First night
Somehow it’s become my job to add the detail about the first few days in the house. I’m still not sure how! Maybe it’s because I am so slack at writing most other blogs which means Mike pips me at the post. But anyway, here’s the first instalment for your reading pleasure.
The first night in the house, we resorted to stretchers. We arrived about lunch time after a frenetic time and then we had a brief handover with the project manager, who I think was quite happy to hand us the keys. After all my nagging and pointing out of minor and major things that we were not happy with, I think he was pleased to let us move in and give him a ‘big’ list later for them to fix. But all in all it was very exciting. It’s been a very long time coming for us (for those of you following the blog on a regular basis you will have some idea of just how long). But the time waiting, on reflection (even though I was very impatient through the process), has been worthwhile.
Now we just have to work on having a decent night sleep… Something of which I hate to add has been affected by the first week being a full moon (I never used to believe the moon affected people, but since being back in NZ I have noticed my lack of sleep appears to be around full moon time – I might add I normally don’t click till after the full moon has passed!)
And you will be pleased to know the stretcher sleeping only spanned one night. Which is just as well, as chances of getting a cuddle on side to side stretchers is just about nil. The next morning our new furniture and our long awaited belongings from London arrived. But of course that’s a whole other story!
We are really here, yes we are, and as weird as it is the waits i over and its all ours!
