Re: Moved into our house!
I'm here getting internet on a dongle, surrounded by boxes, but we're in our own home at last. Three years, I think, renting, moving through 3 locations.
It's a bit small, though it has enough rooms, so I'm calling it cosy, but we're here, with the fab. Devon coast view you see on my avatar!
Wish I knew how to do some wine glasses, as we've just celebrated with pizza and good wine, looking out toward Portland Bill in the far distance.

we are one month over a year back in the UK and it has taken that time to get everything together, but GW things are feeling really great, the teething problems are I hope behind us, so good luck and all the best

Re: Moved into our house!
Sorry to be out of touch. The dongle -- ably described by others -- didn't work to well on this computer, so I had to use the laptop in a better location. As I didn't have MBTUK bookmarked on it, I never got around to visiting. Plus, all those boxes to unpack etc!
BTW, I have a 3G mobile broadband PAYG because I it has the lowest monthly charge I could find. 10 pounds. As I don't use a lot of internet when traveling, which is my main use for it, I wanted to pay as little as possible. I paid a month when I was heading off to Canada and the States in June (only for the English parts of the journey as it doesn't really work abroad) and as it happens, the month expired today. Perfect timing!
Anyway, the house is shaping up. If we get the sunshine predicted for tomorrow, we might be able to sit out on the balcony in the evening, enjoying our new patio set.

Here's from the living room. We had to have new tiles and railings put on the balcony. We've finally unpacked most of the boxes, but we're still struggling to find a place for everything!

Wow Bevm, what a fabulous view! If I had that view I would never get anything done.

Yes, it's the view, though that pic is from the real estate brochure and I think they hung off the end of the balcony to get just that!

Re: Moved into our house!
That's an amazing view - you are very lucky but I don't need to tell you that ;-)
