From fitting a new boiler in January, and subsequently replacing all the radiators (and then plastering the walls), to fitting a completely new ensuite, to fitting new flooring throughout the house, to then the tiny details like plug fittings, door handles and hinges, a lot of labour has already gone into making this home ours, and I can't thank my dad enough for all the hours he's spent helping us, though there is still a long way yet to go.
Then, there's the cute fluffball currently lying on my legs - one year ago today neither of us thought that we'd end up with our own dog. She brings so much life and energy into the home (that's most likely the cocker in her!) and again, Christmas Eve will mark the day we brought her home.
Next year, the focus will undoubtably be on the kitchen which is in dire need of a makeover, the main bathroom upstairs, and furnishing the rooms. As we've been knocking out walls, glossing doors, and digging up the garden, the more exciting aspect of owning a home (at least, for me), has taken a backseat. So next year, I will buy those dining chairs I've had my eye on for what seems like forever and I will invest in a new, huge kingsize* bed.
*at least!!
