Cause For Celebration!

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Thu Oct 23, 2014 9:34 pm

Well peeps, after many months of conveyancing, we've (Royal 'we') bought our first house. The fun and games of decorating and moving has already begun.

Internet has been switched off, so am using the wife's phone as a modem for the time being. While supping an ale or two, of course. So, c'mon. Bars open! :smt003

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Awesome

When's the house warming?


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Well, the moving is going as well as can be expected. The house itself is pretty straight, so not much to do. Kitchen modifications and a bathroom re-fit is about all that needs to be done. Apart from the usual painting and wall papering of course.

Garage to be built, but I've been able to keep hold of the workshop, so not massive rush. I'll eventually get everything down here, but all in good time.

House warming.. Watch this space. :smt002 :smt003
