I have been a bit quiet on this blog recently, but I have a good excuse! Moving home.
We have now finally moved house to a nice little place not far from the centre of the town that we were living in before. Due to the short notice of the move we spent all week trying to get everything moved before our next rent check was due on the 22nd of August. It was tight, but we did it. I had a few scrapes and bruises and Mandy sprained her wrist, but other than that we did pretty well.
The original idea was to rent a van, then it was to borrow a van from a friend of my boss and finish the move of that weekend with a van from my dad's work. Then I realised that I would have to move everything on my own so I hired a guy with a van that my mum knew through a girl at her work. So me and this guy loaded our stuff into his van and unloaded it at the new house. After 3 hours (he charged £15 an hour) we had finished, so I didn't need the van from my dad's work after all. I took Tuesday off to move a bunch of stuff on my own and it rained and rained. After a full day of this I was totally wet through.
The new house is great, although there are a few things to work out, but it's a nice place to live, with a great view of the British country side.
Since I have moved I also don't have a phone connection yet, but that is hopefully getting sorted tomorrow. After that it shouldn't be long before I get an Internet connection again.
