New house!

Well we have had the most amazing few days moving me from Hertfordshire to Yorkshire.
On Thursday Mum and Dad came over to help us move and they were both absolutely amazing and they worked so hard. Dad gave The Mister a bit of a masterclass in packing a van (now he knows why I am so anal when it comes to packing the car when we go camping!!) and we almost got everything in. Rather annoyingly we couldn't fit about 4-5 boxes in so I am going to have to go back down next week ans pick those bits up and tidy up the flat a bit. So, once we had packed the van we drove Up North and stayed overnight in a Travelodge so that we didn't have to unpack anything.
Friday was equally busy although unpacking the van was a great deal easier than packing it! After unpacking the van we managed to unpack quite a lot of stuff so that it started to feel a little bit like home. We also had an enormous new bed delivered from Ikea (and I have to say it is probably one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in!! Mum and dad left at 2ish and we carried on unpacking.
This morning we took the train into Leeds - where we are living isn't far away but the train takes 10 minutes and we don't have to struggle with the traffic or parking. Brilliant. We went and bought out wedding rings, that took us all of about 10 minutes! Then, back home to the house to unpack a bit more, the Sky man came to sort that out and we have just collected the cat, Delilah. She is currently sniffing around the house, calming down a little but seems a bit confused that all the stuff from her previous home has been transplanted into a new environment. She will be fine even if she has to stay in for a while!!
So, big thanks to everyone who prayed for a smooth move - so far it has all gone swimmingly. Here are so pics of our new abode!
