Apologies apologies life got in the way

Apologies, apologies it has been so long since my last post, there have been a few personal dramas which I hope we are coming out of at long last. We moved the majority of our furniture up on 25th of July... if there ever was an award for packing a 7.5 tonne lorry the prize would go to the Mr. I don't think there was one inch of space left unfilled, they even had a step ladder inside the truck making sure the boxes reached the ceiling!!  After a careful long drive by my cousin Mark we arrived at about 6-30 pm and they had unpacked the lorry and were holding a pint in the pub next door by 8-45 pm have to say we were very grateful to our helpers who worked like Trojans the whole day. We got home at 1-30 am Sunday morning only to realise that DD3 who helped us had no bed so off to Streatham at 2 am to deliver her to her house and back to inflating our air bed at 2.45 am ...sorry neighbours.
