Well we're in!

If this is gibberish and makes absolutely no sense, then please forgive me! It's 11.30pm and we moved house today! I am absolutely knackered and should be asleep in the lovely land of nod, but my gorgeous little three year old is still wide awake and watching Blues Clues )o:

The move went well really; we had two guys and a van from a local removal company and they were lovely (had to do three trips, mind - although I'm convincing myself that it was a small van - not that we've just got loads and loads of crap - OK, humour me, all right?)

It 'feels' right all ready and really homely. We've bust our ba**s painting and carpet cleaning and getting everything organised for the move and it's been worthwhile. We've been able to have a few nicities - like being able to connect our fridge to the water to get ice; like a 'bing bong' door entry system on the front door; like an alarm system. It's SO lovely to know that we can hang a picture where WE want to, not where there's an existing hook only! I think it'll really make this place feel like home, now we're able to put some roots down.

We've had another shi**y letter from the Estate Agents, informing us AGAIN that we're in arrears with our rent and we haven't paid anything since 17th of last month (OK, so what was the $500 cash we've got the receipt for then - scotch mist?), so it will give us great pleasure to shove their keys where the sun doesn't shine tomorrow!

The kids are all well and ploughing on with school. Darcie's loving the reading books (they are completely boring me to tears though - they are just SO repetative). Sam finishes his two weeks of school swimming tomorrow and all I can say is thank god I bought my Tumble dryer with me! The weather's not been too good this past week and the house is full of the smell of tumble drying chlorine - lovely! Sam's doing really well with his swimming (having said that, both he and Darcie had a day off from their lessons today - although I did have a legitimate excuse (o: ) and his teacher has told him he's passed level 5, so that's great.

I've got to try and wean Adam back into his own bedroom now after 3 months of bedding down with Paul and I! The conversation I had with him today went along these lines:

Me: 'Adam, do you like your lovely new bedroom?'
Addy: 'Yes'.

Me: 'Do you like your lovely new truck light in your room?'
Addy: 'Yes, it's brill yant'

Me: 'How do you like your duvet cover with Thomas on?'
Addy: 'It's tanstic'

Me: 'What do you think of your big-boy bed?'
Addy: 'cool'

Me: 'So where are you going to sleep tonight?'
Addy: '..........With Darcie'

I give up! I'm sure it'll work out in the end /o:

We'll the lights have dimmed, the credits have rolled on Blues Clues and my day seems to have finished. Got to be up early for the carpet cleaner at the old house; he's coming at 8am! Obscene! I'll let you know how we get on with the Estate Agent and how many firemen it takes to extract the keyring :D :D :D

Night night xxXXxx
