Growing herbs
I grew some herbs this year, from seeds. Year on year I try and they always get to a spindley looking stage and die. Not this year!!! I’ve had them on the spare room windowsill and they love it there. I’ve watered them a bit and left them to it, and they’ve grown like weeds! Well they can carry on as they please, they’ll look nice in the new flats kitchen.
Electric Mayhem
Madness reigns at the moment. We’ve got a lot going on hehe. We’ve got various family and friends events coming up and we’re organising a wedding for next year and trying to move.
We’ve opted for a lovely flat, which is a definate upgrade on the one we are currently in. It’s got double glazing and gas, a balcony and a garage amongst other perks!!! It’ll all be worth it in the end! We have had a provisional agreement now from the landlord, which is excellent and now the estate agents is dealing with the paperwork we’ve sent in. Good thing that this estate agents doesn’t seem to be inept at all. We had a very bad experience moving with our last estate agents and so far I am {shock} quite pleased with them. Seeing as we have to hand over a small fortune it’s nice that they’re working for they’re money.
We also have sky points in the new flat so Graham has been looking at the best and cheapest way to get the tv, telephone and phone line. That in itself has been fun {sarcasm}.
Given we’re so busy (and spending money like it’s water it seems - we paid our hotel deposit for the wedding last month too) I’ve sat down with calendars printed from MS Publisher and set out how many weeks we have before we move, any birthdays, family and friend events, hols etc and set out in black and white with how many weekends we have to pack and prepare. Not many it seems.
Last time we moved, we only moved. This time, we’re moving, have loads of various events going on and wedding plans are in the pipeline, which as it happens I have to make progress with soon too. It’s stressful but I think we can definately do it all.
Another thing I have done is excel spreadsheets with the money stuff on. This all costs dosh too! It’s fun being us at the moment! It is going to be hard, once we get into October to relax, but it’s going to be worth moving.
Oh and we signed our wedding hotel contract last week. Signing our lives away at this rate. LOL
