What was your first meal in your new home?
What was your first meal in your new home?
We have had word from our solicitor that exchange is set for next week, with completion following 5 days after. We've had a couple of breathe deep moments with the sale of our property and purchase of another. One offer withdrawn and a plethora of pot holes along the way but dare I say it, Im feeling hopeful now (even though I know so many things can still go wrong)
In the spirit of optimism though, I was thinking about the moment were moved in and everyone's gone. When we can light a fire embrace the chaos of unpacking and sit down for food. Husband and son are looking to get a domino's. I want a plate of cheese, meat, pickles and bread on a big board and I want a bottle of chianti to myself 🤣. Im going to pour the chianti into a caraf and let it breathe by the fire - because Im romanticising the hell out of this first meal. Ive even bought new wine glasses, a caraf and a charcuterie board for this occasion - along with shed loads of IKEA vanilla candles to dot around and light everywhere just because I want this whimsy moment to be worth every second of anxiety, hurt and exhaustion we felt. I've even bought us new fluffy blankets to roll out on the floor and just vibe into a cuddle puddle of food and drink 😆 husbands going to prioritise setting up his vinyl, so were just going to listen to music and 'be'
What were your first meals? Was it a big moment for you, or were you too exhausted to feel it?
