We moved! and it was a lot less stressful that I thought it would be, mainly as we paid a firm to pack, move and reassemble everything. It was a massive expense (£675!!) but we have our deposit from the old place and my wonderful parents paid half (how fantastic are they!) and to be honest if we had tried to do it all ourselves it would have been terrible. I was really poorly with a chest/ear/throat/cold thing and spent most of the time doubled over with a hacking cough (attractive, no?), our youngest was suffering with the same germs as me but was coping by napping or having many comfort feeds for me (which was not helping with my general exhaustion) and both boys wanted to get in amongst everything.
Anyway on Sunday morning we went off nice and early to church and then on to a really lovely picnic with everyone after and didn't arrive back until around 2.30 in the afternoon. It was very serial to walk back into a house full of boxes all ready to be moved. So we settled down for a family movie (despicable me two) and takeaway pizza on the floor of our lounge and relaxed with the boys.
The following day the boys went with our wonderful nanny (who has them every Monday morning whilst both hubby and I work) to a friends house. Long story short by the end of Monday we were in and surrounded by boxes but thankfully the boys room was ready for them to sleep in.
That was four weeks ago and time has flown by! we have been so busy with life that I just haven't had time to write about what we are up to. Mr M has been working very hard, we have been to visit family and had family visit us. There has been very little sleep but have almost unpacked, and to top it off last week we have had a house warming to which 16 of our new neighbours came!
I am so thankful for our new home, but also very much looking forward to a bit of 'normal' life for a few weeks, and hopefully a chance to get a few more posts up.
