Not as bad as thought as they are all very nice here, and made this a light day to get me into the swing of things. So have sat at computer and gone through thousands of emails.
Actually quite restful really.
My Wed day off has been finalised, so only actually work 2 wednesdays – not bad! Monday is an early home day [about 3pm] and Tues a late to work day [- 9am!] every 4th Friday off as well, so things OK.
Sorry about all the self centred wibbling. I’m just a greedy bugger who wants to have cake and to eat it!
Moving
Well, with the sterling help of my parents, things aren’t as bad as they could be. the kitchen stuff is in and sorted, most of SB’s toys and clothes. BB’s clothes are AWOL, mine are mostly sorted and ? about Chris’s. DIning room full of books and computer stuff – as still not got that sorted properly, though Chris says he has arranged broadband. Guinness looks like definitely gone, I hope he has found a kitchen to attatch to. SB has decided he has gone adventuring, and will come back and tell us all about it one day.
House itself will need a lot of work over time, but is absolutely fine for now. Humoungous in fact, and I’m really happy with it. Garden and patio are gorgeous, and we are open for visitors! [in fact I'm off next wed] I like the bells from the church – they ring every quarter of an hour. The road is way busier than I thought, and I hope there arent too many live bands at the pub! When feel flush, could replace the patchy secondary glazing with some heavy duty stuff that is more soundproof though.
Family
Well, have phoned home and they all seem fine. SB very excited to hear from me. She’s not so happy for me to be at work but as Daddy at home, I’m sure she will quickly get used to it. The beans are going for a taster at nursery this pm and then start on Thurs. Luckilly BB has decided that she will partake in a few drops of EBM from a bottle, so thats a relief. We were supposed to fill out a plan of her day, but since we don’t have one, can’t decided whether just to make something up, or admit to planlessness!!
SB was very happy when climbing frame was put up in the garden, especially as we have added the extension bits so really rather high! Also cycling round the garden. A nuisance that one bit of path too narrow, so we will have to do that. She likes this house, especially the jacuzzi! I don’t understand why even with a bigger bed chris and I are perched at the very edge though? Bit better nights sleep though, and SB not complaining so much of her ear hurting. In fact it was BB keeping me up with the munchies.
SB not watched telly since Friday, and hasn’t asked for it either – its in a different room. So that has to be good. Ditto for me as well. Not really done much ‘education’ though read lots of books, planted some bedding and discussed weaning and suitable BB foods.
Did go to Stagecoach on Saturday though, which she did like. Though apparently dancing with ‘parteners’ is not the same as ballet, so she would still like a ballet class! Looks like there may be a rainbows in the village to investigate, as an easy way to meet local friends. I would like to find a gym group though to carry on with, as she has really enjoyed that, so ballet may have to take a miss for the moment, unless one in the village.
Thats it really. I’m not sure what I will blog in the future though, as relegated to secondary carer, you can’t really blog what someone else has done with your children!
Am going to wander round the ring now.
and we have a lot of boxes…….
