Well, we're in!

Just a quick post to say we're now safely installed in the house and slowly getting rid of boxes. We're both absolutely exhausted (two hour journeys to Horsham in the snow don't help) but loving our new surroundings. Definitely has that 'camping' feel, not quite knowing where anything is or where to put anything, and the current challenge is attempting to get rid of the 'old lady' smell in the carpet. So far it's been treated with Neutradol and Oust! The carpet won't be a long-term fixture but I'd like to be able to walk into the house without heaving in the meantime.

To add to the big week we also had our 20 week scan today - all looks fine, so fingers crossed the second half of the pregnancy will continue as smoothly as the first. Baby was a bit shy about showing his/her face and definitely endorsed ours (Nick's) decision not to know the gender by keeping his/her legs firmly crossed throughout the whole thing. Thanks to everyone who's dropped us congratulations messages on Facebook - really appreciated.

First proper job will be the bathroom (approximately the size of a doll's shoebox) so photos and design plans coming up in the next few days. Also, as soon as we're probably hooked up to broadband I'll upload the photos I took on moving day - the 'befores'!

Take care,

Lily x
