Well last Sunday they moved into their flat. It was hard work moving stuff out of here and then up to the flat which is up a couple of flights of stairs! Luckily it didn't rain and we managed to get it all done by about lunch time. We met their landlord who lives in the main part of the manor house, he's really friendly and nice. We left about 4 pm so we could come back and do dinner as mum came and looked after the dog for us (after she'd helped move some stuff in and make some tea and coffee) The kids came back for dinner as they were so tired, then they went back home. It's very strange not having them here so much, even though she'd been spending more time at his mum's lately. They both had the Monday off work and did some shopping and sorted things out. We went up there on Wednesday and it looks lovely, they've got it nice and tidy and it really does look good. We saw Kelly yesterday in town as she was on lunch. On Tuesday we started moving things around. We put the desks and computers upstairs in what was Kelly's room, then we moved the bed in, the kitchen is back to how it should be, with just the dining table at the one end now so we can move around a bit easier! We emptied our old room and then started stripping it as Steven had bought some new paper for it. On Wednesday Steven and Hannah finished off the stripping and painted some woodwork in there. On Thursday Barry and Steven decorated, Barry did most of the work while Steven pasted the paper, he was hoping to learn how to paper it but when he tried he was saying it was too hard lol!! By 6 pm the room was done! It looks amazing, they moved the bed in and then started sorting through all the rubbish that he'd hidden under the bed! They moved the rest of the stuff in on Friday and did some tidying up, we moved Kelly's big wardrobe and our old one into the spare room and put the mattress on the floor. Steven finished his room off yesterday, he'd bought a new desk and his old one, which didn't really look much like a desk, is now in the spare room with a lamp on and a little basket that has samples of showergel, shampoo etc... for any guests we have!! We just have the lounge to rearrange now but will wait so Barry can have a rest as he's really aching! We called Mandy yesterday and are working out hwo we can get up to see her this year, at the moment it looks like it will be April, just after Katie's birthday! I've enquired about a caravan nearby and we'll split the cost with Steven and Hannah as they want to come too.
