Following a weekend of trials and tribulations, boxes and knee deep mud we are finally ensconced within the four walls of our new trailer. And its bloody fabtastic!
Pictures will of course follow as soon as I can find the bally camera!
K and I actually managed to get through the weekend with only a few moments of raised voices - most of it coming from him. I have found in my current state of fatness I'm actually calmer in the face of adversity, rain and pee'd off husbands.
We, like many people, have a had a week of rain, which meant that outside the trailer became a quagmire of mud, so not only were we navigating around the mud each time we entered the trailer we had to remove our boots, this whole process wasn't helped by my inability to lift anything heavy. After the sixteenth, "don't lift it, leave it" we had a little chat and decided if I pulled things carefully I could assist. Most of the weekend was passed with K protectively saying "careful, don't" and me saying "shut up, I can manage". Which he did and I did.
Rosie and Tina were a little confused by the number of homes they have lived in over the last week, but soon settled in and are now looking forward to the cat flap man coming and fitting their new route to freedom.
We've had a few problems with SKY so have had to watch terrestrial TV - OWCH!!! I've said for the last four years that SKY was hundreds of channels of nothing worth watching, but at least occasionally there is something to watch. This last week has made me question the worth of our TV Licence - what a load a c**p!
Luckily the SKY man is visiting us tomorrow *sigh*.
Biggest news for this week though is that K is in a play. Yes, not me, but him. He has already told me he doesn't want my help to learn lines, but I know that revenge is a dish best served cold, with chocolate chip icecream! Rehearsals start tonight.
This weekend is the Wedding of Janey and Robert, friends from London. We travel down to Lichfield on Friday, K is best man, so he is getting up tight about his speech and I'm desperately trying to sort out his suit, which since giving up smoking no longer fits him. Luckily mum says she knows a trick with elastic - should be interesting!!!
All in all life is still fairly hectic, but enjoyable - How goes it on your side of the lily pad?
