What have we been up too?

Since we have been back so much has happened. It has been slightly crazy really! In the first 2 weeks we had bought a house and a car! 2 major purchase in 2 weeks was pretty good going we thought.
We have bought a ‘next stage in our married life car’ car, it is a 5 door child friendly car with vivid patterned seats ready for those spillage’s that occur when transporting mini tinkers. Izzie, our lovely niece, has already successfully traveled in it, her twiglet finger prints not showing up on the vibrant patterned chairs! Woo woo woo!

Our house is best described as a project. The house has some beautiful carpet and décor, a really delicious bathroom, a gorgeous kitchen, really beautiful fake wooden clad chimney breast, fantastic polystyrene ceiling tiles on all ceilings, a useful asbestos shed, varying styles and material of windows, 1960’s electric and an interesting arrangement of gas fired heaters. (Some of the positives here may have to be taken with a pinch of salt as we may be being slightly sarcastic!)
However there are several very exciting feature that our house has, stairs being one, 3 bedrooms and room for a dining room table.
No more clambering over the sofa to sit comfortably on a deckchair at the table when you come to the Selby’s house for dinner!
The most exciting thing of all though, is that it has potential to be a lovely family home for the Selbsters. And as it says on Nat’s CV her favourite phrase is ‘I’m going to set you a challenge’ and indeed with this house she has!
We have been thinking that it would be nice to document our struggles and triumphs on our journey of turning our home from just plain old okay to absolutely lovely, and thought perhaps we would utilise this ‘ere blog! So watch this spot…
