In the new house!

Yet again a long time has passed since I wrote here, but I do feel that this time I do have some excuse, as I really have had very much going on resently. Mainly of course we have bought a house.
We have moved in this weekend, really we hoped to do it last weekend, but we could get no-one to help us so it was delayed.
As the incorrigable optimism I am I had happily invited four friens and their off spring (five in total) to come around on Saturday comming but on Monday morning I realised that there is no way our house will be in a fit state by then.
We have managed to get the most important functions of our house running, but mainly it is boxes and bags most everywhere.
Alex absolutely adores his room, he can spend any amount of time in there playing with his toys, climbing in and out of his wardrobe and standing at the window looking at the trains going passed. I was a bit worried that he'd be upset about the change, but he apear to see the benenfit of the move as accutely as we do. Yesterday I acctually had some problems getting things done as he refused to leave his room. Eventually I had to kidnap his Postman Pat van to get him to come with me.
We are getting our washing machine installed today, so at least I can get cracking on the laundry, which is at the moment threatening to take over the entier house. Getting all that done is the next big project, as we will not be able to get any real order in the house until we can sort the clothes out.
We have been slightly worried though that the house have some damp patches on one of the walls, so we might have to get it damp proofed, and we have no idea how much that'll cost, but of course it just has to be done if it's needed. Last night we got another suprise though, I was in the shower, when David shouted in to me; 'it's leaking in to the kitchen'! Great, so pressumably there is a pipe leaking somewhere, thankfully I don't think it's been going on for to long as there is no marks in the kitchen cealing. but again, it's better done sooner then later.
On the whole though we are very happy with the house, it's really spaciouse and the garden will be lovely when we are done. We'll have to take one thing at the time of course, but we have no rush.
