House

The house is going up for sale. It's a big step for us as hopefully it earmarks the start of the actual move.

It's been tiring as trying to do DIY in the evenings and around the kids hasn't been easy, but Jim's done a cracking job!

It's been a while...

It's been a bit hectic in our house. We had a lovely holiday in Brittany. Mostly. The baby didn't sleep very well, so we didn't sleep very well. But it was lovely to get away.
Oh and he started crawling too!

And then the girl started school! She's done a couple of full weeks now, and seems to really enjoy it. She is extremely tired and getting a bit, well stroppy. She's started to call me dude. Dude? I ask you!

The boy has started using the peg leg crawling technique - it's hilarious! Think he's realised it's quicker!
Fun!

Post Olympics

Wow! I think lots of people around the world were expecting Britain to fail as hosts for the 2012 Olympics. Think we did alright.

The girl and me watched it most days, me for the cycling and rowing. She loved the cycling, rowing, diving, gymnastics, synchronised swimming, and equestrian, but was a bit confused about the judo.

Suffice to say we loved it and were very sad when it ended, but it does mean one thing. Our holiday is nearly here!!

It's the wrong sign

The House has been sold.

We really, really liked it. We'd been thinking about what we'd do to it when we bought it.

Haven't told Jim yet. Will be told that I should have gone last weekend.

Hopefully this just means that we've not yet found the house we're meant to have.

Hope it floods!

It's a sign

The house near Trondheim didn't sell at its weekend open day.

Surely a sign that's it's meant to be?

You're going to Trondheim. Trondheim? Yes. Trondheim.

Jim wants to send me to Trondheim. All by myself. To look at a house we've seen / fallen in love with.
To say I'm nervous is a bit of an under statement. I don't want to be responsible for messing it up, plus I don't want to go on my own! the viewing is on Sunday when he's running a half marathon.

We've looked into flights and hotels but although I really quite like the idea of being brave and buying a house all by myself, we've decided not to go now. If the house doesn't sell on Sunday (highly doubtful as although it needs lots of work doing its right on the shore) then we'll take it as a sign. Hopefully all the work needed will put people off!! Good thing we will need to buy the airstream caravan Jim's got his eye on!

Bathrooms

So we've been looking at a lot of houses on the Internet. And I mean a lot. I have noticed that most of these houses have absolutely shocking bathrooms. What's that about?!
