We hope anyway! Got a momentous week ahead. Today was the chippy finishing all the doors, woodwork and sealing downstairs, and the carpet fitters laying the stairs and our bedroom. Tomorrow we are both off work and the removals firm is delivering our containers back - and yes, its forecast to rain. Wednesday I'll be at my friends house preparing the main course for a communal dinner party on Friday. Thursday we are both off again and will be putting together the beds, hanging curtains and finding clean sheets and duvets. Thursday evening we are have been invited to friends for dinner, and hope to sleep in the house for the first time. And Friday is this lovely dinner evening - 6 adults, 7 kids (who will watch films and eat popcorn while the grown ups eat and consume vast amounts of wine) and probably a hangover on Saturday.
Was nearly a tragic week for the house though. Discovered a leak in the utility room ceiling last week so faced a huge bill for reroofing or something similar. Thankfully our chippy removed the mouldy ceiling panel and discovered it was just a dripping pipe - and took him all of five minutes to fix it! He got a beer for his troubles and we breathed a huge sigh of relief.
And The Husband spent most of the weekend cleaning nicotine off window frames, hanging curtain poles, building a new bed for Mr Moo and scrubbing the fireplace in our bedroom. It came up a treat!
