It's been a while!

I'm back, finally, it's taken a while for me to get around to posting.....we're still not really 'sorted' in our new abode but we're getting there. Builders still here and a lot of the house is unusable BUT my little haven of peace is coming along nicely, no-where near 'complete' but I'm working on it. Only thing is, every time I shut myself away to 'work on it' I find myself going online....in the name of research, obviously (!) and not much 'working on it' goes on! Here's some pics :)

Our New Home........

We went to see our new home today to see how things were progressing. At the beginning of the week it looked like we would be moving in on monday with no water or heating :O
Well, it resembled an episode of DIY SOS......I've never seen so many builders in a house at one time!
Carpets all laid on top two floors, though my bedroom has a toilet smack bang in the middle of it waiting to go into the en-suite....the plumber is working all over the weekend so hopefully by monday it'll be in it's proper place.
We've been asked if we want any of the curtains that used to hang at the windows when the house was a hotel, I have no idea what they are like but as I've been a little concerned about what to do about the windows as they are so huge.....curtains? blinds? Definitely NO nets curtains....so, we'll see what the curtains are like, they'll 'do' for now....would be lovely if they are nice vintage florals.....although they may be chintsy with swags!! :O

Anyway, we're surrounded by packing boxes....and it seems never ending...where does all the 'stuff' come from?

Oh and we met the neighbours...one of whom is a Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator.......

P.S. Hello number one stalker, nice to see you ;) (you know who you are :)xx

Day 9....Today's photo

Broadstairs beach this morning at 7.15am......Beautiful!

Just when you think......

your life is going pear shaped and there is so much stressing you out.....and you're getting REALLY fed up, life seems to have a way of telling you "Ha, so you think your life is stressfull ....you think you're having a tough time eh?" and shows you that really....it's not so bad.
This morning, on my usual 'papers and coffee' run I was walking along the seafront feeling a little bit stressed and overwhelmed thinking about my very imminent house move....and all the 'stuff' I still have to do....and to be honest,feeling a bit sorry for myself.
I spotted a lady I've worked with on occasion at the Tourist Information Kiosk....I do voluntary work there once a week in the summer. She was having a coffee on the balcony of a seafront hotel, anyway, she called me over asking me if I had a moment to chat.
Over a coffee and ciggie she told me that last week she'd had a fire at her house and her and her husband were living at the hotel until the insurance company sorted them suitable accomodation whilst the house was being sorted.
She was wearing borrowed clothes, and had lost everything....apart from a Calender Girls style calender her husband had had made for her for Christmas with pics of him!!
I went home and bagged up all the clothes I don't need/wear and dropped them off at the hotel .......

It certainly put my worries into perspective.........
