So, To Sum It All Up - December Summary.

Hi!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Another month, another year (!) and therefore another Summary. Make yourself a brew and make yourself comfortable and (hopefully) enjoy...

CHRISTMAS!!!
 

I love Christmas, as you all know, and if you don't then where have you been?

 It really is the best time of the year.

I did lots of Christmassy things in December to build up the anticipation for the big day and spend time with my lovely family and friends.

The "three days of Christmas" as it were or Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day as normal people refer to it, were absolutely brilliant. I had an amazing time and I hope all of my family and friends did too. I hope you had an awesome Christmas as well and that you enjoyed some time out.
Also, massive thanks to my family for my lovely gifts and cards - I really am so fortunate - I hope you liked yours.

Moving House...

Yes, applause please, because we finally moved house in December. We didn't move on the 1st like I had originally said on this here blog but we did move on the 5th. For real.

Moving house was an experience which took up more or less the whole of 2014 for me in some way or another and it seemed fitting in a way that we moved in December - like the end of the year, end of the moving house thing... That made sense in my head... Probably not in an actual sentence... Move on.

I didn't blog much about the move very much when we actually did move, but I may do a big guide type thing in the next few weeks - eyes peeled and all that jazz.

However, you may be interested in (THIS) post and/or (THIS) post from earlier last year concerning the move...

Supporting Charities...

Text Santa was on ITV in December.

Sadly, I was unable to do a post about it but I hope that some of you provided support if you could and you enjoyed the evening of lovely programming that they provided to urge you to help them out.

It was a brilliant one this year and it is such a great cause.

Spending time with Family and Friends.

I did lots with family in friends last month including lunches, celebrations, get togethers, going to Pantomime, giving and receiving gifts and all round having such a lovely time.

I love how December brings even more fun times with family and friends (I am very lucky to have them) and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as me!

My Favourite Blog Posts From November.

Most of the reason this post has been delayed is that I was struggling to choose my favourite posts because everyone's posts were so fabulous in December.

I need to get this post out, I am starting to feel that I will be letting you down so I just think it will be easier to link all of my favourite blogs' December archive...

A Rosie Outlook (HERE)

Charlotte's Web (HERE)

What Olivia Did (HERE)

Little Winter (HERE)

Made Up Of Little Things (HERE)

I will add in the category below as I did in November to make up for a lack of detail...

Two of My Favourite Songs of December.

Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, (LISTEN HERE)

This song is so, so good, catchy and such a great sound. I think it is a brilliant combination of inspiration from some years ago (music wise) and the modern day (lyrically). Love.

Fairytale of New York by The Pouges and Kirsty McColl, (LISTEN HERE)

I know this is a bit unseasonal for January but since December is the month of Christmas, how could a Christmas song not take a top spot here? So, whether you listen or not, I would like to say that I love this song - it is my favourite Christmas song and it is just awesome...

So, I hope you enjoyed this post everyone. January is a brilliant month and while my blogging start is delayed, I hope you are all having a Happy New Year so far! 

What were your favourite parts of December? What did you think of what I got up to? Did you enjoy the posts I recommended? What about the songs? Any thoughts about this or suggestions for future posts? Why not let me know in the comments. 

Speak to you all soon lovely people.

Have an unbelievably fabulous day!

So, To Sum It All Up - October Summary.

Hi!!!

Welcome to my October Summary. I am aware it is a few days behind where it would usually be but I have been very busy! I know its no excuse, but I think that maybe it might be OK? Anyway, lets get on with this shiz.

Travelling!

During October I was travelling in Normandy for around 4 days non-stop and then came home and went to London nearly straight away!

Being in Normandy, especially in the year of numerous war anniversaries, to see cemeteries, a number of D-Day Landings museums and activities and spending time with a bunch of awesome people was really a very memorable, special and enjoyable experience.

 I was exhausted when I got home as we began our travel very, very early in the morning and basically did not stop until we got home very, very late after 4 days but it was so truly worth it.

While in London, I spent time with my brilliant family and went to see the beautiful poppy installation at the Tower of London. I had a great time and I really enjoyed myself. It was very relaxing and my sleep was "repaired".

Getting a New Follower on BlogLovin'!

I hadn't checked my BlogLovin' or my emails in quite some time and when I did the other day, I got the delightful surprise of a new follower! I now have 3 followers, which may not seem like many in comparison to some other blogs, but you have no idea how much it means to me.

