We did it!! Hello new house, I think I need to name 'her'? Create a hashtag or something for all the renovations? We're exhausted after yesterdays move and both a bit under the weather but today we started ripping out built in wardrobes, the bathroom, stripping wallpaper and ripping out carpets {to reveal gorgeous original floorboards underneath yay!}. Absolutely everything needs renovating and updating. It's not awful by any means but a lot of the character is hiding right now which we want to restore in {some serious} style. It was built back in the 1700s and the people we bought from have been there for the past forty years. This is just a very quick post from me right now to let you have a nose at the photos before we start {I ran in and snapped these before the removal men started unloading} but I'll be back soon to talk about our plans for it all as well as some progress photos, it looks so different already! Thank you also for all your lovely lovely messages. R <3 xx 

It's official, we're moving tomorrow!! {remember this post right back in November when our offer first got accepted?!} An end of an era, our 2CL, so so many memories and happy times and a whole whole lot of love for this house.

Wow, what a week. Compared to my last post where we couldn't have been more stressed out, things got a lot lot worse when our lender pulled out on Saturday {right before we were meant to exchange!}. Cue a ridiculously horrible weekend with my incredible, incredible parents who managed to sort everything out. By Sunday night we were feeling ok about the financial side of things but on Monday it was another whirlwind with the top of the chain still threatening to pull out because the bottom of our chain weren't going to be ready in time..

Bit of a later edit of my usual Friday post today. Yesterday was so seriously stressful I couldn't bear to stay home, I just had to keep myself out and busy! Yep, we still haven't exchanged. A ridiculous week with over 23 phone calls most days to solicitors and estate agents. Living in limbo land goes on! I had a kind of anxiety attack about the whole thing last night, I think it all just caught up with me. I can't even bear to talk about it right now {what will be will be etc} so let's discuss about some nicer things instead? Because now it's the weekend!
