Moving in very slowly

After getting the keys on Friday 17th, it has been a slow haul with moving in. At least we can take our time unlike most people who have to do it all in one day and then spend months unable to find anything. Not that I can find anything lol.

Dramas with tanks, pumps and pipes last weekend. The concreting in entry, laundry entry and al fresco was done on Saturday 18th which makes a huge difference to the amount of dirt getting tracked in. I'm glad I don't have carpet in the living areas!

We will eventually have phone and Foxtel in the new house - they're just very slow. So at the moment, the old house is the entertainment area.

My favourite toy is the dishwasher. The kids are loving having a nice kitchen and a real oven instead of the old OffNBurn. I haven't cooked anything so far! Troy was first off the rank on Saturday night with a roast leg of lamb; this was the first night we all had moved into new house. Andrew followed up on Sunday with devilled sausages and potato bake. Apparently my new Scanpans are 'okay' too.


A few quick pics of the chaos:


My walk in robe with the Elfa system. I think I need to get a few more colours in clothes! Everything seems to be black or red. Actually most of my t shirts are blue (or black) but they are in my chest of drawers.



My new bed with Mr Squishy. I need to get a new quilt cover. The rest of my room is total chaos.


Looking back to front door. That's my new lounges in foreground. Comfy and much bigger than I'd thought they would be! And heavier!!



Dining area with Megan's table and chairs. Admire the extremely expensive screen doors please - they cost as much as security screen on rest of house!


Kitchen. Troy put the pantry shelves up last weekend. Microwave and toaster live in the pantry.



Al fresco. It's amazing how much sun comes in there during the morning at the moment - it will be nice in winter.




Bear smiling for the camera. He's not a happy dog since he isn't allowed in the new house except for the laundry where he sleeps at night.
