Third cat in the house!

We are having a few builders & boiler man in the house this week and they need to have our back door open. It means that our microchip cat latch is out of order. Our street has about 20 resident cats and they like to use our fence as nice walkway.

Curious cheeky ones have sometimes a little look around our house. It drives my husband crazy! :-))) You will turn around and there is some different cat in our living room! Our neighbour has this big white + tabby girl and she is very nosey! She get along with our cats (Meowgi loves her, but she is not very impressed by him). Fizzy likes to play with our cats toys and she loves cat nip bags.

Here is Fizzy (she has her name on the collar) scrubbing herself on cat nip bags.

Oh, the builders!

This week we are in the process of changing our 20 years old boiler.

Hura! (the Czech spelling). It doesn't go very smooth so far.
When they were the previous owners building the extension and adding utility room + bathroom, they did not build any hatch - access into the extension attic. It means that we had to first get that installed. Easy you say. We called the friends builders to do it.

Holiday in Cornwall

We have been in Cornwall for a few days. I actually never have been there before and I live in UK for about 10 years! Shame I know. We went there with my husband and his parents. Poor John was driving. It takes about 5 hours to get there!

We were staying in this beautiful beach hotel (Tommy Jacks). Their food was very good too and the staff was so helpful and nice. I can really recommend this hotel.

How to stay tidy & clutter free in our house

Writing yesterday post about selling unwanted stuff I have realised, that we apply quite a lots of "rules" in our home about everyday clutter and cleaning. We are quite tidy couple. We have to be! With our 2 cats we do a lots of cleaning! It is easier, if there are no necessary items around the house. Everything is washable or can be wiped down. Only non sensible item in our house is the cream carpet. Oh well, we inherited it from previous owners and it will be quite a expense to change it.

Even with our "rules" we still deal some days with clutter but I am more and more ruthless about it.
We have a saying that if we don't need it than we will not store it.
Here is the list how we deal with everyday stuff,  clutter and mess :-)

Selling and selling

We are making our house a little bit lighter. Over the 18 months of owning our home we slowly got more staff than we really need. You know when you get your first home you start buying a lots of decorations and kitchen utensils, blankets and cushions. Just too much for your little house. Then you start putting it in the attic, just in case of needing it. That is how our attic became really full. One day I poke my head there and saw all of that "not needed" staff. No! We are not keeping it.
