MAKING PROGRESS BUT SLOWLY .

FRIDAY - I know I keep mention buying and ordering items , of course we are trying to do it all on a budget and we try and save and get discount or buy items that have been reduced in store .We are only buying what we need and not things for the sake of it this is our forever home and its a new build house of course we want it to look right and feel right and project a nice cosy home .Ikea is a good send for us apart from the flat pack and number of boxes the build quality is fine for us and of course end of day we realise you get what you pay for better people than us shop at Ikea .

I really need a good nights quality sleep don’t seem to be getting more than four hours I get home at around quarter to three a.m.  and get up at around half past six seven o clock it is catching up and I am constantly yawning and doing my best to get motivated at work it aint easy .

Left to build one double bed , two bed side cabinets and a drawer unit all in the spare bedroom .

two plate racks that got delivered to day for the dining area  . A chest of drawers for our bedroom which  once assembled will make it complete .

The bathroom is complete  when we get delivered a wall cabinet unit and towel ladder , we do need to buy a bigger blind for the kitchen Helen's measuring aint great .

for the living room t.v cabinet big enough to sit the t.v on  top it is going next to the side of the stairs.

We are lucky and extremely grateful for all we have  we have a new home in a great location , there is numerous reservoirs and moor land farms and forests to walk through , there are numerous farm shops , inns and restaurants serving really great tasting food , we wont ever get feed up of living where we live and will appreciate every day spent here , it has took us years to get to our destination we have had lucky breaks and there as been a load of what ifs but we made it we are happy and we are living our dream cant get better than that.
We have our front of house back the skip got lifted this afternoon its a mazing how much stuff I got into such a small skip 40 cubic metres I think it hold made use of every square inch it was nice to see the back of it .


Put two long shelves under the stair case using eight brackets and four shelves I supported them with wood underneath clued into with liquid nails to help the hollow fixings support the weight more easily so far they are solid .


The router I was on to BT about  not turning up Tuesday came today I was out they are supposed to go through your letter box I have to pick it up from the Royal mail  sorting office on the Saturday morning , assuming that is what they tried to deliver not sure if it is will have to wait and see .


Bought a white metal twin recycle bin for the kitchen it as separate compartments for your  domestic household waste and our recycled waste items .


Took Bailey out this morning the sun was out we walked down to Hade Edge Reservoir  the country side and forests looked nice with the sun out need to get a back pack and some walking boots and do some exploring .The cats are both still under house arrest might leave it another week before even considering letting them go out , the person behind us keeps chickens hopefully the cats wont bother them .
