Welcome to Worthing!

Well the UK move is done & we are in the new house. The day was not without it's challenges but they were not too major so it was not too bad but we were so glad to put our heads down.
Just a small word of advice, don't move house on both sides of the planet at the same time. Let's just say it's a leetle bit stressful!! We are still getting over it I think.
We have barely any furniture here but that will definitely be taken care of when our things land from Australia. 
We have a whole shipping container o.O
OMG, no idea how that happened but we will deal with that when it comes. May need to do some serious culling but need to work out what is in the container first. Amazing how you forget what you own after 2 years of not seeing it.
We did need to get some furniture so I went hunting the car boots, charity shops & Brighton racecourse auction.

This 1930's cane table set me back a massive 25p!!
Bit of a rough drop leaf table for a fiver
Really ugly upholstery

But check out that timberwork!!! This is an Erkol chair, great score for 50 quid.

Freaky!

The kids just love having proper window ledges from which to view the world.
 I can't tell you how much I love this town! I have been getting in the habit of going for a walk along the seafront into what I like to call "The Village". LOL


And there is no way I can forget my friends. This is the street behind ours. Heya Spotty!!

Loving what I do, especially where I am doing it.

  1. Yay to finally being in the new house. So pleased that you survived. Your email won't let me reply again so that is why you haven't heard from me.

  3. Well that seems to have happened amazingly fast - didn't you only decide to move, like last week? I'm looking forward to following you around Worthing in the months ahead!
    BTW I have the same email reply problem that Susan does!!

  4. After the initial interminable negotiations it has gone really quickly. We can't wait to get our stuff from Australia - feels funny living in an empty house LOL
    Are you trying to email here or the hotmail address?? I have no idea why it is not working but will have a look at the settings in each.

Sorry folks but too many spam comments lately so the word verification is going on for a little while. Once I am no longer "BIG" in Russia I will take it off.
