h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The contents of a plastic bag of essentials that we picked up en route to our new house last night

Quite an anxious afternoon waiting for funds to clear - in fact we'd given up and were on the way home when we got the phone call.

But we got there about 6 pm. Opened my last bottle of Luxembourg champers, Dai had brought camping seats to sit in, and had prepared a special playlist on the iPod, starting with Our House (the Crosby Still Nash and Young version, not Madness...)and brought the speakers.


Right! Lots to do now

But what are wagon wheels? Real wheels? Big hats? Food?

Food, i belive! But I must add theres strong scientific evedence that there not....

Mr T and I wish you gazillions of happiness in your new house

oooOOOOooo me tooo! I forgot cus we was talking about waggonwheels

in the new house

*starts the "aren't Wagon Wheels small these days" conversation*

Yeah, I meant to say too...

(the image wouldn't show, but have gathered it's edible, whatever it is...)

Must go over home once things have settled down to see the new place.

So how did the move go?

Everything in its proper place - and no ricked backs, I hope?

Well, we have a wall planner that covers the next 3 weeks and all the activities in respect of putting in flooring, painting, bits of plumbing, burglar alarm, doorbell etc before we can move the furniture in.

My son was round yesterday and gave Dai a hand in making a doorway into the crawl space under the stairs (fantastic storage opportunities).

And we've already had the nasty letter from the TV licence people demanding to know why we haven't got a licence for that address

DD, you're more than welcome anytime you're in town.

Lang mae yer lum reek.

(sorry about spelling)

I'm hoping to be over towards the back end of March.

"And we've already had the nasty letter from the TV licence people demanding to know why we haven't got a licence for that address"

Excellent! The very minute the letterbox is built thay've started!

I always transfer mine when I'm moving in. And they still manage to always send out a letter addressed to the occupier in the first few weeks.

Ditto the TV license thing. And gawd help you if you are one of the lepers who (gasp) don't own a TV set. They will hound you every month. ("are you really really really sure you don't have some receiving equipment hidden away somewhere? Ah go on, you know you do- give us all your money, you can't beat us, we're super duper efficient we are- we'll find you and your TV and then we'll send you to prison for 95 years and fine you and all your decendants for the next 3 generations, £4 million"). Twaats

Not made any concrete plans to come back over beatrice, but as i can't seem to keep away from NI for very long, I expect i'll be back within a couple months to see your new digs