Thanks to everyone who follows my blog on Blogger, BlogLovin' and everyone else who reads this blog. I hope you enjoy it.

You can follow my blog on BlogLovin' using the button on the right hand side.

Watching Charity Telethons.

I love a good charity telethon and I view it as a very easy and enjoyable way of helping out some amazing causes.

Stand Up to Cancer was on Channel 4 during October and I was watching, laughing and occasionally crying at the stories shown. It was a great night of telly and it is such a good cause to support.

To see a post about Stand Up to Cancer, mosey on over (HERE).

Appreciating a Bit of Advertising.

You guys know I love a good advert and October produced some pretty good adverts.


One of my personal favourites was the SSE advert featuring the orangutan discovering all of the beautiful things energy can do.
It was innovative, interesting and very wonderfully done.


To see a post I wrote about this advert, see (THIS).


Halloween Fun-Times.


Halloween, as I always say, is not just about creepy, spooky things. To me, it is about having fun with friends, dressing up and being silly.

This year, I spent time with the fabulous Elf Girl and some of her family, watched movies and ate too chicken and popcorn and really enjoyed myself.

Nearly Completely Moving House.


We are finally super close to moving, with the final stages in motion and it is exciting. We are looking forward to moving in and enjoying our new home at last.


I will update you when we have made our official move and will possibly provide more updates as we enter the final stages of the move.


To see the most recent post I did on moving, see (HERE).


My Favourite Blog Posts From October.


"A weekend in the Cotswolds" on A Rosie Outlook, (HERE).


I really like places like the Cotswolds, and I love spending weekends and short breaks like this - big, long walks, pub lunches/dinners and cosy evenings - and loved Rosie's friend's home.


An enjoyable read, indeed.


"Berlin" on Charlotte's Web, (HERE).


This post included brilliant photography of the beautiful city of Berlin and a couple of very cool insights into some of the best things going on there, as well as Charlotte's personality.

A cool, wanderlust-y post.


"We liked: The Start of Autumn" on Little Winter, (HERE).


I really liked the simplicity of this post and the warmth that it gave me reading it. I too enjoy cosy evenings and trashy TV, which made this post relatable.

A nice lifestyle post which will make you want to drink hot chocolate.


"Love in Unexpected Places" on The London Project, (HERE).


This post is charming and incredibly sweet. I am a complete sucker for things like this and found this post a bit great, really.


A quirky, cute post worth a view.


See also "Postman's Park".


"5 Minutes With... Dawn O'Porter" on What Olivia Did, (HERE).


I love reading interviews and this was a quick, interesting read with lots of talk about all thing vintage and fashion.

A fun interview with a lot of Sixties moments.

So, I hope you enjoyed this post everyone. I thought October was a pretty ace month and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

What were your favourite parts of October? What did you think of what I got up to? Did you enjoy the posts I recommended? Any thoughts about this or suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments.

So, To Sum It All Up - July Summary.

Hi!!!


Another month, another summary. I have no idea where the time is going because apparently, we're already on August. Can someone please explain to me what is happening here? Is it the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff? If you got that reference, then go you!

Beginning to Move Our Stuff To The New House.


So, after such a long time of perfecting the house, we've finally started moving our things in a transit van and now have an actual sofa in the new house (as opposed to a row of garden chairs) and have put clothes into the wardrobes IKEA delivered and assembled as well as making the beds. It's all coming together and there is only one room to complete now and some more pieces to move.

Exciting times, especially considering that I can near enough guarantee we'll be moving this month!

To see all of my posts about moving house, (HERE), (HERE), (HERE) and (HERE).


Enjoying Going Out and Spending Time In The Sunshine.

Something I have no corresponding posts to link up with is spending time in the sun. And I don't mean sunbathing - I'm ginger, therefore pale, therefore no.

No, what I mean is spending time doing things, going to interesting places and in turn, enjoying the sunshine. 

It's been nice to get out and do things which are a bit different and a lot of fun,

The Commonwealth Games

Aah, the Commonwealth Games, which are wrapping up as we speak. 

The Opening Ceremony was fabulous as were all of the sporting events.

I have really enjoyed having the opportunity to see so many athletes from so many diverse countries participate in sport and cheering on my favourite althetes. 

It has been great.

To see my post about the Commonwealth Games, mosey on over (HERE).

