It's ours!!!!!

 Due to some misunderstanding the builders we were expecting on Saturday and the cleaners we were expecting on Sunday couldn't come.  We were told on Saturday "no one's coming around" its yours.  There are some things happening next week. The builders are coming and sorting out some of the last of their stuff and taking the skip away.  We are not expecting builders back again till late January to fix the new front door and do work on the garage roof.  We are making a list of the little things that are wrong.  Somehow the water to the dishwasher was disconnected, some painting that was missed, the downstairs bathroom not quite done. 

So we started early this morning with the vacuuming and the cleaning of surfaces and the scrubbing of floors.  It was really very dusty.

We let the cats roam the whole house  on Saturday and Sunday we let them into the garden.  After 2 and a half weeks of being locked up they stepped cautiously out the back door.  Sniffing the air, nervous to bolt straight back home.  But after 10 min they were off, running, chasing, sniffing and climbing trees.
