvis which is excruiciatingly painful at times, and a 9 month old boy crawling around under my feet and using me as a climbing frame is certainly making this move a lot more stressful!! I am not coping well with not being able to just get on and DO.

And just to top it all off, today I look in the mirror and I find my first ever grey hair!!!!! I am only 28 – but obviously the strain of a kid a bump and a move is going to turn me grey prematurely!

Oh roll on Monday when all the packing, moving and cleaning will be done!!

Our upright piano was delivered this morning!!

I do have a photo but have left required cable for uploading at the new house… so watch this space tomorrow!

It is amazing to have our own piano to play on, and it fits perfectly in our entrance hall just next to the window seat :o) I cant wait to find some music so I can start to relearn.