My Birthday and Celebrations.

So, as you may or may not know, my birthday was last Thursday and I spent quite a bit of time celebrating with all of my wonderful friends and family.

I enjoyed myself a lot and  I recived some lovely things.

It was brilliant.

I had such an amazing time and I'd like to say a massive thanks to everyone for that.

To see the post I wrote about my birthday and celebrations, click (HERE).

Lots of Lovely Little Things.

As you know, I am always one for the little things and I find nothing better than feeling happy.

In July, I spent time enjoying a lot of lovely simple things which made me so, so happy. 

I think we should all spend a bit more time appreciating how sometimes even just some eggs and toast can lift your mood.

To see my post about some of the things that made me smile, click (HERE).


My Favourite Blog Posts Of July.

"Yarn Bomb Pics!!!" on Chronicles of the Red Herring, (HERE).

Elf Girl got her photography skills out here and took some great photos of the time earlier this month that our neighbourhood got yarn bombed (she explains the terms in her post). 

I found this fun, interesting and unique.

"We did: An Indoor Fort" on Little Winter, (HERE).

I love quirky little things like this and since forts were a massive childhood fave, I really like this post.

It's nice to see something alternative on a blog like this.

"A Seaside Weekend with Friends, and a Video" on A Rosie Outlook, (HERE).

I liked this post because of it's friendly feel and because it showed off some of the delights found near Rosie's home.

It's also nice to have a video to accompany the writing as it added something else to the post and made it more interesting.

"Cuckoo Clocks & Late Night Kisses" on Charlotte 's Web, (HERE)

I love when Charlotte writes like this.

It's funny, it's sweet, it's endearing and the ending is adorable. It's great and you should read it, too.

"Lead the Way" on The London Project, (HERE).

It's a good set of photographs that look great.

It's unique and interesting and one for the creative amongst you.

"Friday Round Up" on Made Up Of Little Things, (HERE).

This post is a very "real" post, as it truly is just a life update.

This post takes the good with the bad and pinch of salt, and that is appealing as it connects a lot with you. It's more a conversation than a presentation.

"What Olivia Cooked: Salted Caramel Popcorn" on What Olivia Did, (HERE)

I actually discovered What Olivia Did this morning, not last month, but this recipe looks so good that I had to share. I've been having a wee butchers at some previous posts and I like what I see.

This blog could become a new addition  to the reading list and the popcorn could become a fave of mine soon.

So, that's all for today then, I hop you have enjoyed. I look forward to getting back on the blogging bus this month and posting more, I hope you are too. 

Did you enjoy July? What were your highlights? What do you think of mine? Did you enjoy this post? Any comments or suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments.

See you all soon for a lot more posts.

Have the most wonderful day!

So, To Sum It All Up - April Summary.

Hi!!!


Can you believe that it is May already? May is a lovely month, though - Bank Holiday Monday, anyone? So, I have a load of April bits and bobs to share with you today, and so I think I should probs just get on with this.

Going Out With Friends/Family.

I've been out and about with my friends and family a few times this month, and I have really enjoyed it. Not only have I had things to look forward to, but I've got to spend time with people and enjoy myself.

I went to see the Miranda Hart "My, What I Call, Live Show" tour with Elf Girl (I got her a ticket as a Christmas present last year) and my Auntie S and I know I had a really great time, and the others did too I think. It was sooooo funny and just a great experience on the whole, especially for ultimate Miranda fans like us lot!

I went to go and see Another Country at the Trafalgar Studios with my Mom as part of a day in London together. The show was great and the rest of the day was too. We went to the National Portrait Gallery and ate cupcakes in a tiny store in Covent Garden we found recently. I had a very nice, calm day.

I also went to see "Dance Til Dawn", a dance show starring Vincent and Flavia off of Strictly Come Dancing. I went with my Mom, Nan and Auntie S - love a family night out! - as we'd been to see their "Midnight Tango" show before and thought this one would be worth watching. It was amazing! Seriously, a jazz-age-themed dance fest with amazing ensemble, stars and staging = yeah!

Right, lot of links here.

To find Elf Girl and her blogs, I have linked her Blogger profile, (HERE).

 

To see mentions of my Auntie S and my Mom, see (HERE) and (HERE).

For my review of Another Country, see (HERE).

For links to Miranda's work and Vincent and Flavia's work, see (HERE) and (HERE).

