There's no place like home

We moved into our new place last Friday, and are mostly set up, with the exception of a few rogue boxes that seem to being refusing to march themselves down to the cellar and neatly stack themselves away.

We have taken stock of what we have, what we don't have, what we need to buy, and what we want to buy (note the maturity and fiscal responsibility of that last part).

I made a prioritised list (I come from a family of list-makers) before we moved of the stuff I knew we needed and made short work of the purchase of the washing machine.

Now it is time for the fun stuff - a bed, some book shelves, dining chairs. You know what that means, don't you - yes, IKEA. IKEA is not easy to get to without a car (don't worry, a car is on the list too), so we may even do the whole thing on line. Keep your fingers crossed.
