Moving house

I come from a very large family and recently my parents

have decided

(DECIDE) that they

had spent

(SPEND)

long enough living in an overcrowded house in Birmingham. “We

are moving

(MOVE) to the country”, my

father

announced

(ANNOUNCE) one evening. “I

am selling/ am going to sell/will sell

(SELL) this house and we

will

live /will be living / are going to live

(LIVE) on a farm”.

So last week we

loaded

(LOAD) all our belongings into two hired vans, and for the last few days we

have been

trying

(TRY) to organise ourselves in our new home. Yesterday, for example, my two brothers and I

started

(START) painting the upstairs rooms. Unfortunately, while I

was mixing

(MIX) the paint, one of my brothers

opened

(OPEN) the door. Nobody

told

(TELL) him that we

were

(BE) in the room. So instead of painting the

walls we

spent

(SPEND) al morning cleaning paint off the floor.

But worse things

have happened

(HAPPEN) since then. This morning, when I

woke

(WAKE) up, water

was

dripping

(DRIP) through the ceiling next to my bed. We

have spent

(SPENT) the last five hours repairing the

roof. It is not all bad news though. The school in the village nearby

closed

(CLOSE) down two years ago, and

my parents

have not found

(NOT FIND) another school for us yet.
