Today we moved into Sunflower Cottage in Hedge End after much waiting and messing around. The whole process was like walking on ice, never knowing when something may happen. Even this morning when we were preparing to move out of our borrowed accommodation (thanks Dave & Katie) we got a phone call from our solicitor saying some important paperwork hadn't been signed! When I phoned back with fax numbers I was then told that the keys were at the Estate Agents and that we could pick them up! What happened to the important papers that must be signed?? Oh well - Lottie, Flo and I (the boys were at school) went to pick up the keys very excited about getting into our new home.
Unfortunately when we arrived at Foord Road with keys in hand at around 11am the road was full of trucks, one ours and two the previous owners - aaaargh!! There was nothing we could do but wait... and wait... until 3pm!! Crazy - and then we had to go and get the boys from school.
Still it was great to get in to our new house and start setting up home. We are only the third owners of the property since it was built in 1900 so people obviously stay here a long time!
It's a lovely house with an amazing garden and we can't wait to start making it our own. Just one question - who invented woodchip wallpaper? It's everywhere...
