Come in and welcome

Bovis phoned earlier this week about the carpet choice, they later found our original choice but it gave me the opportunity to ask about potential dates etc. Apparently the 30th of November is wwhen the carpets go in and then approximately a week to ten days after the house should beours. So this time next month we could be sitting in our new home!! Its all very exciting and I am busy but methodically sorting out stuff and packing things we don't use all that often. I've done all the ornaments and pictures and bits and pieces and cleared out the bureau yesterday. Today I aim to finish the area around this computer and possibly sort out the kitchen carousel and give that a good clean.

Jackie came round in the week and apparently Daniel and Sophie might now be interested in the house afterall. This would be brilliant in so many ways but also slightly embarrassing as I am sure my housework standards are not to Jackies!

We've had a quite a few visitors lately what with the boys and different people popping in for house stuff like yesterday we had the carpet people round who made a great fuss of Colin and we had a chat. Earlier in the week a young CID woman officer called by regarding the attempted break in at Mary's and she got completely distracted by Colin. I think both Richard and I like havng visitors and this is definetely something I would want to encourage in our new home.

I envisage our home being busy and often full of people. I want our home to be the place where you go a warm inviting and happy place where people enjoy our company. My ethos will be come in and welcome.
