House Update

Well its good news in my life eventually and well overdue. I have been on the list for years and eventually my chance has arrived...

3 bedroom, semi detached, new ceilings, new floors, new kitchen, fittings, freshly plastered walls, new fireplace, new roof...this place is just so perfect. Front and back secluded safe garden for little one with outhouse for his tools and cole house for my junk...lol. I cried last night because I didnt think we had got it. It was a day from hell, I lost a tenna, smashed all my eggs, my daughter smashed my friends brand new iron (luckily it just missed her head) and then kevin got a caution for shaking his dust sheets in the street where he is working!!! Anyway rang today and looks like its mine and I am just waiting on a call to confirm the details. Normally you would move in the following day but this house is is the proceeds of getting a new roof so we got 2 weeks to pack.

Awwww things feel so good for a change.

There you go Bryn...some positive for ya and thanks Emz for asking xx

..Nice one..sounds like a well decent place..hope all runs smooth for ya..probably good that ya got 2 weeks to move in..gives ya time to sort ya stuff out..nuffin worse than moving into sumwhere when ya gotta rush ya packing and all other bits n bobs..tis total head****..good luck ; )..Robbie..
Bunny - Keeping my fingers crossed for you - time for a break in Bunnyland. The house sounds perfect. Don't leave us hanging when you find out...
Robbie, emz, bunny,
I wish I could meet you guys, I love your accents, I can almost hear them when I read your posts. bits n bobs, I love that! Sorry to crash your post, just had to say that. Bunny, congratulations on your new place, it sounds very nice, are places hard to rent there? Where are you guys from? Emz, a two bedroom with four kids, do not know how you manage! Thats gotta be crowded.
Are your kids little? I have three one girl (16) and two boys (13 and 8) and they'd kill each other if they shared a room! And I'd be tearing my hair apart. We have a four bedroom, so everyone has their own room, but am thinking about turning Tom's room (the baby, 8) into a computer room cuz even tho he has his own room, he insists on sleeping with me. When I tell him no, he goes to bed in his room and guess who's next to me when I wake up? can't win.
Nice to meet you guys.
Roe
Aww thanks everyone. We went and viewed it tonight and should get the keys tomorrow...looks like we may be moving in sooner than we thought. Kevin is having NOTHING tomorrow then maybe subs the next??? He is supposed to be going to his sisters Tuesday so its in then he is going to have to go work for her too while I am left to paint...lol.

I aint even bothered about rushing because one thing I have learnt it patience always pays off.

God Emz....cant believe your in a 2 bed house with 4!!! Its no always so difficult to get a house around here but 3 beds are rare and the area is high demand. Its cos its so cheap around here...lol.

Well I may be offline for a while with the housemove but hopefully get the net on in new house as soon as possible.

Will log on in library if I have to just so I can keep you informed.

Aww love ya all xx

Glad to hear it BR, about time too, eh? Good things come to those who wait??? All teh best with the move, Kev
Good things come to those who wait? God I hope so!

Bunny that is fantastic news! The house sounds great too! Fresh start...it's gonna be great. But moving that quickly? I hope your place is tidier than mine!!! I've got four weeks before my move and I'm dreading it! I mean I'm not...I'm really looking forward to it, but we're crammed into a tiny little old cottage...very quaint...but it's such a mess!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how I'm gonna get packed up in time!

But you're probably way more organised than me! :o)

It's great hun. Happy new home to you!

Maddy x x x
haia bunny
great news for you,like yousaid it shows some good things do happen along the way,we moved to this house about two yrs ago,we had been doing it up till then,all new and fresh,its cool
being able to make a home,not just somwhere you live,and gardens for the little one to enjoy in time for summer,if we have one!
good luck seren**
Yeh am so excited...were in a upstairs flat at the moment and we dont have a garden. My little girl dont even have her own bedroom bless her. All my things are crammed in here but its organized and tidy...lol.

Its so exciting because this flat is mine so it will feel like "our home" and its so exciting to think about setting up a family home where my girl can play in a garden or in her own room, I can excape upstairs for some space instead of all the rooms being next door to each other!

I will keep ya all posted cos I should FINGERS CROSSED have the keys in my hands tomorrow xx GOD AM SO EX s***ED LOL
May your new home be filled with love and happiness

xxxxxxxxxx
I just had to add on here that I have still not had the confirmation through about the house and I have rang and rang and rang and still NOTHING. I havent slept for 3 days now and I am going insane. Everytime the phone ring I am diving up and getting mad when its not the council. I feel like telling everyone who is ringing me to go away cos I dont wanna speak to them, I wanna hear from the council. What if I dont get it after all??? What if there is a probem??? I cant cope with this, I just want some keys in my hands then I can rest. One woman send ring back Monday...am like yeh as if am gonna wait till then, If I havent heard by this afternoon then I guess I aint got it after all. They normally contact you within 2 working days to do a viewing and hand the keys over...nope I havent heard a thing!!!

Why does this always happen to me...get some luck and its all taken away from me in a second!!

:-( xx
dont strss so much--although im not one to talk--im sure all will be well and i hope it all works out i must say im feeling a little jealouse--i soooo want my own home-its sad when you go to WORK to get away from all the stress at HOME-LOL anyway im so happy for you you hung in there and now you will eap your rewards-and hopefully your man will be good--dont wanna taint the new house with any negativity--youll be in my prayers
ALL CONFIRMED AND GOING AHEAD. YIIIIPPPPPEEEEE!!

Moving in next week. They are coming out to take photos of this place on Monday so that they can advertise it.

Wow all that worrying for nothing. I can sleep in peace tonight xx
Yay for you BR!!!! What a piece of excellent luck...maybe things are starting to turn...

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay Bunny!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo happy for you!!!!!!!!!
Awww am so happy for meeself..lol. I cant believe this is it!! I can move from my little pokey flat and start a fresh new life with hopefully not as many problems as before.

I cant wait to decorate, clean, refurnish etc etc. I love NEW. I am just a little scared because I am a little funny with staying in new places etc but I a, sure I will settle in no time at all.

Thanks once again for all your replies xx
