Day 93 - Finally, A Big TV

Saturday July 18th

The packers have gone so we went shopping. First up was Homebase and paint. The kids were very excited about choosing paints and I bought a push mower..is that a very cool retro thing to do or just silly. For 30 quid and a small lawn, I reckon it's sensible.

Second up was Curry's where the wheels really came off the wallet. A washing machine, a dryer, a 40" TV and one Blu Ray player later we staggered out. Hope it all works. Finally I get my big TV but judging by the digital reception in the other house, I am not optimistic about the quality of TV reception. We shall see.

The new house is beginning to look habitable. I wonder when we can move in. It all depends on Monday.

M&D came around for a cup of tea and gave us a masterclass on the coffee machine and oven. Very excited about my new coffee machine as I got the variety Nespresso pack. It was like a box of Quality Street with lots of different colours to choose from.