For links to the National Portrait Gallery, see (HERE).

Getting More Work Done On The New House.

Yes, I know this has featured in a lot of monthly summaries lately, but it is a big part of my life right now.

We have made progress which I, personally, am happy with, and we are set to make more progress in the next few weeks.

Go us!

To find out about some recent progress with the house, head on over (HERE).

Easter and Easter Celebrations.

Obviously, Easter happened last month.

I like Easter a lot and always have fun during the celebrations. The more "interesting" parts of the day included the way I dressed myself up, making mini egg Rocky Road and having lunch with my family. It was a good day, which was rounded off by eating an Easter egg and watching TV.

.

To see a post about Easter that I wrote, go (HERE).

Enjoying Little Things/Occasions.

This month, I shared what my "wild" lifestyle/night life is like - basically it ideally involves movies, a bit of a pamper and sleep. But, I don't mind that. I think everyone, even if secretly, enjoys staying in and doing nothings which make them happy and relaxed.

I also shared my thoughts on the annual Oxford V Cambridge boat race. It's a little bit of my life that swings round every year and that I think is a great tradition. All very good stuff... especially since Oxford won!!!

To see my post on my Sunday night plans, see (HERE).

Getting Blog Admin Done!

Yes, April was the month I finally set up BlogLovin' (feel free to click the follow button on the top right!) which is something I had wanted to do since the end of Google Friend Connect when I first set up my blog in June last year! So, go me for organisation!

I also got lots of reading/writing done in April, which can never be a bad thing!

To see my necessary BlogLovin' code post, see (HERE). 

My Favourite Blog Posts Of April.

In no particular order...

"A Day In Harrogate" on Made Up Of Little Things, (HERE).

I love a good lifestyle post, and this was fun, interesting and a great insight into Rachael and her little family. It was a very sweet, well photographed post which made me smile. I also liked the personal details added.

"Living With A Blogger" on Little Winter, (HERE).

When reading this post, I found myself sitting there and saying loudly - to myself - "Oh my gosh, I do that!" and "Oh my gosh, that's me!".

If you are any kind of blogger or just have those kinds of traits, you will find this very funny (at least in parts) and almost a reality check - but it's all part of the job, right?

"Details" on Charlotte's Web, (HERE).

I liked this post, as it was like an insight into a bit of Charlotte's mind, and posts like this can spur on new interests, for example it gave me ideas for my trip to London as well as drawing my attention to Kate Spade - as long as my bank account doesn't also get drawn to it all, we'll be OK!

Sending happy thought your way for the future Charlotte, needed because (THIS). It can only get better.

"Review: Teens Titans Go!" on Chronicles Of The Red Herring, (HERE).

If you are a bit of a nerd like me, and want an honest opinion on the remake of the classic Teen Titans, then head on over to this post. It was actually a good review, even though it was on the more negative side, because I always prefer an honest opinion.

"Happy Days 03" on A Rosie Outlook, (HERE).

I like to see what makes people happy, and to get some positive energy going through the blogging community. It is always good to see what little things make other people smile, and spread the happiness.

Ta Dah! I think that's all for today. I hope you have enjoyed this post, and that April was good to you!

Did you like this post? What did you get up to in April? Anything similar to me? What do you think of what I did? Any questions, thoughts or suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments.

Let's see what blogging brings in May! I hope you all enjoy this month of posts.

Have an awesome day!

Oh My Life! - Tales Of My Life and Times - My New House, Update Two; Baths, Beds, Falling Off Ladders and Being Half Way There

Hi!!!

Long time, no house update. Sorry! But, here we are, and for those of you who are interested, house update number two is ready.


If you haven't yet read my first update, or it has been so long you can't remember the details, then (HERE) it is.

Since we last spoke about this topic, we have made a nice load of progress. All the wallpaper we wanted gone is just that, we've taken bathroom tiles to the rubbish tip/landfill/recycling place, carpets have been given to a nearby cat sanctuary and not so nice wardrobe units dealt with. The kitchen units have now been cleaned about three times and floors have been mopped. We've also painted the ceilings with emulsion. That's were falling off a ladder comes into things.

I am incredibly clumsy so.... I honestly don't know what made me fall, I just realised I was falling half way to the floor. I've been told it was a rather fabulous fall, and I had supreme bruises on my leg to prove it. I did finish that ceiling though, I had too much to do to feel sorry for myself!

