Coming up for air!

So the last week has been spent moving house no need to tell anyone how much of a pain that is. Boxes everywhere, no internet connection (it's currently works on a wired connection only; can you say old technology!), a complete inability to find anything and two menacing children demanding the reinstatement of their swingset and trampoline; fortunately we're now within walking distance of the local park complete with swingset and sandpit!

We've moved into a slightly smaller house in a nicer area (and better school district) so we're trying to consolidate everything, I can kiss goodbye to parking my car in the garage, which is now destined to contain not only lots of stored items but also the treadmill; a scenic surround I think not, not that I'll need it anytime soon as Spring is in full flow.

Anyway this was just a quickie to say I am still alive but just resurfacing from the avalanche of brown cardboard, bubble wrap and packing tape!

  3. What a dilemma, unpack boxes or put on your running shoes and explore?

    Tough choices, but I guess you could do with a break after the 50k. Good luck in your new home.

  5. That's why I've been in the same place (crappy neighborhood) for 15 years! I HATE MOVING. Hope it all goes well. ;)

  7. I too live in a shoebox-me, my wife, three kids, a beagle, and a hamster. Every inch of the house is "lived in." No garage to store (stash and hide) anything. But you know the lower house payment and better schools are worth the peace of mind you've gained. Just put that treadmill in the family room and think of it as a part of the decor. LOL!!

  10. Aw...moving is THE WORST!

    Parking in the garage is HIGHLY overrated (that's what I keep telling myself as I park in the driveway) :-)
