First Day Of Moving Into Our Fantasy Cottage | First Tour Of The House | 1626 English Cottage

We're officially homeowners. Got the keys! Hello everyone. Welcome to the second part of our house moving journey. After we moved out of our flat, we had to stay with my parents for two weeks, as the purchase of the house took a bit longer than anticipated. So yeah, we've just completed on our house. We're officially homeowners. So after about four months of worrying about whether we'd be able to get a mortgage and everything, and whether it would go through or something else would have happened, we've actually got it. It's ours. It's ours. It's our precious house. Oh my god, I can't wait. So yeah, we're hopefully moving tomorrow. All being well, we need to book the van, get our stuff out of storage, and then move all our things to our new place. Coming fast on the journey. Moving into our own lovely cupboard-hole house. Got the keys! Just before heading off to the house, we quickly popped into a charity shop to see if they have any furniture we need for the house. We are here, and we are ready It's an absolute mangle of keys Yeah, you're not coming in here! Let's just... Not that key. I reckon it's probably one of these bigger ones. The tall one is the top. Oh my god, I wanted you to film me! Oh my god, it's so much smaller than I remember. Hello Mr. Cat. Oh, I've got that kind of a safety. I'm assuming it's all the electrics? No, it's just the... The immersion heater? That's the electricity meter. I'm just looking to see where the phone cable is where we plug the internet box in. That doesn't look good. At this point, I didn't realise that the sound wasn't coming through at all, so some of the footage and commentaries on the day didn't make it into this video. Nevertheless, you can clearly see how excited we were. Okay, so I was trying to open this... well, I did open this cupboard under the stairs on the ground floor. I haven't looked at it since we were looking at the house. I know there is some sort of tiny storage in the house. There's loads of cobwebs here. Time for liquids. So, here's the lantern. I'll give it a wipe and see what's inside. If we can't install that instead of the new one in front of the house. What's that? Oh, it's just some panelings. That's interesting. I think that's leftover wood from floor panels, isn't it? Because it fits. I don't know. We'll have to keep that for later. There's a massive extension over there. That's a useful bit of storage. And it's got a lantern. So, it's now about 7.30 in the evening. And we're still waiting for the van to arrive because we haven't got anything apart from one suitcase with clothes. And we haven't got a bed. That's probably the most pressing thing we actually need tonight. And Kettle and Max do have a cup of tea, but we haven't got a bed. If it doesn't turn up, it's on its way. So, it should turn up any minute now. I really hope it's going to turn up. I'm pretty worried that it's going to turn up to a different address because Google Maps doesn't recognise our address. It recognises all the neighbours but not our direct address. Which we gave to the van people. So, hopefully that won't be a problem and they're going to turn up here. Nor somewhere else. But anyway, we'll see. After another hour of waiting, the van did arrive in the end. With no street light inside, we had to unload it in complete darkness. To make things even worse, at this point we realised that my beautiful antique wardrobe couldn't fit in the narrow staircase. Which was a big disappointment to me. And yet another surprise, our bed base, which was comprised of two small boxes, couldn't fit upstairs as well. So, it's half nine in the evening right now. We unloaded the van. A bit of a disaster. Oh gosh. Anyways, we sorted this out. Actually, it's not that much. That's most of the things. That wardrobe, which is a lovely wardrobe and it's the same colour as Bim's so he can go see what's in his house. But unfortunately we couldn't fit it upstairs into the bedroom and even more so into the studio all the way upstairs. So, I don't know what to do with it. I haven't even got any energy to think what I'm going to do with that old wardrobe. Maybe I'll keep it downstairs or take it apart and fit it upstairs or get rid of it. Anyways, another big disaster thing. We couldn't actually fit our bed base in the bedroom. This is our bed base, which I was thinking of getting rid of anyway and buy a nice wooden bed. But this was supposed to keep us going, at least for the first month. But it's not going to keep us going at all because it doesn't fit upstairs in these narrow stairs. It just wouldn't fit. So, yeah. First purchase, bed. So, we're just going to do the bed mattress, put the bedding on, have a shower and go to sleep and tomorrow is going to be a big sorting day and desperately looking to buy a bed which I wanted a really nice bed. I wanted to take my time use this one, take my time and choose a really lovely one which I'm absolutely in love with but unfortunately we're going to have to do it quite quickly because sleeping on the mattress is not very pleasant in the list. Goodnight everyone and we'll see you tomorrow.
