Dear Mum,
Our new house is going well and the money has not run out yet! I'm sending you a photo. As you can see, a lot has been done since you were here in September. The walls have been painted, the roof has been put on. The doors and the windows have not been put on yet - next week, hopefully. At the moment, most of the work is being done inside the house. As I'm writing, the walls are being painted and the kitchen is being fitted. The bathroom has been fitted. Three more weeks and it will all be over. You must come and see it.
Love,
Phil
