moving home

what a pain in the arse!

I spent the last 9 days moving to my new house and cleaning out the old one ready for handing back to the defence estates. It's been a long ol slog and the old house still has a lot of work to be done as everything has to be left spotless! The cooker has to be completely carbon free, easier said than done. (it took me 3 days with cleaning utensils and a stanly blade to clean it to the required standard. lol) Only have to give it a quick once over now though and that will be it finnished though.

the new house is nice though. 3 bedroom (slightly bigger rooms than the last one), my own drive and garage (which is being used as a shed till we get everything sorted) and a large garden, all for £200 ish PCM. lol so i can't complain too much.

I'll get some pics at lunch and fire them up for you all to see.

lol, I'll get a RR BBQ sorted out for the summer but I'll need show no shows for it as it's the sort of event that'll cost me money and drop me in the shit with the wife for not asking her about it first. PMSL!

FPMSL no mate these are the pics i took when i got told i was moving there. The Mondeo is still down at work, it's been sat for 5 weeks now so i went to start it up and to my supprise it started without hesitation on the first turn of the key! lol (hate to say it but it's a very good car for a ford) I'll be booking it in the garage next month to get the brakes done though as I'm making more of an effort getting rid of the coupe now.
