A long long time ago!!!!

Well after a summer of decorating and an autumn of starting new jobs we've finally got round to posting something onto the blog - How Rubbish are we!!!!

We moved into the new 'Staniforth Towers' on the 18th August after a very long summer of decorating. And now after 4 trips to Ikea and various other home ware stores we're nearly there. Below are some pictures of the new place looking alot better than when we bought it!! Adam has become dab hand at DIY although only if it goes easily - otherwise i have to step in before he looses his temper!!!

Then in September i started my new job - leaving teaching to work at St Toms Crookes as the worship director (along with other stuff I'm given). It's been a great few months I'm loving being part of the staff team and for all of you thinking 'What's it like working for your dad?' it's great - I've spent my life living with his little idiosyncrasies - so that gives me a head start!! I've been to Zurich and Budapest with the job taking part in serving at different conferences and most of all i don't have to be up at the crack of dawn!!!

Adam has also moved to a new section of the DWP and is in training at the moment for his new job- at the moment he's moaning because it's tiring but it's a huge improvement on what he was doing before! and he only has to be the from 9:30am to 3:30pm - what a slacker!

Otherwise life is a normal with the Staniforths - Adam still play the Xbox often and i still watch neighbours religiously!!

Hope you enjoy the pictures - when we've tidied up we'll film a small tour of the house!!

Lots of love

Well today has been eventful in Sheffield - we've even made the national news which is unusual!!!!

It has rained constantly for about 24hours and we've had the wettest day ever in Sheffield!! So much for summer.

Below are a couple of Pictures showing the flooding this has caused in town.

Great Weekend

Hi everyone - sorry not posted for a while but life in Sheffield has been taken over by work on the new house.

Thankfully we had a weekend off the house this weekend and went to a wedding of two very good friends from small group (George & Fay) in Hereford.
A group of us from Sheffield travelled down and stayed over in a very nice B&B. The wedding was great - relaxed fun and beautiful. Alot of fun was had by all. Pictures to follow shortly.

Job changes

As it is now official Ican make a post about a job change in the Staniforth household. I'm leaving my teaching job to work full time as the worship director at St Thomas' Crookes, starting in September. I am so excited about the chance to do something I've always wanted to doand felt called to and looking forward to the fun and challenges ahead. It's a real testament to how God knows the desires of your heart and in his timing can make them come to fruition. My school have been great about me leaving and my Head of Department was very excited for me, again defiantly a God thing. so a time of lots of changes and new starts in the next 4 months!!!

House, House, House

Well sorry its been far too long since we last posted - we have become addicted to face book!! Also life at moment has become very busy. Work on our new house has begun and for the last 2 weeks we've been stripping wallpaper and ripping up carpets. The builders are now in and making lots of mess - and the kitchen fitter has begun the new kitchen. It's all very exciting but very tiring. If we're not at the house then we're at B&Q etc look at tiles or kitchen sinks! As an aside i never relised how expensive taps were. £100 for a kitchen tap!!!! crazy!!!! I'll post a few pic's showing the work so far when i've downloaded the camera.
