It’s official, it’s happening! (hopefully) OK so things have gone wrong so many times I still have caution and disbelief, but today we exchanged contracts which make the sale legally binding. If either party pulls out now they’re liable to losing their deposits…

Yesterday was the first day of our two-weeks off work. We’d initially booked these weeks off to go travelling in Thailand – but as always, life doesn’t quite go to plan sometimes. The money allocated to travelling became a security blanket for all…

This is the smallest of two bedrooms and when I say small.. I mean small. You’d actually struggle to comfortably fit a bed and anything else in here! The ‘bed’ made-up is actually a blow-up mattress. If you’ve ever slept on these, you’ll know…

Today is Monday. Monday is when people go back to work after a fabulous weekend off… Monday is the day my solicitor-chasing job begins again. This makes me stressed and angry and frustrated and I’m still no closer to answers on WHAT THE…

The last two weeks have been pretty jam-packed in the puppy world. Doug had his final jabs, discovered the outside world and also we had our first (and hopefully last!) item loss due to his teething/chewing phase. Unfortunately this was some of Grants uber sexy and expensive…

Welcome to my kitchen, this is probably my favourite room of the house, and is also the room we improved and changed the most. It’s nothing too fancy but it was pretty darn cheap and it does the job. Biggest save – we have no wall cabinets….

I think I’m going to continue this puppy progress diary until 16weeks(?) with 2 weeks at a time. Then maybe I’ll do monthly or two-monthly updates. In the last 2 weeks Doug has learnt to climb stairs.. He could only go up the first 3 at…

He’s getting so big he’s almost dog-size! Feeling slightly nostalgic at his puppyness even though it was only a few weeks ago! He still has a fair way to go until he’s full size, but he’s sure getting there swiftly. I remember saying to Grant…

This weekend was what I call FAT-WEEKEND. Where eating twice the amount of daily calories is not only normal but required. We each chose our own Easter Egg and then bought a few smaller bits to share, although Grant did surprise me with a few…
