Central heating

I find this quite interesting. Having just moved from a flat with no real decent heating, into a flat with central heating, I have always been used to putting on more clothes rather than wasting money on electric for the heating (as was in the old flat).

I’d be interested to know how many people rather walk around their home with t-shirt and heating on, rather than just put more clothes on? The environmentalist in me screams that it’s bad to use too much water, gas and electric, so I am on the side of putting more clothes on rather than whipping the heating on.

Have to admit though, the last flat was too cold, even with multiple layers on it was still too cold…the wonders of central heating…hello gas, goodbye night storage. Hoorah.

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

Not sleeping well

I have been known to sleep walk - and when I started doing it I would say to Graham to just tell me to go to bed, and it would work. Anyway, last night was a new adventure. I managed to get myself out of bed - jumping out I reckon and then hurt myself really hard in various odd places on a bed side drawers and a free-standing radiator. This morning I am not such a happy bunny. I’ve managed to hurt my ribs, underneath my arm (the bruise is purple..eek), my leg, my foot (opposite side to the bruise on my leg….heaven knows how…), and to add insult to injury I managed to knock over a glass of dilute juice onto a cream carpet which I had to scrub out at 2 in the morning, oh and get the juice also ALL over my side of the bed. It’s not my week I’ve decided. Hopefully the weekend will be better.

Well Nothing Much Happened Lately…

I moved office at work - moving office is hellish isn’t it? All settled in now - phone line connected too!!! but it completely disrupted my regular work

In other news, I’m starting the intermediate swim lessons soon - heyho - if I’m going to swim I may as well do it competely properly. I’m starting them tomorrow and really looking forward to it. Got a really good instructor. She’s taught the most anti-swimming person to swim - she really has performed a miracle

And…ALSO learning to drive too!! It’s all go here. Had my first lesson yesterday…and errr…I managed to start the car and drive in a straight line. In.a.nutshell I didn’t crash. I suppose I will feel more confident in further weeks.
