Will we stay or will we go?

Ahh - the joy that is the house sale.

We are now into week 4 of the sale process and whilst we have signed all the bits and bobs necessary, we are still waiting for the essential "Exchange" of contract which is looking more and more unlikely as the days creep towards the original anticipated completion date of the 16th.

I now have the unenviable task of packing but at the same time, it might all be put on hold until after Christmas.  Thankfully we have left some Christmas decorations up in the loft...(I think?!) or it will be a quick trip to Asda or the like for some cheap tat for the children to put up in our "shell" of a house this weekend.

As I glance across the room at #3, (who is trying desperately to mount the sofa to the remote control,) I realise that this festive period could well see the start of some serious crawling movements!

That is just not allowed at the moment so I'm off to sit her back up and put the kettle on for a cuppa to warm up  as I refuse to put the heating on with just two of us in the house.

Besides, I think I read somewhere that shivering helps you to lose weight??!!
