Twas the day before handover, and all through the house...

...there was plastering and painting, and a fireplace in - GROUSE!


Settlement / handover / what ever you want to call it is 100% confirmed for tomorrow morning.  They may still be throwing that final coat of paint on the fireplace wall in between inspection and key exchange, but who cares?  It'll be ours.  OURS.  Muhahahahahahahahahahahaha.  How many sleeps???

(no pics - sorry - desk bound)

On the 3rd day til handover...

...our furkids completely lost the plot.

We've got 2 incredibly spoilt puppies that sleep on our bed (I know - it's naughty but they're sooo cute). Coz we're like minutes away from the big move, we've dismantled the beds and we're now sleeping on our mattress on the floor.

We literally had a ROFL moment when Ramsay, the very quirky Spoodle tried to get under the bed last night...for 20 minutes.  Clearly male!  Bella (my girl), the little fluff ball, has twigged that something's up and has taken to providing us 24/7 security by way of annoying, piercing, yapping bark. The neighbours will be VERY happy to be rid of us if this keeps up all week.

TWO MORE SLEEPS.  Woot woot :)

On the 4th day til handover...

Old Mother Hubbard paid a visit;

But I've got a damn Board meeting tomorrow night - rude - so nothing more will happen after work!

On the 5th day til handover...

...our house is a total mess.

The fireplace wall is being re-built to accommodate the flue.  Has to be re-plastered, re-painted.

If Carlisle can get this done by Thursday I'll be fairly impressed. Stunned, shocked, but impressed. But the move will go ahead regardless...???
