Well after a long break, with the move from Cyprus to England, we are finally settled.
It has taken some time, our biggest problem was finding some one to rent to us with the dogs. They allow children but not dogs, one wonders why this is the case, some..note some, children can do far more damage than dogs. Anyhow finally found a cute bungalow, with two bedrooms, conservatory, garage, workshop, and potting shed a manageable garden. Very close to the coast so ideal for walking the dogs.
Our container arrived and with some help from family was unloaded in just 40 minutes, wow!! Then the unpacking began. It has been an expensive expercise, as we needed to buy a cooker, our fridge freezer, a tall one wouldn’t fit in the kitchen so we had to buy an under counter fridge, and a freezer to stick in the garage. Also we needed a new sofa, one of ours was not at it’s best, a new dining table, as we couldn’t risk bringing the marble one from Cyprus, it may have got broken. A new bed, one of ours had seen its bed, the mattresses were fine so that saved a few pennies. A new hoover, got the Dyson 25 for animals, the one with the ball, it is brilliant. I could suck harder than the one we have in Cyprus, it was awful, I used to have to get down on my hands and knees to do the mats, and it would take about 15 minutes to do one. Anyway well impressed with the new one, we have the two dogs and the cat, so it is important to be able to hoover up all the hair.
We also had to get a new car. We managed to pick a 2002, Golf which is a smashing little car, just what I wanted a small car with 4 doors for getting the animals and my grand daughters in and out of.
We are all most sorted out now, just bits and pieces to put away. It has been a stressful time, but hopefully now we can settle down and enjoy being back home, near the family, where we are needed……
