Slowly slowly slowly we're getting there. The house is "operational" as in, the bits we need to use are all good. The "office" is a state, the spare bedroom is vaguely functional (as in, you could sleep in there, just ( Read more... )

Since the last entry several things have happened. I guess the first and most important one, given the content of the last entry is that we took the house with the feature walls I linked to back there. We moved house on Good Friday and it took us a week or so to get almost everything sorted. The move was bloody hard work but thanks to Jane's ( Read more... )

We've been to see a few properties over the last week or so, and also not been to see several properties that we wanted to see - agencies are a bunch of incompetent goons I swear - so we've got a good idea of the local market again ( Read more... )

We've been renting our house here in Wrexham since April 2010. We've been perfectly happy - it's a nice house, it's a good and quiet area. The owner of the property lives near-by and is a good owner, he deals with things as they need dealing with and is a nice bloke ( Read more... )

Jane and I have been talking since we moved into this house about having a house-warming. Well we eventually got round to arranging a date, which was this weekend gone. We invited 12 or so people, suspecting that probably half of them wouldn't be able to come. Our house is fairly small and having more people than that would make life uhh, ( Read more... )

Since my last proper update, things are rolling along. The nw house is lovely, both pipsytip and I are enjoying it muchly. Fingers crossed we shall enjoy it much more now that we have a new fridge (ooooooo exciting stuff). No - really - it is! The one inbuild into the kitchen is horrifically badly designed. Who puts the salad tray virtually at floor ( Read more... )

Really, I will. I don't remember when I last did. If it was before we moved house, there's two reasons I haven't updated:

1. We STILL don't have proper broadband access. We won't do (according to TalkTalk) until the 6th June. That'll be 2 months after we moved in. About 3 months after we informed them that we were moving. We're on a T-Mobile ( Read more... )

Twitter's had all my updates lately. Anything more than 140 characters is too much to think about ( Read more... )

Since I last wrote here, not a huge amount has changed. Life is trundling along quite hapilly, and things generally are good.

Jane and I have been out the last couple of weekends doing some walking in Delamere Forest. We were there a month or two back and picked up a map/guide, but haven't been back for a while. Last week's was an experimental 3 ( Read more... )

I've arranged to possibly meet up at their new house in Chippenham on the weekend that we're down in Bristol. It would be good to see where they're going to be living, and where they're spending all their time at the moment, decorating and sorting ( Read more... )
