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?

....23 and already buying a house??

Whatever you're doing, you must be doing it right.

Honestly Cav your better not getting me on my rant but thanks for asking pal it is appreciated.

Concentrate on making your new place a perfect home for you and the missus and then some little Cavs when the time is right

@D41 Thanks mate, we've been saving for a long time and I'm fortunate with my life decisions.. apprenticeships are the way forward (Y)

@Blade Ah okay, sorry.. I do hope it all gets sorted though and soon. Aha, pi$$ off with the little Cavs.. my family already give me enough sh!t for not sowing my seed yet!

@Rossgo Thanks super eager to get in there now

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

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

And when they do arrive your lovely nice new house becomes a disaster zone!

Enjoy!

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

Thanks for the encouragement guys!!

Well our birth control is condoms so unless she starts pricking holes in them I should be fine - that said, condoms are effing terrible!!

Hide the needles or she still has control

Congratulations mate. I hope you're both very happy in your new home.

Thanks for that fascinating insight to your procreation habits.

You're welcome

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

you've done more to your house in 2 weeks than I've done in 20 years.

House-shaming is not my goal

It will slow down but I had 2 weeks off work so we just cracked on (Y)
