still not got Internet connection in the new house and its been hard updating the blog.Thinking of going with sky for TV phone and Internet will have to sort it out asp .

The house is coming on fine and we have just had electric and gas payment metres installed to big bills and demands dropping through the letter box. The washer is working after the door wouldn't shut when it was plumbed in we got a new machine to replace it which is working fine .

So its 2009 and hopefully its going to be a great year , i have been to court last Monday and i might end up with nothing from the house i left with my x wife she could get the whole of the house i will have to wait and see.Twenty years and not one penny i wont be bitter life goes on i am still working and i wont be paying maintenance for ever i hope my Son goes to college and gets a well paid job when he leaves this summer .

We are buying a range style cooker for £500 that retails for £1399 the two ring hob i bought of eBay the biggest of the two rings has already burnt out , we do now have a slow cooker and a deep fat fryer which Helen has done a chicken stew and braising steak with dumplings.

Helen has cut the hedge at the front of the house and is waiting to tackle the grass once its dry enough Helen has plants and trees and shrubs waiting to go in to the garden at the front and rear .

We need the kitchen wall and chimney breast opening up , we then can start to plan the kitchen and dinning room area start buying and fitting kitchen units and work tops,get the dishwasher and cooker in and working.
