WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

2.12.15

Firstly,

SORRY!
I'm a #BadBlogger.
It's been a whirlwind couple of months of buying our first home and getting a puppy!
Yes. I think we are a bit crazy.
I decided to have a few weeks off Blogging simply because of the craziness of daily life at the moment as there just doesn't seem to be enough hours of the day to complete anything!
Thank you so much for all your patients, but I'm officially back!


What have we done?
Tom and I have been together for nearly 4 Years and have been saving for our first home together for about 2 Years. We thought we'd need a couple more years of saving until we had a big enough deposit to purchase our first home but in late September we noticed the perfect house had come on the market in a local town called Uppingham for a really, really great price.
So.. We bought it!


It was much, much less than we'd originally planned to spend on our first home but it was just so perfect.
A little Victorian Cottage built in 1890 with quirky features and original wooden floors and doors set over 4 floors. It needed a bit of work doing to it but we couldn't miss the opportunity of buying this house and spending money on it to update it a little, restore the original features and make it ours.
So that's exactly what we've been doing!

It's not finished yet, in fact work has just began however we should (fingers crossed!) be in for Christmas.
I'm going to share the journey weekly on my Blog showing your the changes and work being down to create our perfect first home.



A Puppy too?
Again, yes we are crazy.
A house and a puppy at the same time, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's been my dream for 10 Years to have Pug one day.
Years of driving my parents crazy with constant persuasion and tears.
But I was only allowed one when I moved out.
So, after years and years and finally moving out, that's exactly what I did.

This is Arla.
Our now 12 Week Old little teeny tiny Pug puppy, and she's perfect.
We got her when she was 8 Weeks and 2 Days Old.
She's full of character, loves cuddles and has what we call 'Crazy Pug Time' every evening from around 8pm for about an hour.
'Crazy Pug Time' consists of ears back, tail down and running -faster than you thought a pug ever could - round and round and round a room for no apparent reason on and off for ages.
She's just so funny.
You can follow @ArlaThePug on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.




What's to come?
Now I'm back you'll have 2 Blog Posts a week again, every Wednesday and Sunday evening.
No slacking! Promise.
As I mentioned before, they'll be a Weekly House Update on the Progress and Plans.
First House Update coming this Sunday evening.
Also, as it's Christmas they'll be a few Gift Guides running up to Christmas for alls kind of budgets, big and small.
As well as a few Puppy Updates too!
I found getting a puppy such a fun and special experience and I'd love to share with you all my advice when getting a puppy and what things you'll need for you new addition.
Hopefully, we'll be in the new house for Christmas with our little pup Arla and our new super fast WiFi of 76mb, life changing compared to our 0.2mb at our current house.
So be prepared for a YouTube relaunch in the New Year also...

But until then!
Thanks for your patients and understanding about my absence and new crazy life at the moment.
I can't wait to share and document it on my blog.

See you Sunday!

    Whether you're component of a string, a little quaint resort with minimal extras in your areas or a huge 5 high-class nation manor one issue can be for sure, your guests desire a clean space. Our team proudly uses residential cleaning solutions that are environmentally responsible. If you شركة تركيب مكيفات بالرياض go on too long, you'll burn out, get exhausted, obtain sweaty and uncomfortable, and simply provide up on the whole point. You have got to view properly - the primary contract was that they would make use of their very own washing items and that all I required to supply was paper towels.

    Only you know what you want and need to make. BA خطوات تشغيل فلتر المسبح is better than the average cleaning lady you'll find on Craigslist. Hiring a cleaning services can become an excellent answer. I operate a extremely effective washing business. Square feet prices are frequently utilized for a "initial clean," as a baseline for advantages to function from. And we possess the pleasure of dealing with clients who can take the time to leave us a list of ten extra items to work into their predetermined time slot, yet cannot remember to leave the payment for our services.

    I'm not being degrading and I really appreciate the help and the person that cleans for me, but I do not believe someone needs 45.00 an hour for this job. Similarly, some bring their personal cleaning products and others افضل شركة تنظيف بالرياض need property owners to offer a place of items for their make use of. I also think that they probably felt too bad to tell you that they did not need the job anymore and were very happy when you let them go.

The cost can be a little high, but for the peace of mind, it was worth it. The crew arrived promptly and did their work thoroughly and professionally.

    I was already aware this windowpane organization washed the windows at my organization and additional large employers in my city so knew they had been reliable. My week is normally today filled with people paying out me at this rate-great تنظيف منازل بالرياض customers that perform not really consider benefit of me and who know and value my professional well worth. Our current cleaner charges by the hour ($25), which would be a reasonable rate if she cleaned any faster than a snail.
