Quick update

We've spent most of the last week rushing about doing house buying things. With the consequence that we are pretty much now guaranteed to have a new house on January 31st, but this last week has not felt much like a holiday. I am back to work tomorrow, and I can't say I feel like I have much enthusiasm for it at the moment. However I'm only back for 2.5 weeks, and then I was going to take a week off while Mum and Dad were visiting, but I think I'll extend that to 1.5 weeks and slap moving time on the end of it. I don't suppose that will be much of a holiday either as we try and pack up and clear up eight years worth of clutter. Still I am excited, and finally now allowing myself to think thoughts like 'soon we shall have a linen cupboard that is not in constant danger of towel avalanches' or 'I can't wait to have a pantry that we can actually fit all of our food into'
We've also pretty much decided to keep our old house and rent it out. It will still need a lot of work - it needs painting, and the floor boards repolishing, and we've already arranged for the gutters to be replaced (because it is nice to have proper gutters and not rusty sieves). But we can worry about that after we have moved out.
