Officially Moved in!

We officially moved into our new flat on Saturday, but that involved taking two van loads of stuff from the old house, and dumping it on the dining room floor before we left for Ben's parent's to pick up the furniture that they had stored for him. Its a four hour drive so we stayed there Saturday night and left to come back Sunday morning. We dropped of the furniture and went back to the old house to clean it, and did it ever need cleaning! We left at 9 to get a curry, came back to the new flat to shower and sleep, and then went back to finish the old house Monday morning. We turned in the keys to the old house around 11 Monday morning, a full 30 hours before they had to be turned in!

We have started setting up the new flat, the TV and stereo is set up, the kitchen is mostly unpacked, and the bedroom is pretty well done, although we are still living out of suitcases for a while yet. The dining room is still full of boxes and bags of packed stuff (mostly stuff that really should have been thrown out I suspect), but its all at one end of the room because we bought a second hand dining table that should be dropped off within the next hour. I can't wait, two days of eating all meals off of the lounge floor was enough. The last major thing we have to do is buy a sofabed for guests, but where ever we get it from it won't be delivered for at least a month, so I suspect we will be sitting on the floor for a while yet!
