2010: New Year, New Flat, New Plan.........

ehallett · 5 January 2010 at 12:02AM

Not long to go now. Getting so excited :j:j:j:j

I haven't got much done today due to the house being freezing and my need to stay in the only room that I can keep warm!!

Anyway, I called the utilities companies. My electric/gas looks like it will be around £40 cheaper (on their estimation) and I'm getting a £60 rebate on my water bill which is great. Might have more from the council tax too. BT are fitting my phone line on the 18th which is costing me £125 :mad:. However, I plan to stay in that flat until they literally chuck me out so figure it's worth it.

I have packed away most of my clothes, but need another suitcase as I had more than I thought. I am just going to have to grit my teeth and get on with it tomorrow night though as I am running out of time.

I start my new hours at work tomorrow so don't have to be in until 9.40am. Means I can have a lie in every day

. My new cooked breakfast regime starts next week too. Hopefully that should pile on the pounds before my next check-up in february.

Off to be for me, after reading a chapter of my book.

Night all

So take it you have reduced your hours at work then?
How many sleeps?

4 more sleeps to go :j:j

I haven't reduced my hours (won't do that until the debt has gone). I'm just working 30 hours over 5 days a week instead of 4 so I am going in later and getting a bit more sleep each morning. It was quite nice this morning not to have to rush around and go into work at my own pace.

Not a bad day today. My colleague was back at work so wasn't as busy. It was nice to go in a bit later too, the day didn't drag as much.

I managed to bag a couple of free tickets to the cinema at the end of the month which is good. My mate also talked me into doing a zumba class next month!! They have said it is low impact and I can go at my own pace so hopefully it won't knacker me out too much but will improve my lung capacity a bit. I think my doctor at the hospital will faint when he finds out I am getting some exercise!! He is always nagging me to do more.

I need a list of jobs for tonight so I don't just stay curled up in my room again like yesterday:

Finish packing my clothes and sort some out for the charity shop (some I haven't worn for ages and need to go!).
Clear out kitchen cupboards and pack away what I can.
Get another couple of bags of rubbish done up and outside.
Organise boxes in a more orderly fashion!
Clear out stuff in the bathroom.

Do all that and then I can relax. Need to go to the supermarket on the way home too and get my ready meals for the rest of the week and some more bin liners.

Hi Pap

Thank you :A. I am all out of my old house, temporarily homeless until 11am and my worldly belongings are in a van and my car. It was trickly yesterday with the snow and ice. I slipped a few times packing the car up and broke my George Foreman grill :rolleyes:. Could have been worse I suppose, could have been the TV or something!

I have got all of the money for the deposit and first month's rent. Can't wait to get into my flat, it will be heaven compared to that cold house, and you just don't know how cold it was over the past few days!!
