Moved in & real home very quickly!

This week was mostly shopping at our B&Q, credit card took a massive hammering, but when you change over into pounds for the Leva it is always a shock at how low the prices are. Also at this stage we didn't have the stupid vote which made the rate drop through the floor! Don't get me started on that!

We bought the whole bathroom fittings and kitchen for under £300! crazy!

We lived with 2 young builders for the first week, they did the final plastering in the kitchen and fitted the bathroom fittings and then moved onto the floor which we bought from the local timber yard! I want a modern look in this house mixed in with the really old style! Not sure if I will manage it and did tell a few people that this house would be minimalist, hmm can I do that?

One very happy Rich that he is building by proxy as he calls it!

Floor down, toilet fitted and all plaster on the walls, so in we move and spend our first night sleeping on the floor on the new mattress we bought!

Within a few days we meet some local Brits (didn't know we had so many) from the village and found a great chica called Jane, she will hate having a mention in this blog, but tough shit babes you are a great find! Kate was a star and supplied hay for the boys and Baby was ridden over by Rich and her, so nearly got my herd back together. Luna has cut her bum on something, so she will have to stay at Kate's for a bit longer until she heals! Kate plays nurse and keeps her as still as she can as we don't want her stitches to come undone!

The builders did a great job and even though I get the impression most people thought I was a complete idiot for just handing money over to Charlie, I knew it was the right thing and trusted him 100%!

A few things we will finish when we get the time, however 95% of what the team did for the small amount we paid is quite amazing. Rich keeps going on about all this hard work been done by someone else, makes such a nice change after 4 years of very hands on in Spain! Building work over here is certainly more stress free!

Lounge on day one! 

Lounge today! 

Old bathroom with rubbish and horrible window

Wet room floor, rain water shower and nice new window! 

Look mum a real loo, no more bucket with sawdust!

See the cooker and fridge had a place and old window was horrible!

Adore my new kitchen, window gone and fridge in place! 

My kitchen has electric, I mean real electric, not solar power! I have a coffee machine, a microwave, a bread machine, a juicer, a fryer, a grill and on and on, do you get the idea and you have no idea how bloody happy using each device makes me! Living off grid is all well and good but its another thing to have it so easy now!

Ms Willet it is not a fancy as yours, for now but I get excited each morning when I make my expresso and use the frothy milk bit on the side!

I had planned on the house been modern and no clutter, however I have found so many amazing items and they will be in the next post that I had to change my ideas for the decor!
