Still in Stagsden!

Well, we are still in Stagsden, and not moved into our new house yet. But, all is not lost ; today we got final confirmation of our mortgage and the removals are booked for the 17th June!

We went to see how the house-build is coming along last weekend and we were pleasantly surprised! The house is lovely and looked to be almost finished! The carpets were down  and the gorgeous floor tiles. The bathrooms were just about finished and the tiles (which incidentally, I took ages to choose, what with me being so indecisive!) looked lovely! Only trouble was, they (the builders) had put them all in the wrong place! We have 4 bathrooms, so I guess it was an easy mistake to make? Errr, not when you've paid £800 for them! So, we have expressed our disappointment, but it really is going to be BIG job to remove all the tiles, re-plaster and re-tile, and we really don't have that much time left! So, we're waiting to see what happens next. Perhaps a nice discount off the price will soften the blow. We'll see!

Jaime and Tony's house move went well and they have settled into their new home nicely. Their house is lovely and in a really scenic area with lovely walks. It's nice to know they have their own home now and I hope they have many happy years there.

The weather has been quite horrible recently.....rain, rain and more rain! Katie and I haven't been out and about as much as we'd like although she is still enjoying her piano, swimming and Brownies. She's working towards her Computer Badge, and she's working extra hard so she can earn her badge before we move house.

We had a lovely visit from Katie's big brother Stephen recently. She loves spending time with him and the older she gets the more she is like him ; they are like two peas in a pod! It's funny, because she has so many of his mannerisms, she even talks like him, yet they spend very little time together. Katie wishes she could see him ever day, and she was actually quite sad when she saw him off at the train station. Ahhhh.
