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. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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!)<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

We are really here, yes we are, and as weird as it is the waits i over and its all ours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
