Sorry for long gap but it's been madder than a set of badgers round here. Anyway we have finally got the keys to our lovely new home - a classic piece of 70s memorabilia which remains virtually untouched (and in the case of the bath, uncleaned) since it was built in 1972. Preserved in all its glory, this beacon of its era......... oh ok i'll shut up now. I was trying to take a positive spin on it but the actual truth is it's not very beautiful yet. Come back in ten years and ask me again.
Despite that though, it's great to have our own place so that we can properly embark on our lives together, and I'm really excited about moving in next week, although there's quite a lot to do first (now where did I put that Cillit Bang?) I actually feel really happy at the moment, although the scale of the To Do List is causing me to not sleep terribly well and feel a bit rushed about everything.
Parsley carried me over the threshold on Friday, the boys have been rolling around in the huge empty living room having the time of their lives, Taf said yesterday "I like this house more than my mummy's house" 
and Parsley entertained us all by losing the car keys in a house with absolutely nothing in it. (He found them, 45 mins later, under a copy of the Rural Trader...)
D
So all in all I reckon I can deal with the ant infestation, bizarre brown/turquoise kitchen with antiquated hob, the fridge that was supposed to be there having been nicked by the previous tenants, the grossly abhorrent appearance of the bath and the carpet in Taf's room which looks like it has been urinated on and then clawed to pieces by a medium-size animal... given a week or two. Just got to find time to pack as well.
