Yay – builders are here

Monday November 9th, 2009 | Fiona

Hard to believe that it’s over a week since I updated here, but at last I have scheduled time to sit down and update it… We have had a few events since my last update – we had some fun with the rain on Sunday 1st November – the word someone used on Twitter summed it…

Settling in

Saturday October 31st, 2009 | Fiona

Well, things have settled down a bit now, with a little routine starting. Although we had our friends stay for the weekend, it was a relaxing visit – apart from poorly children (and dogs!). It was great to spend some uninterrupted time with them and have them relax as much as they said they did……

Hello from Wales or Hello o Gymru (I think!)

Friday October 23rd, 2009 | Fiona

Where to start? We have now been in our new house in Wales for over a week – and what an eventful week its been… To start, I will finish off where we left – the removers were unable to fit everything into the lorry… so my worst concerns were realised. They seemed to load…

Two more sleeps

Monday October 12th, 2009 | Fiona

I cannot believe how much stuff we have… we ran out of boxes yesterday, so I am going to removers first thing this morning to collect more. As you can imagine, my concerns about the lorry not being able to hold everything have increased! At least the way they are collecting (house first, then storage) means that…

Time goes too quickly

Friday October 9th, 2009 | Fiona

It’s amazing how quickly time goes by when you have a deadline to do things… I realise I have done a lot of moves at work, even moving my own office! However, when it’s your own house, and you are moving a little further than down the road, it seems to magnify. Sadly, I ended…

Long awaited pictures

Monday October 5th, 2009 | Fiona

Thought it was about time I added a photo of the house – its one which shows the entrance and our very own ford!! Also, a picture of the two dogs – not exactly happy to pose yet, but they are really cute! The black and white one is Beau and the brown and white one is Bonnie…

Penultimate step…

Sunday October 4th, 2009 | Fiona

Well, I am glad to report that we have finally exchanged. This happened late on Friday, when we were heading to Wales… a quick call to the removal firm to confirm the date was still OK for them to move us, and we were on our way. The completion date is going to be 14th…

Another milestone

Friday October 2nd, 2009 | Fiona

Well, things are taking their own sweet time… we signed the contracts on Tuesday – so, another milestone reached. We hoped that meant we would be exchanging on the house purchase Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. The delays are related to our buyers, who are waiting for probate to be sworn in (I think…

On tenterhooks…

Monday September 21st, 2009 | Fiona

It’s amazing how long a fairly straightforward process can be extended and lengthened by the vagaries of house-buying… did that make sense even? As you can probably tell we’re still waiting to exchange – although we are hopeful it will be this week. We went back up over the weekend, meeting another builder-type for groundwork…

The packing begins

Sunday September 13th, 2009 | Fiona

So, we collected the boxes required for our move on Friday and headed to the storage unit to sort out the stuff which was not in boxes – we had a lot when we de-cluttered the house when we put it on the market – which we thought would not take long. Well, we were…
