Bobdude Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Exciting innit? The novelty is wearing a bit thin for us now though but the house is beginning to look great! Will look forward to that drink - will probably still have paintbrushes in our hands then.Linda & Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be moved into our new house in the area at the beginning of June and it would be nice to meet up for a drink when you finally arrive and are settled in.
