Yes, wonderful title!
Meely, just had a peep on your profile, how goreous are your boys? Excellent photography, the sort of pics I always want to get but can somehow never capture. Are they professional?
Update for anyone who is interested.........
School & nursery start in seventeen days. I have my children booked in at Morecambe but we are still currently in Preston (45 mins away). And when will we be moving in? Well, we have currently stripped every room of paper and carpets, pulled up many many floorboards to replace wiring, plumbing and dodgy gaspipes. Bathroom is very broken, awaiting to be stripped of every appliance and needs a wall rebuilding as the original came away when we pulled off the tiles. Downstairs rooms have nearly finished being replastered but need to wait 5 days for them to dry out before we can seal them, undercoat them, paint them, strip woodwork and repaint it, and scrub and repaint ceilings. Upstairs rooms still waiting to be plastered and receive the same treatment as above. Dodgy stair bannisters still need to be taken out and replaced (and painted/varnished, etc). And the kitchen? Well, we would have started installing it except that we currently have NO FLOOR after discovering that the joists were rotten and need to be replaced, so instead we just have a large hole down to the cellar where the kitchen ought to be.
DH sees no reason why we can't be in there within 17 days........
Oh well, on the plus side at least I'm 31 weeks pregnant, struggling with SPD, waking in the night with unbearable leg cramps, and get to spend all day struggling with two stroppy three year olds and a tempramental five year old. Oh, wait, hang on - that's not good!
Worse than it sounds really. I think I have entered into a blissful state somewhere between denial and hysterical laughter which is not altogether unpleasant. All without the aid of alcahol!
