Well it finally happened. It's goodbye Blog Cottage and Hello! Blotto Cottage. An apt name given the amount of champagne we've been (well...I've been..) consuming.
God what a difference a couple of days makes. Less than three days ago it was a case of 'are we aren't we?' going to be moving. Things didn't look promising and I had no answer to LP's constant questioning along the lines of:
"Is it today we are moving?"
"How many sleeps until we are moving Daddy?"
"Is it today today (!) we are moving to Blonko Cottage Daddy..?"
Well yes he was really excited and not at all phased by the whole thing. I think the promise of a playroom and a new bedroom which he can choose was all good so far as he was concerned.
The weather was shite all day of the packing and moving. Now let me tell you, forget Pilates, weight training or triathlon, if you want to keep fit and stay strong: become a removal man! I must have lifted, what, two or even three boxes but the team from the removals company were like robots charging up and down the stairs with box after box after box - you get the picture.
Mrs.SAHD said they smelt. I say give them a break, Jeez anyone would doing all that physical activity.
Frantic cleaning at Blog Cottage to welcome in the new owners, left the place spotless. After all they are still practically neighbours. They seem pleased.
Most exciting of all, LP comes home to a new home. Not just a new home but a new walk home too. Little bit worried about the massive increase in the walk to school. I mean an extra 300 metres is nearly a third of a kilometre. A long way for small legs speshly on the homeward walk after a busy day of school and chasing and annoying the older kids. Oh well we'll just have to drive .... only joking.
So we're in. We are loving the space. Blog Cottage was beautiful and we have very good memories there but this place is in a different league baby..
Anyway new challenges still exist like how on earth did we fit all that junk in such a small house and what shall we throw away or what furniture shall we buy for our FIVE bedrooms? Yeah that's right you read correctly: five bedrooms. We should rename it Blotto Manor.
Anyway enough of this drivel, off to quaff some more champers.
