Things we do not currently have in the new house:

  • a phone line [0];
  • and, therefore, broadband;
  • a living room (the flooring people are starting this afternoon);
  • hot water (MYSTERIOUS BOILER CRISIS) (the boiler person is coming tomorrow morning);
  • a plug in the kitchen sink;
  • access to the garage (because it is full of all the living room furniture, boxes of books, CDs, etc, see above re living room);
  • a bed for [personal profile] doop.
Things we do currently have in the new house:
  • a kitchen we can move around, & a functioning kitchen table (not true this time yesterday!);
  • skirting boards in the proto-living-room (also not true this time yesterday!);
  • central heating, because the *boiler* works, it's the hot water tank that doesn't (which is, of course, bugger-all use in August);
  • most of our belongings! (there is still stuff to collect from both previous houses);
  • RIVER VIEW;
  • a beach (albeit slightly muddy) outside the front door! (For another hour or so, anyway; but it will return.).
So, um, good? THIS TOO SHALL PASS. [0] This should have been connected on Saturday. It wasn't. We are at the 'escalated to a manager' stage of things with BT. Meanwhile, hurrah for Android & 3G tethering.

You don't mention a roof in either section ("have" and "don't have"). How should I interpret that? :-)
