I LOVE MY HOUSE

So here we are!! I am sitting at the computer in the third bedroom of my new house and it feels wonderful. Whoever said material things don't bring happiness was wrong. I am happy, very happy and its all down to my lovely house. For once all my furniture and little bits and pieces look good instead of cluttered or just wrong. For once we have space to move and breath, space to leave things out and not worry that its going to get messy and horrible. We have space to go to bed when we want, get up when we want and not disturb the other person, we have space to do our own thing whilst enjoying the company of others at different times ie meal times or relaxing times in the evening. I have always said how important the environment is and now I can experience it for myself. We have always been so cluttered and restrained in our little house no wonder there were rows and disagreements. I love my new house.

Moving is exhausting and tiring but also good fun. I have enjoyed rediscovering things I packed weeks ago and deciding where to put them to their best use.

So far the only thing I can't find is my wok but that may be in the old house. Other than that it all went amazingly well. We got in just in time before the snow came and we were marooned here. All I have heard on the news is how terrible travel conditions are so it was good we were in just in time.
Since Monday all I have done is unpack boxes and move things and put things away and so now I am about 85% done. Still boxes in cupboards but otherwise it looks like a home. We also need to buy a new sofa for down stairs and some kitchen stools but otherwise it looks and feels amazingly comfortable.

I love my new dishwasher and the washing machine seems fine as does the cooker and fridge freezer. Just got to get to grips with the heating instructions as we seem to have it on either too hot or not at all but it all seemed terribly complicated on Monday and Tuesday which may have been more about my brain being overloaded.

My arms and legs ache from carrying and lifting and walking up and down three flights of stairs and my fingers ache from carrying back heavy shopping yesterday in the snow but who cares for aches and pains I LOVE MY HOUSE!!!
