We are now in our new house in Parkdale and have finally unpacked all the boxes. It was a bit of a manic weekend, what with the move, Jack's 18th Birthday and me starting my Personal Trainer course. I had spent the week packing all the boxes and having got the keys on Thursday afternoon, had shifted a lot already. But we had a man with a van (well, 2 men) coming at 12 to help with the heavy stuff like the sofas, washing machine, beds etc. But at 11.20am I got a text to say they couldn't come because of a death in the family! Luckily, Chris managed to find another company who arrived 2 hours later and it was action stations! In the evening, we had a lovely meal at Longrain with some of Jacks friends - the food was Asian fusion and was delicious.
Sam had a weeks trip to Canberra 2 weeks ago with school and last week had work experience , helping at an after school club called Kelly Sports with Primary aged children. So he was able to come with me to Ikea to buy and put together some wardrobes, draws, bookcase etc on Wednesday. He has officially started his new job at Bunnings with the new store opening tomorrow.
I am enjoying my course though today the guy taking it spoke really quickly and I found it difficult to understand what he was saying! I am able to get the same train as Jack and Sam, though we all sit in different sections of the train depending on where we need to get off :)
Will put some fotos on Flickr soon of the new house...
Love, love, love the photos of your new home - looks like home already and union jack bunting in kitchen is amazing! Glad the move went well and you all sound so busy. Hope the course is going well Caroline and you are enjoying the train journey.
ReplyDeleteSummer has disappeared again in Romsey :-( but we are all enjoying the Olympics and team GB are doing very well at moment - hope you are all managing to watch some of the olympics.
Hope Sam's new job is going well - Jess has just been offered a job at the Abbey Hotel working in the kitchen and doing some chambermaid duties - she is very excited and starts work on Sunday :-) Has been so hard for her to get part time work as no-where in Romsey is taking part time people on.
Hope Jack has recovered from his 18th birthday celebtrations - another one of Emily's friends turned 18 this week so they went off to Oceana on Tuesday night to celebrate and arrived home at 5 am - shocking :-)
Girls are enjoying their summer holidays - doing very little apart from watching olympics!
Love to all and delighted that you are all settled in your new house, Lisa xxxxx
