All good :-)

Well I write this post from my new house :-)

All is good - the move went very well. Was just overwhelmed by how kind and helpful people were, it made moving weekend lots of fun and it kept me quite calm! Have documented the day with photos (did you really expect me not too!) which will hopefully make it onto here soon.

I love my new house, and it's starting to feel like home. Boxes are slowly unpacking, pictures are going up and rugs being bought. My neighbours are nice and have lived in the road for years. Apparently it is a very quiet road Noreen informed me :-) I love the fact that I can just walk to church and the schools, although as it's up a bit of a hill walking to church in heeled boots isn't the best. Walking around means I will get to know people in the area, I've bumped into lots of the kids already and I stopped to chat to the lollipop lady the other day!

My Christmas tree is up and looks beautiful and very big. It didn't actually look that big in B&Q, but I suppose that was compared to all the other trees!!! As I took the netting off it, it almost took me out.

Will post lots of pictures on here soon, wasn't actually expecting my internet to be connected until Friday so quite surprised to find the little broadband light on as I walked past the home hub.

Hope you are all well and enjoying the Christmas season so far :-)

This time 2 months ago I was happily living in my flat with no thoughts of moving.
Tomorrow I pick up the keys of my new place.


This week has been a bit of a blur. Have been really busy with work and I'm not sleeping very well due to my mind being just full of stuff! To say I am 'wired' would be an understatement! The poor woman at Budget Car Insurance had to deal with me in this mood when she told me the best offer they could give me for my new address would be an extra £350! I promotely rang up Direct Line who gave me insurance for £100 less than what I am already paying with Budget!!!


I am excited about moving but also a bit apprehensive, hoping that it will all work out. Am also a bit concerned that all the practical things will go well. Feeling quite tired now, general busyiness and lack of sleep. Will no doubt crash once moving weekend and next week is over.


Have packed the majority of my stuff. Bex and Sarah are helping me tomorrow. The plan is to work out where all my furniture is going to go and sort out the kitchen. Then the boys are moving all the heavy stuff on Saturday.

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll post some photos of the new place...

What are you thinking about?

Sophie and Coutney arrived at lunch club on Wednesday. I had done the assembly that morning and wanted to see what they could remember...

Me: So what happened in assembly this morning?
Courtney: Chris washed your feet
Me: Why?
Sophie: Because you told the story about Jesus washing his friend's feet

Great, they were listening...

Me: So what were we thinking about?
Sophie: Christmas
Me: Hmmm, is that what we were thinking about this morning?
Sophie: That's what I was thinking about!

You can't argue with that, can you! :-)
