Still no internet.

But apart from that everything is going in the right direction.

There was a bit of a problem with deliveries as one of the neighbours kept stopping the delivery drivers as they were convinced that no-one in the bungalows was online. I have now managed to persuade him otherwise.

I'm gradually getting everything sorted out and I'm just waiting to get internet access. I may also buy a tv but I've not decided yet.

I'm enjoying life in the village, I've joined a group that meets weekly and arranged to go for a meal once a month also my daughter has purchased season tickets for the amdram theatre in the village.

It took a few weeks but I now feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, I can talk to the neighbours and any dog walkers I meet without worrying that Steve will throw a strop.

My grandchildren often drop in on their way home from school and it is lovely to see them.

My life has changed dramatically in a relatively short time.

Back again briefly.

I have a six week wait before I get internet so I can only post when I'm at Cass's house.

I have heating and hot water but no shower for a few weeks.

I don't know why no one can post comments, I've not set the blog that way but I will investigate further.

I've visited a couple of charity furniture warehouses and purchased a sofa, easy chair, chest of drawers and a small cupboard for bathroom storage.

I've organised a regular supermarket delivery and there is a shop in the village that is very well stocked.

My newest purchase was my curtains, I bought them in the Dunelm sale, they were very expensive but I wanted thick curtains as one of the neighbours tends to wander around at 3 a.m. looking for her cat. When she shines her torch in my window she was waking me up.

The neighbours are friendly but it is currently so cold (we've had snow) that and conversations are necessarily brief.

I'll post again when I am next able.

Still alive!

Just in case anyone was wondering, I am still alive and settling into my new home. I have no heating, no hot water and no internet but these will all get sorted eventually. 

Beano is confused but otherwise ok.
