Photo A Day - Day 28

Another day of red


Today I have been packing for move, we have a van (and a very kind friend to drive it) and we have the fun of moving tomorrow. When I say 'we' I mean Mr Mouse as I am going on holiday with my dog (Ferd), but I will be helping to load the van in the morning.


What has all that got to do with todays photo? Well I haven't had time to look for something red and 'arty' and I have only just finally been able to sit down and stop for the day. I thought about postponing todays entry but then I noticed that my Filofax is red (I had it out to sort out dates for sky move) and so is Ferd bow tie (he likes to look smart) and as my camera was close to hand ready to grab tomorrow when we head off I knew that I wouldn't have to miss to today. 


So here it is 

House sneak peek - the before...

Well as you know Mr Mouse and Me have our very first home (thinking of names at the moment 'Mouse Manor'!?).


We picked up the keys last Friday (which I have to confess was a little anticlimactic) and spent the weekend decorating - a tour will be coming soon. But I thought that I would do a little sneak peek a before....


These pictures are from the estate agents advert for the house and it seems such a long time ago that we stumbled across it on Rightmove and fell in love and never dared dream that it would be ours :)

'Stuff' not ours

The 'big' move has been set for this weekend (me and Ferd will be enjoying a holiday while Mr Mouse and very kind friend will do all the hard work of shifting all the boxes of books).

Getting excited now :)

One More Sleep

Ok so as you have probably gathered by now Mr Mouse and Me are moving - Wooooo

Why one more sleep? Well tomorrow is completion day and we get the keys to our new house.

This will be our first married home and the first time that we will have lived alone since getting married so as you can imagine this is a big deal for us.

Circumstances have meant that we have had a rough few years so this is the start of a new chapter.

We were priced out of the southern property market and so we decided that we would take the plunge and move back to Nottinghamshire where we had been living up until 2010.

We are sad to be saying good bye to our native Essex, we will always be southerners in our hearts and will have plently of opportunities to visit 'home' as Mr Mouses parents and my Dad remain.

In the same the village - were we grew up.

The village where our Mums met and then we met (we were in nappies)

The primary school in the neigbouring village that we both went to....

Then Mr Mouses family then moved away - we still remained friends - but they came back to the village

So its a very special village (although I can't help but think some of its heart has gone over the last few years, the younger generation just dont seem to appreciate it... but thats another issue).

And yes Mr Mouse and Me may have got married in 2009 but we have known each other all out lives - so we're special too

Love you Mr Mouse x
