D-Day

Yessssss we did it - we moved in! It's been 10 long months since we moved out but now we are ready to enjoy the fruits of our labour - mine mental, Mark's physical.

We spent the day loading and unloading cars, followed by some maneouvering if large items like dishwashers, washing machines and dryers. Then we got the sofas out and the table and chairs.

Tom had a ball following us up and down the long hallway and delighted in 'new' toys he came across...cardboard boxes, newspaper, plastic kids plates and cups...

Ela satyed with Aunty Angie and Uncle Jamie and cousin Sophie for the day but when she finally arrived she also was in seventh heaven re-discovering all her old toys that had been locked up (by the builders) in her old room.

Well its light, airy, cold (no aircon yet) and beautiful. We tried unsuccessfully to hoover the carpet - new carpets are full of fluff balls. Our tiny dustbuster just wasn't up to the job - Mark drove out to work to borrow the industrial vac and that gave up in a puff of smoke so we went and borrowed the neighbours'. Something for the xmas list (how boring).

We slowly unpacked the kitchen boxes and got a look at our wardrobes and some long lost clothes :) We had pizza for dinner and used the 'old' bathroom - as we are still waiting on shower screens.