We have bought laminate floors and underlay for the rooms they are needed in, and are happy with them. All we need now is for them to be fitted!

We have ordered a bath and shower enclosure with appropriate add on's (and had it delivered), and I ordered a bed yesterday which I couldn't be happier with. On the topic of bedrooms, I've gone against the original feature wall ideas - it just seemed like the right thing to do - and am looking at other wallpapers currently. I may not have a feature wall at all, I may just use a delicate/not-so-in-your-face wallpaper on all the walls in the bedroom. I am also revisiting an idea I had for a quote/lyric above the bed, as mentioned (HERE), let me know if you have ideas or suggestions. Wardrobes are in the process of being sorted (my fussiness means it is going to take a bit more time to sort out than planned, but more on that when they are sorted).

We still have some things that need to be done, as you can tell, but I feel so happy. After every purchase, every finished job and so on, I have found myself saying "We're half way there," and I am so filled with joy to say so. I feel a refreshed sense of positivity and optimism for this whole thing - it can get dampened slightly if you feel you are getting nowhere, which is why feeling "half way there," is such a big deal to me. Big smiles.

That is all that I have to tell you at this current moment in time. I hope that this post has been interesting and that you've been enjoying all my updates.
Are you moving house or refreshing any part of your house at the moment? Or are you maybe just playing with the idea? Do you like hearing my updates? Any suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments.
OK then, that leaves me with only one other thing to mention. I have recently gotten BlogLovin', and there is a button on the top right, so if you want to follow then please do, it would make my day!

I hope you have a great day!

So, To Sum It All Up - March Summary.

Hi!!!

Another month over, another Summary to write. And so, without further ado, here is my March Summary. I hope you enjoy.

Getting Work Done At The New House.

Back in February, we found out that we had a new house and so the last month has been dedicated to getting as much done as possible so we can move in ASAP. Getting things done is so rewarding as you can see results straight away. Plus, the more work we get done, the sooner we can decorate (!) and move in. YAY!

I would also like to mention the friends and family members who have been giving us a helping hand, as well as those who have even just offered to help. We are very grateful and it means lot.

We have conquered lots of tasks, but I am planning on doing an update post soon, so that you know what is going on.

To hear more about the kinds of things that we have done at the new house, click (HERE).

Doing Some Really Cool Stuff.

Throughout March, I spent my time doing some really cool stuff (or at least I think so). I spent my time doing a variety of things and it felt really nice to have things to look forward to. I know most of the stand-outs were big things, but the little things count towards my monthly stand-outs too.

To see a post about my busiest weekend in March, click (HERE).

Celebrating Mother's Day, Saint Patrick's Day and People's Birthdays.

During March, we had Saint Patrick's Day (which is always a nice day - this year filled with texts in Gaelic to and from my Uncle). We also had Mother's Day, which is such a great day, because Mom's are amazing and they deserve a day to relax and enjoy. I also celebrated H's birthday, amongst others. I didn't realise quite how behind I was on my blogging this month, because I missed writing posts for two family members birthdays - you know who you are, I'm sorry, and love you!

To see a post on Saint Patrick's Day and H's Birthday, click (HERE).

To see a post about Mother's Day, click (HERE).

Supporting Charities.

 During March, Sport Relief was broadcast, and I donated to them. It is such a good cause, and I was really touched by some of the stories shown (I only saw an hour or so of the show, as I was busy). One story in particular which touched me, was the story of an old man called Bob, who had reached out to a program called The Silver Line after his wife died.

I hope that you guys support, or will support charities like this in future, as they really are worth it.

To find a post I did about Sport Relief, click (HERE).

To find The Silver Line website, click (HERE).

Taking Time For The Little Things.

Some of the little things this month have really stood out to me. For example, getting as much out of my weekends as possible, watching movies on my laptop in bed on a rainy evening, and singing/humming songs everywhere under my breath.

For a post on my favourite things about weekends, click (HERE).

For a post on the kind of songs I have been humming and singing, click (HERE).

My Favourite Blog Posts Of March.


Might I suggest that you check out more posts from the blogs here that were produced this month, this selection was tough.


"Doing The Lennon" on Charlotte's Web, (HERE).


First of all, I love the amount of Beatles-ness going on here - the sunglasses and Charlotte's top. I also kinda want some of those glasses. I also love the simplicity of this post. It made me smile.


