Write a peom together - you write 1 or 2 lines, he writes the next.

Write I LOVE YOU on your shepherds pie

Sorry, best I can up with....

Wow, I've missed loads!

Yay for not leaving me out of the lottery! And even bigger yay for paying me out of your share so I don't have to spend £1 on a ticket

It's a bit sucky that you were right about your flatmate, but at least you know now, and you know you can afford to live alone if you find somewhere suitable. Imagine the mess if you'd been in your old job eh?

As for the night in together, why not get all dressed up and have a formal night at home?

And then theres the entertainment (and I'm talking PG rated here people!)

PG = Parental Guidance. How do you think they became parents..?

We spend quite a bit of our time relaxing in front of the tv, or having a nice bath together.
:rolleyes:

Don't roll your eyes like that. Shared showers/baths are very nice and terribly romantic.
Cynic...

So I was thinking of getting him to bring his camera round (behave !!!!) and us just spending the evening taking black and white photos of bits of each other (again lets keep it clean!), I'm not a great facial photographee, and me and the BF dont really have any photos of each other apart from ones from a family wedding last summer.

Hmm, I can see that getting rude very quickly. A sensual picture of your lateral cuneiform to stick in his wallet?

One of the best things I got was a bunch of jam tarts with little hearts made out of pastry on them. Yes, I'm a soft romantic who needs a good slapping.

There are some quite freaky people out there:wave:

:hello: Yoo hoo!

CAFCGirl

Yoo hoo!

I'm glad someone waved back!

Peaches you're right about the old job, I'd be up that well known creek!
Just hoping this viewing works out, because I'd be covered on all the bills there too....
But there is always the lottery..............

You not fond of your ankles either?

CAFCGirl

One persons ankles might be another persons............ yoohoo!

Anyway doesnt matter because BF has !!!!!! all over the idea anyway so resigning myself to doing nothing on valentines unless he organises it.
Dont see why I should make all the effort only to be made to feel like an idiot for it............

Happy Days

And a no spender for me today, its about time.

Starting to think I was lagging behind.

Got a gs bill today for £280 since october though, so not dreadful, however it is estimated. So v.tempted to find out what mine actually is and ring them up and get it changed. Not gonna be able to pay it all in one go either, so gonna have to offer a lump sum come payday and then some more later.

I hate bills!

So what do I need to do?
1.Inform landlord
2.Find new place to live
3. Source loan for new deposit (pay back when old deposit is released) talk very nicely to parents.
4.Money saved for fees
5.Write to all utility companies and ask for final bills
6.Write to council and inform them of change of address
7.Write to all credit/bank companies inform of change of address

What else have I forgotten people?!

5a - TV licence - is it in one of your names or both or neither right now?
5b - get a postal redirect form (or you might be able to do it on the website I haven't checked) so you have time to move all your post to the new place and it will pick up anything you might have forgotten to change straight away.

If the new place does include council tax you might get a little rebate when you both move out of the current place depending on how you pay for it.


Sorry this isn't a fun valentine idea post but I'm not a valentine person really.

Also 5c, let your employer *and* the tax office know you've moved.

They say that, then the choccies and the roses go in, and then everything changes...

CAFCGirl

Ah ha, good idea Bobbie.

TV License darling mum pays for so just need to change the address.

I've got the post office redirect/holding post forms.
And to let work know I just have to send them an email, so thats pretty easy.

Not too sure whether or not to be excited about viewing place tomorrow, dont wanna get my hopes up in case its blah!
However the listing has changed on the website and it now has the property as being furnished, which will obv' be a problem as I already have too much stuff! So might see if thats likely to be changeable, if not I'm gonna have to think of what I can do on that one............. hmmmmmmmm....
