Hurray - it works 27/11/07

The house is clear, just borrowed the washing machine for one last wash. The keys are being handed back on Thursday and then the last ties are cut to the 'normal' world. Got home in the dark again, its a long drive to where the boat is but it is so worth it when you get HOME. John finally managed to ensure all the connections to the ranges fuel pump are secure and 'Oh my god - heat at last'. It is finally feeling like our home and not some mad adventure that we have embarked on.
We celebrated with a stella, glass of wine (can't remember - was so happy). I managed to cook my husband a meal while we were listening to the radio and later on watched a DVD. We had brought a few more things out of storage and are getting very skilled in finding places to put things - also getting rid of things that aren't really needed.
It was so lovely sitting in our new home, well fed and well watered, the dogs sleeping like contented children - this has definitely got to be the life. Can't wait for the weekend, Mum is going home and it will just be to two of us. (not that I'm pleased to see her go, but we need to manage without her).
Still can't get away from Northampton until Wednesday next due to the lock being closed - but who cares - what's the rush!!!!!
