Moved Home

We moved out of our rented flat of 3 and a half years which was one bedroom into a dyso flat (40% owned 60% rented) two bedroom newly built flat on friday the fourth. Everything was rather chaotic my fiance had spend about a week packing up the old flat with a little help from myself, i did try to help as much as i could but found myself getting tired very easily, so most of the time he showed me items asking whether we wanted to throw them out or keep them before chucking them into the correct boxes!

The day of the move came fast; the first part of the day was choosing things for the new flat fridges, and washing machines etc to collect later in the day, this left me very tired, when the van arrived to us, i hopped to my sisters already having realised that i was absolutely useless during the actual moving stage and we already had several members of my family helping lug huge boxes of our worldly possessions up flights of stairs so i was as much use as a chocolate teapot filled with hot water as i was am on crutches.

They made good time and managed to have all the belongings into the property by the end of friday which was damn right impressive.

On saturday we spent many hours trawling around several large shops looking for finishing items for the flat inclucing rugs, curtains, blinds etc. Simon had also managed to unpack some of the boxes of our possessions, and we are finally starting to get things in order.

Its finally starting to get into order, the lounge with kitchen looks perfect the bedroom looks okay except for the suitcases on the floor which contain all our clothes as the chest of drawers and two wardrobes are being put up tomorrow, the bedroom 2 on the other hand contains all the boxes and junk not really being in any kind of order.

Although i have Fibro i have being doing the best i can although at some times i have overdone it, its a case of trying to learn to not over do it. I have been phoning all the companies changing addresses as well as the laundry stuff and trying to do small tasks.

We dont have broadband back which i am really missing i have internet via my mobile connected as a modem to my laptop but its only 115kbs which is sooo slow but its only after 7pm and at weekends.. roll on broadband.

I still cant believe this home is ours its going to take some time to adjust physically, mentally and financially!
