Well, we re back in our house. Its a bit surreal living here again, but its so nice to have light around us in the house that has so many memories. Little Matthew played the Innkeeper at the little nativity play they had in class today and he enjoyed every minute of it. We all

I’m writing this at my nice new shiny desk on my nice new shiny iMac while waiting for a curry I’m building to cook in my nice new shiny kitchen. The garage is stuffed full of what few possessions we have, but we’re back in our own house and that’s all that counts.

Well, we’re semi packed and getting ready to go. We’re moving back to our house tomorrow, whether they’re finished or not. We really can’t wait any longer – we can’t get anything done in this house. I need to look for a permanent job, Debbie needs to get painting again, and I need to get

or at least we hope so. Completion date tends to oscillate a little – it was the Wednesday before last, then saturday, then last wednesday then this saturday… There was a wee bloke in yesterday doing general tidying up, ready for the last wee bits of joinery, tiling and painting.

We’re very nearly there. The joiner is replacing the double glazed panels in the front porch today, and then finishing off the last odds and ends of woodwork. All that’s left to do is the kitchen tiling, a couple of laminate/carpet interfaces and general tidying up and nit picking. As a result, I’m in flat

It’s Tristan’s birthday, that’s what. So everyone is up. It’s hard to believe he’s 8 already, but there we go. He’s been waiting for Mario and Luigi to be out for the GBA for months and today’s the day, so he’s up at the crack of dawn. Bah.

The back of my throat seems to be a battleground for hordes of streetgang lurgi, all vying for overall lurgi supremacy. Gak. Anyway, I have a bloke coming out to the house this morning to measure up for carpets. Gripping, huh? At least it indicates that things are progressing – just not quickly enough for
