Moving House - Episode Two

Four simple steps for a sofa.

Where's the fun in going into a shop, picking out a sofa and getting it delivered within the week fully built and ready to sit on.

We always have to do things slightly different to others and because of this we bought a Nabru sofa. Check out their website www.nabru.co.uk it's great. You measure your room and get a sofa to fill the space. Then you can choose it in the fabric and colour of your choice and after a bit of research it has worked out cheaper too!

Step One = Don't get crushed by a pallet of flat pack sofa

Step Two - Work out the 3-D jigsaw puzzle of sofa pieces.

Step Three - Supply this monkey with tea and he will work all day.

Step Four - The end! (Note the coffee table is still a cardboard box with a table cloth to disguise it!)

Moving House – Episode one

To anyone I haven’t informed yet - We’ve moved!!

Unfortunately it’s not into our own house, which we had lined up to purchase and renovate - It is another rental property. However, it has four bedrooms (compared to two in Fig Tree Cottage) a good sized lounge/study and kitchen/dining. It also has three toilets , which is great but proved a problem at first, because you find yourself standing crossed legged on the landing trying to decide which toilet you want to use today. And the best part...a garage!

The only other problem was it’s completely unfurnished (bar white goods), which is great as we want to start accumulating our own furniture, but when we unpacked our last box from Fig Tree Cottage we suddenly realised how little we actually own up here.

After moving in on Boxing day (not recommended! – And only because I couldn’t be arsed taking down the Christmas tree and putting it up again in the new house) we spent the rest of the Christmas holidays shopping...awesome!
Strangely I haven’t taken a picture of the outside yet, but “Here’s one I made earlier” and a few interior photos.

Looking down the stairs from the top story - Every room is on a half level, which is kind of cool, but does mean 47 steps from bottom to top!!

Looking back to the lounge from the study - It looks small but it goes around the corner.

We are sleeping on a mattress on the floor too!

I'm back!

I know, I know...it’s been ages since I last posted a blog, however it’s not because I’ve lost interest in my website or because I’m too lazy to write (possibly debatable?). In fact we have been so caught up in everything around us that blogging has taken a back burner, as more often than not I either can’t get to the computer, we have no internet connection or just don’t have the time. The later being the main reason.

But I mean to make amends, however rather than boring you all to death with a sixteen page essay on my life in the last six months I’m going to break it down in to short – exciting happenings. (Well exciting for me anyway!)

So here goes...
