Finally moved into our own home.

The last few days have been madness, we moved in on wednesday. We moved in late because of decorators but, it was worth the wait although the last four days have been hectic. Wednesday evening we moved most of our belongings, although theres still a ton of books to come. We also painted the first coat on the bedroom.

Then Thursday we got up early as petes dad popped by and helped us paint the second coat and later that day we painted the living room/ kitchen and got that done so i started unpacking at about 9pm and then we stayed up til one putting up furniture.

Yesterday i had to work and pete put up the new bookshelves and then we had a few guests over.

Today i had to work again and petes parents came over and painted the ceiling and put up our new curtains on the flat as i’m scared of ladders and we have really tall ceilings and windows but the flat as come together really well over the last few days and it looks great and will always stay that way.

Unfortunately due to the busy schedule i haven’t had much knitting done although that will change espcially due to the fact i now have a knitting area (studio space) in my living room it’s going to be great i’m really pleased with how it’s come together although its been hard and tiring. 

It’s the first flat we’ve had together and we are love it already

Happy knitting

Finally found a flat

As you may well have known from some previous posts, me and my partner (pete) have to move from our shared house and moved in with a friend ( we are very greatful) unfortunately he had to put his life on hold for us to move out and we ownly had a few weeks to find somewhere yet again. Thankfully we have found somewhere, we have viewed and was able to put down a deposit and we are moving in monday/ tuesday next week. It’s quite abit more than we were willing to pay due to low money income but, we decided enough is enough we will manage and it will be better than living with others and took the leap.

I’ve already been planning things to make like soft furnishing, throws, bed quilts, Welcome mats, alsorts. We are heading to Ikea sunday afternoon to take a nosey around and pick up things we need. Fabrics, storage, lighting, coffee tables etc… the massive list goes on. We have already planned the colours for the living room. We decided on Red, White and Brown. I picked out some white fabric with poppies on for curtains, a throw for the cream suite, walnut coffee table and more. I can wait, My mum is chuffed but to be able to keep up with rent and things i’m going to have to pull my finger out and get a new job, I’m going to search for something on the NHS. i need a consistent salary wage with more hours.

I will keep you posted and take a few photo’s of the new flat, I do think the fact our flat will be above a bakery maybe the hardest part about moving NOT!!!

Homefront

No Good news on the home front so we are moving to a friends for a month or so till we get ourself on our feet. It’s going to be hard as I’m going to have to pick and choose my most prized possessions. Of which is definitely my favourite yarns. I’m also taking my Knitting magazines and books, Dvd’s will also have to take the trip with me and my PC which thankfully i can still use the Internet as i have a 3 wireless dongle so i will top up so I’m Internet ready when i move. It’s all a bit upsetting to me though as i wanted this move to be to our new home but no look so Christmas in another persons home this year instead of our own.

I’m going to be shattered by the end of this weekend as I’m working all of it pretty much plus i have to pack, i even have to choose out what clothes to take cos there isn’t enough room to take them. It’s quite upsetting

On good note we will be out of the way of our horrid landlord, and this s**thole.

There’s a small bright side