"Friday Round Up" on Made Up Of Little Things, (HERE).


I have always loved the Friday Round Up's on this blog since I first started reading it. I love how images are used in the Friday Round Up posts to make them more personal. I found this one sweet and loved all the Elbow references - I do love Elbow...

"Mama's Recipe" on Little Winter, (HERE).

I found this post quite interesting, and it also made me smile. It is quite rare to get a kind of foodie post, so this was a welcome change, and there is a real sense of fun to this post - I think it is the mother-daughter relationship shining through. Oh, and some of the pictures are quite amusing i.e apple for a nose...
Good stuff.


"Happy" on Chronicles Of The Red Herring, (HERE).


Short, sweet and very wise, just like most of the posts on this blog. I liked this post very much, and the message from it is something I believe in very strongly much. This was almost motivational to me, which can never be a bad thing, right?


"Five Favourites: March" on A Rosie Outlook, (HERE).


I thought this post was interesting, personal and I love the Five Favourites concept as it is very individual as well as making things stand out more. Rosie's favourite links from March were ones I hadn't read until she suggested them, but I did enjoy a few.

So, March, consider yourself wrapped up. I hope you enjoyed this post, everyone, I can't wait to post more this month.

What did you get up to last month? What were your favourite blog posts of March? Any suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments.

I will see you all very soon, and hopefully you will enjoy my April content.

Have a brilliant day/night!

Oh My Life! - Tales Of My Life and Times - My New House, Update One; Wallpaper, Screwdrivers and A Spot Of Elbow Grease.

Hi!!!


Since getting the news about us moving house, everything has become about the house - and I actually quite like it...

See, the thing is with us is that we didn't have a moving date, and are not living in the new house yet. We did this for a number of reasons, and I am glad we did because it means that we have time to get things ready and make sure that everything is the way we want it to be.

So, we have spent weekends and evenings stripping the wallpaper from the bedrooms, pulling up carpets, ripping out wardrobes and beginning a clean up. A friend has been over to slap some emulsion on the kitchen walls and the members of our family who live locally have been round to see the house - and they all like it!

I really like the fact that I can see progress after every visit, even if we only do a "little bit". It is really satisfying to see that you are getting somewhere, and it keeps you motivated to do more.


Let's not forget though, the time spent in DIY stores, home-ware departments and reading magazines and books for inspiration. It is so nice to know you have a project to work towards and so, even though I probably won't use it, I am trying to get ideas from almost everything.

However, I am struggling to choose my feature wallpaper (for my bedroom) as my two options are utterly gorgeous. I'm also contemplating paint colours, accessories, and lighting.

It's very exciting but can be a little bit frustrating when you need to make decisions and are unsure.

So, for the moment, that is all I have to tell you. There is other stuff, but you might find that boring and we wouldn't want that, now would we? I did want to keep you up to speed though, and I hope that you liked reading this.

What do you think about moving house? Are you moving house too? Are you maybe just toying with the idea? Do you like hearing my updates? Did this post interest you? Let me know in the comments.

OK then, lovely people, I will be sure to speak to you lot very soon.

Have a very, very good day!

I've Been Thinking... - I Have Some News!

Hi!!!

Yes, you read that title right. I have news for you all. If you cast your mind allllll the way back to August, you might remember I mentioned in (THIS) post that we were thinking of moving house. Fast forward a few months and look at where we are...

I mentioned in said post that we were thinking of moving house, and had a plan for a specific house which was the one I spoke about in August. However, that didn't work out, and that's probably for the best as it was one of the first houses we looked at, and I don't think now, in hindsight, it would have been just right for us. We didn't get disheartened, though, we kept looking. And it turns out that that led us to a lovely house, which we love. We offered and it was successful. That was the start of Autumn last year, and during this week , we received the news that at last that house was ours.

I am so excited about this move.

 We found such a lovely house, and cannot wait to get stuck in, and make it our own.

I'm so happy that I can share this news with you guys, and am looking forward to sharing our progress with you as well as sharing home-ware/home décor posts.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and are looking forward to sharing this move with me.

What do you think about me moving house? Do you have any useful tips for moving, cleaning or decorating? Do you have any suggestions for home posts you'd like to see? Let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading guys, and I'll speak to you soon.

Have a marvellous day!
