LT:rotfl:and from what I have heard it is only when running he has the prolem:rotfl:

CBM: Packing.......am getting there I think, have borrowwd a set of boxes from a friend and am being loggical this time: kitchen stuff in one box, work in another and so on.

I have managed to fit ALL the clothes I own in 1 yes thats right 1 rucksack:D
Paid a chunck off the rent today and will pay more tmw, looks like I might be lucky and get the keys tmw so I can move some small stuff in.

Must start the ringing round and changing address bit: especiall for getting my internet up and running.....god....what am I going to do without it :eek:

Claw_back_money

Oh it will be good to get the keys early and not have that one day of panic - I hope that all works for you.
Clothes in one rucksack - wow . Do they all fit? I've got loads but in assorted sizes...

mmmmm my clothes all fit, I just don't have that many of them:D

Will pop in to the agents tmw and pay more off the rent: I can't take the whole lot out at once which is a pain and have realsised it is bank holiday and my bank might not be open:o so maybe even get some keys tmw, though I doubt it.....but it would be nice.

Hopefully you got some more money on Thursday - this money hassle I guess is because of your new bank account?
Good luck with packing etc.

Cheers

:j:j all moved:j:j

only just got internet though, on of those mobile broadband things. Have gort bank accounts sorted and have firm grasp on the money situation...........its going to be very very close for a while ut lets just see what we can do.

DD's love the place thankfully, as does recycled fat cat (lots of windows for him to curl up in).
Not had any NSD's though but we shall see what I can manage for May....maybe even half of May yeah right:rotfl:

glad you've moved and you all like the new place. Would have loved to send you a card... i'm the card sender type

Claw_back_money

Hooray - happy new flat!!! :j Has there been a change of school for the DDs - if so hope that all goes well too.

I echo LT on the card sending, I love making and sending cards. Its a shame MSN PMs don't allow attachments as you can't even have a silly internet one.

Very best wishes

No change of school for DD's they aare both a lot closer so can walk now:D

Although so far we did manage to give the landlady a fright.....she lives in the flat below having split from her husband and has 2 HUGE bearded collie dogs , very cute
I got a paniced call from her last week about 1030 PM...............she had come home to find her dogs chasing our escapologist hamster round her kitchen:rotfl:one hamster duly caught! oops:D

Suddednyl realised that I don't just have to put MSE in my diary DUH!

Mind you yesterday was a NSD and so will today be: I have to put petrol in, its budgeted and I should ahve done it last night but forgot.
Also realised that I haven't updated my signature in quite a while and not really been that MSE anyway.

The flat is good, friends call it a 'loft appartment' lots of windows and light, fairly neutral decor and an excellent power shower .....heating doesn't work at all so need to get that sorted before winter.

Have sorted out a budget: fairly tight but I am determined to manage.

Need to repot my tomato plants that have had a manic growing phase: all I have to do is work out where to put them now.

Work is picking up, all I have to do is convert the jobs in, into money ( not as easy as it looks but will get there).

Went to London last weekend for a marathon ( not the London one) and hhad a cheap night in a very very plush/expensive hotel, thanks to a friend and a lovely meal in a french resteraunt.

Think I am finally sorting my life out:D, not so many down days where I wonder if I will ever get out of debt/finish degree/make money/run a sub 3:30 marathon

am taking each day at a time and not beating myself up if I don't hit my sometimes very un realistic targets.
