But 9c less than yesterday, there is a breeze, but it's a warm breeze.
I have started on the sewing room, cannot believe the number of boxes still to open.
Gradually getting used to the place, keeping fit going from the back to the front door.
Sleeping was not easy last night, although the sun had moved round, it was still rather stuffy. I had the fan on to cool me down.
Going to indulge in fish and chips from the chippy for supper tonight, too hot and tired to tackle them here.
.
36c here this afternoon, fans have been going since early morning.
I had an appointment for blood test, Dr's were running late. T was with DB whilst I was out.
This afternoon I have emptied 5 more boxes to clear the bedroom, have not found our pacemaker monitors yet, they must be in the boxes in the sewing room, will start in there tomorrow.....?.
I am shattered, sleep not too bad, managed to get the internet connected this morning, so have checked the bank, still surviving.......at last the lady who is moving into our apartment has paid me for the dish washer........
Supper tonight is ham and salad........it's too hot for anything else.
We arrived just before lunch. I came down during the morning to let the delivery chaps in. Wardrobe soon made up, discovered it was slightly bigger than the measurements on the web site, however switched round the dressing table for the linen press, all ok.
DD2 was soon into her stride, kitchen was her area of work, boxes unpacked and contents soon distributed aroumd the various cupboards. I sorted out the two shower rooms. Boxes unpacked and shoved into the conservtory along with the wrapping paper. The new wardrobe was soon bursting at the seams. I did not realise we had so much 'stuff'.
French doors open into the conservatory and outside door opened.......
After supper we made up the two beds and were soon in them
I had a funny night but managed to sleep 8 hours, but then I had only had 3+ hours the night before.
After breakfast DD2 sat in the conservatory and collapsed all the boxes and folded up the packing paper, its all in the garage now, awaiting collection. After lunch Dgd arrived with the two little ones. E had a great time exploring. He opened the back door and walked back in through the conservatory. S lay on the carpet smiling and talking away to himself. He is a very vocal baby. Has a petchant for chewing great grandmas finger, my goodness he has strong chew!
After they left I remade the bed with just a top sheet and a quilt, last night we slept umder the duvet. My goodness it was warm.
Internet is not working as it should, this is being sent from my mobile phone.
So DB's carer has just been, he is ready for bed and we will soon be turning in. Chap is coming tomorrow to sort the TV ariel. So there will be TV to watch. Its also my afternoon off, so I will be hitting the shops for various bits we need.
DB seems to be suffering from stress, he was awake for ages in the night, so of course I had to be awake too. His Meniers is playing up.
I did not get up early this morning decided to have a lie in so switched the alarm off. Packed stuff from the bathroom, cleaned out the dishwasher and sorted out some other bits.
Tomorrow is the day........... DD2 is coming at 9am, I will have to nip off with some stuff to let the chaps in with the wardrobe, they will ring when they are half an hour away, then they have to assemble it, cost me extra, but it's so much worth it.
Salmon and salad for supper before hopefully our coffee ladies arrive for coffee and a chat, then we retire up to the guest suite for the night.
I was shattered last night, not much sleep, hope tonight is better........I think some of DB's problems just now are due to stress. We will see once we are settled in.
May be off line for a couple of days, fingers crossed I manage to sort it out. Satellite will be sorted out on Wednesday.
Cheers for now.
We collected the keys for the bungalow this morning. The whole place had been cleaned and smelt quite fresh. I had taken frozen stuff for the freezer, filled 2 drawers. DB sat in one of the conservatory chairs whilst I had a look round. Lots of cupboard space in the kitchen and utility room. I discovered that bedrooms 3 & 2 had been listed wrong 3 was 2 and 2 was 3, so my sewing room is now at the front of the house rather than the back. One thing I did find peculiar, there were no toilet paper holders, so will have to look for an alternative. This has got to be a long term stay, no way can I do without a toilet paper holder!! There is no TV ariel, we are getting a dish up on Wednesday, I also need to have a butchers at the connection for the Internet. I think it needs to be plugged into the telephone line.
DB went to play scrabble this afternoon so another trip to the bungalow for me. The freezer is full in the kitchen, just the fridge stuff to move on Monday. I had a look in the garden, some nice stuff, but it will look better when I have had a go at it. I also found a place for the whirly, plenty of room for it to twisle round in the breeze.
We are having a ding dinner tonight, DB, Lasagna, me sweet and sour chicken. It was one of the scrabble ladies birthday, so we came away with 2 cup cakes.......yum yum, they will do for dessert.
A good sleep last night, hope tonight is the same, perhaps one trip to the bungalow to take a few more bits including the whisky and brandy decanters. By the time this move is over I will need a very big drink of some sort and it won't be tea!!!
Another night of broken sleep, so much swirling around in my head. No packers now till the final lift on Monday. All the kitchen cupboards are empty and have been cleaned out, just the cutlery draw to be done after lunch on Sunday and then the work surfaces cleaned down and the fridge cleaner to do. Sunday, I will strip the bed and take the sheets to Ferneley Crescent, they will go in the washer overnight and on the airer on Monday. I also want to take what I can out of the utility room and get it over to FC.
The new wardrobe is coming on Monday, the delivery chaps will assemble it, it comes in bits. No more walk in wardrobe to keep the clothes in. Coats will go in the cupboard in the hall.
I went down to Lidl this morning for some bits to carry us through to the next delivery on Wednesday. I did not buy any milk, but noticed that it was £1.65, Morrison have been charging £1.75 for about a month. I have several cartons of long life milk in the fridge and 6 have been packed.
Just having a quiet few minutes, before I start again.
I am getting fish and chips tonight, will nip to the shop just after 5pm, do not want to get stuck in a queue.
The temperature has gone up again, even the wind is warm. Will be glad when it cools down a bit.
Up since 7am, packers arrived just after 8am, they went half an hour ago, some of the furniture has gone as well as boxes full of stuff, yes we have too much........there will be another clear out once we get straight.
DD came with DGD and the boys, collected the airer and also the TV. It was bedlam for a while.
People have been dropping in to say they did not know we were moving.........we'll yes we are. I should have known better, we did try communal living some years ago........I should have remembered.
We now have 3 days to prepare for the actual move. I will be taking stuff down Saturday and Sunday, so less for them to move.
We still have not found the sewing machine box, I know it came with us, what happened to it I do not know. I will have to see if I can order one. I can still use it with the embroidery arm on, argghhĥ.
Very simple supper, poached egg on toast and rice pudding.
