AND THE TABLE

Finally the table arrived too, wrong one but it arrived, I think the right one will be here in a few weeks from Ireland! It sort of the same only a little bigger. I must write down all the things that went wrong and didn't fit, I might run out of paper! But We do love the table so really looking forward to getting the right one.

ITS ALL ARRIVING!

And then the stairs turned up too....they don't fit but they are here! all in jigsaw bits....they will have to be cut by hand and eased in, I think its going to take a long long while!!

YIPPEE DO

Finally a cup of tea in our new house, after the fiasco over the kitchen and utility, we finally got our utility in and didn't waste a moment in bringing the kettle in to make a cuppa, even though we are going up and down a metal nobly ladder to get to it! There is still a lot to do, architraves, skirting's etc etc but we have a utility, while we wait a few weeks and hopefully not months for our kitchen!

PROTECTIVE OVER NEW BEDS!

Now the dogs are in their new bedroom or other words our utility they just don't want to get out of bed!

I THINK THEY WANT TO MOVE!

Shadow was sitting on her seat in the conservatory, she sometimes sits there for hours just looking... I tried to take them down through the field through the house and they sat and looked at me like I was mad or something...it was like..."No" we live in the other bit now!

LAZY GEM!

Gem is a real baby, she doesn't think she is a dog, she loves her cuddles, except if the other two are misbehaving and then you certainly know who is boss!!

RALLY STEVE

For Steve's 16th birthday we got in a ha;f race day at the Subaru rally experience. Laura met us there too I thought it was on her way home but it was near Chippenham!, she lives at uni at Chichester..not sure I was that popular , especially s she had a car full of uni stuff to bring home oh and Munchie the hamster!!! But we met up and Steve showed his true driving expertise. He hasn't driven before, well not really, Pete did let him have a go in our new car when Steve was 14, with no tuition, ...and I don't want to repeat what happened but the outcome wasn't good, I still even now can't believe Pete would do that,...but he did! Anyway, the only tuition he has had was me showing him the gears in the died in the truck, so we were a bit apprehensive, especially when Steve asked "Do you think I can  make the instructor scream!?" But Steve did really really well, he drove around the circuit at quite a speed and after a hour or so, he was a natural. I think he has the racing bug now though! He had a certificate and I took a few videos to remember it by, he also had a racing round as a passenger with at competition speed which was really great...But well done Steve XX

CATS HAVE NEW BEDS

The cats have moved in and boy do they love it here, in front the balcony windows in their new fluffy homes which me and Laura got in the sale so saved us a bit of money...funny pete doesn't see it that way ...odd!!?? very odd!

THEN IT DID

And then the cats jumped int he self levelling screed, dear of them eh!!

CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?

First with Steve and then the kitchen and the lintel, wrong table, delayed doors, oh and didn't tell you about the staircase, thats late now too as they are having problems with it and it will have to be sawn and fitted quite extensively on site now...which will be a real headache for craig and Pete!...oh and chairs that should have been in transit...arent...so awaiting them next week too and so it goes on etc etc......Now this morning it started with Dale telling me the utility has now been delayed its still in Ireland! So won't be fitted tomorrow , surprise surprise!! it will be next week, so we are still ages away from a cup of tea in the Mill!!...The kitchen has now been reordered and will hopefully arrive as soon as possible but its looking like 5 weeks or so unfortunately! Then after a bit of a day I opened the post and was excited to have a parcel only to open it and be covered in paint....the samples had come for the kitchen but had all spilt in transit ....now its all over me...what a day, surely its got to get better???
