It's a long time coming now but we are so happy. Unfortunately, seeing the best part of £30k leave our account was not so happy! haha
Hey Cav... what age are you?

No apology needed mate I just don't want to bore you (blush)

The funniest thing is Cav you have zero control over when the mini Cavs arrive those decisions are solely with Mrs Cav ;)

It's all just numbers on a balance sheet Cav, but the bricks and mortar are real. Be the best move you've made.

2 weeks ago last Friday myself and gfCav moved into our first home. 3 days of removing a chimney flue and woodchip. 1 day of fillering the damage caused. 4 days of painting (8 coats required in the bedroom to cover the filler properly). 2 days of painting and wallpapering the lounge. 1 day to fit new flooring in the bedroom and new skirting.

We have an idea for how the TV will be mounted to the living room wall involving our 3rd trip to Ikea.. going to create a floating wall with LEDs around the edge projecting onto the wallpaper.

Virgin 100mb broadband and TV getting installed in a couple of weeks too (Y)

Pictures will follow when I have broadband! haha
