winter weather

Well the rain has finally washed away the snow ..... until the next time.

I can't believe how unprepared we are in the U.K. in comparison to Canada.... the whole town came to a standstill on Tuesday because of the snow this continued for almost a week before the snow started to melt and the black ice fun began!!



The snow has also meant a trip to the vets for our lovely Boxer Zeb. He cut his back paw quite badly and needed an operation :-(

He felt really sorry for himself for a few days but is back on form now !! Yey !!! The challenge now is to keep him a calm so he does not pull his stitches out - any Boxer dog owners will know this is near impossible.

let the viewings begin

I was laid watching T.V. this afternoon in my slobs, suffering slightly after all the festive cheer when the estate agents called to see if I would be willing to do a viewing tomorrow!!

Of course I said YES tomorrow morning would be fine....

After I put the phone down it dawned on me that Lee hadn't finished painting the kitchen / dining room before he left for work..

What a hangover cure eh?

About 20 Min's later the estate agent called back to say that she had a second viewer for tomorrow if I was available..... in for a penny eh?

So I have two viewings booked in, not bad to say its only been up for a week and that's been over Christmas too.

Wish me luck xxx

Merry Christmas

The for sale sign went up outside the house yesterday - woo hoo

I'm glad that our last Christmas in the UK will be a white one. Can't believe that this time next year we will be living our dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm working tomorrow (Christmas Day) cant believe people want to complain about their phone bills on Christmas day - that's certainly something I wont miss next year!!

Lee is working away all through Christmas and missing him loads already, off to my mum's for lunch once Ive finished work.

Merry Christmas Everyone, hope its a good one xxx

House has been valued....

We have had the house valued and was pleasantly surprised to see that even in the recession the value hadn't dropped as much as we thought - woo hoo!!!

We have decided to use a local agent who seems to be on a roll selling similar types of properties in our area.

They will be out to do the photographs tomorrow so better leave you all for now and get the hoover out!!
