1) We bought a house.

It needs A LOT of work – we spent the first few weeks living/eating/sleeping, in the living room since it was the only sort of liveable space. That nice list of things I was going to do, to enjoy Autumn fell by the wayside pretty fast. Between work and house renovations, I’ve not had much spare time. But I do now know how to cap off pipes, fix a stop cock and remove a bathroom suite – so it’s been time well spent.

2) We bought a bed and mattress. After much research we decided on the Emma and it is one of the best things we’ve ever bought. Maybe even better than the house.

3) I bought dungarees for decorating purposes, but I love them so much I don’t ever want to take them off. Maybe we should’ve moved to Chorlton instead?.

4) I bought a sander, my first ever power tool. B&Q is my favourite place to hang out these days.
