Moved in, back online and still living in boxes

We are now moved into the new house!

I'm back online thanks to a very smooth broadband change over thanks to BT (I never thought I'd get to say that).

It's been a very strenuous few days as we packed up the final bits of the house in Eltham and moved over to our new place in Sidcup. Saturday was a bit of a whirlwind as we picked up the keys, did the inventory check and then it was back to Eltham to start ferrying things backwards and forwards. Extra special big thanks to Sharon, Alan, Brad, Pete, Tristan, Ian and Jamie for taking time out of their day to add extra bodies to the move making it all go and lot faster and smoother than if we had done it ourselves.

After the initial move on Saturday we had some much needed time out to have a big meal at El Bandito taking out some of our helpers as a token of our appreciation. After that it was back to the new place to crash out for some much needed sleep!

It was more of the same for Sunday and Monday, building various bits of furniture and starting to unpack stuff and find a home for everything. We are getting there slowly but there are still a lot of boxes left to be sorted out. Sam, Aaron and Gemima have all been good at getting involved and helping to get things done which is a welcome relief and makes things so much easier.

Despite us still living in more box chaos this new house feels like home already and I don't miss the old place at all. Can't wait until everything is sorted out and then we can relax and enjoy the place and get back to living (ab)normal lives again!
