Seems to have been nowt but problems lately! First of all problems with the drains, presumably caused by previous tenant's misuse of the facilities. 2 visits from the Drain doctor though, and it is now finally sorted. Now I'm actually looking forward to hanging my washing out in the morning, (sad or what!) rather than swilling the yard down several times a day! My wickle wabbit can now come out of her hutch.. she must have been going stir crazy, lol!

Repair man came to fix the cracked front window, and in the process of putting the new double glazed unit in, managed to smash it! so now we have the window boarded up until the 2nd new unit is ready. wonder what people are thinking when they go past..."just moved in and already...

Moved to new house on 23rd October. Love it back down the bottom end. the neighbours actually speak to you, and it is so much quieter.

House needs quite a few jobs doing to it, but we are in, that's the main thing, and at least I know things are actually going to get done here. they have already done quite a bit. Finally got internet back on today, missed it so much for last 2 weeks, and not just for Accy web lol!

Main thing now is getting aerial sorted (Thursday), so we have TV downstairs, and waiting for landlord to put a gas point in the kitchen so I can use my oven again. Thought I was going to have to pay for that myself, but they are covering the cost. Have managed OK though, got a slow cooker, grill and such...but...

Just found out number 2 son (35) has to have an op on his thumb.

He sustained an injury about 18 months ago, due to a fall, (he was a bit tiddly, but what the heck)
He went to the hospital the day after it happened, but they said it probably wasn't broken. He went back a few days later, they said the same thing. Even though it was twice the normal size. Now after all this time and numerous consultations, he has recently found out that, yes it was... in fact the bones are shattered and floating around. He is now due to have an op within a few weeks. He will have pins put in the top half of his thumb, and it will be fused at the top joint. He will have to learn to write with it like that, as this is permanent. As if he doesn't...

Things coming together now. Picking the keys up at 9.30 Tuesday morning. Will be there waiting with a carload of stuff, and spend the day tooing and froing, getting as much in place as possible. Moving Wednesday or Thursday, depends when brother in law and van are available. May even stay overnight on the Z bed, lol!

Gonna be without internet for a while, till it gets sorted, but could always pop down the road and hijack my daughter's computer!

Lads are getting sorted now, just need their fish and tank collecting tonight.

Student finance finally sorted now, so should have some money in their accounts soon.

Who was it mentioned still cooking too much? Still doing it without thinking,...

Well, getting used to the emptiness and the quietness now. Been quite busy with everything, so suppose that's helped. Most of the lads' stuff has already gone down to Manchester, including some furniture, so by the time we have got rid of some more clutter, should be quite an easy move this time. Loads of boxes, bins and bags already packed & waiting to go as soon as we get the keys. Clearing out the shed will be the worst job, dread to think what's lurking in there! Getting the dog cage from KSH will make it easier transporting our 4 cats, they'll all fit in there. They are getting used to it in the living room at the mo, going in and out for cat treats. Had three of them sat in together at one stage so should be fine when they are moved....
