hiTirl - rather you than me from the sound of that.... Is there no way your normal partner can find someone else to play with?

tirlittan

Well, the problem is, it's not my usual partner and I 'stole' another partner who will now have no one else to play with if I don't go. I don't think it'll set my recovery back too much though, especially now that I have proper medication.

Had our softball team awards dinner last night. Was nice to meet up with everyone after couple of weeks. I was also voted most valuable female player which was really nice. I don't usually get anything so was really nice to be recognised.

Bf has been looking furniture on gumtree,wardrobes,chest of draws,sofas...no replies yet but today I hope. Really struggling to find cardboard boxes to move stuff,any ideas?
Managed to sort out a van and a trailer for free for us to go and get bf's stuff from North Wales, so I think that's happening next weekend. It's all starting to come together.

Just a quick pop in to say good luck with the move!!!

I usually get apple boxes from Asda and Tesco and use them... Those collapsible crates you can get for about £1.50 from supermarkets and b and q are also good

Hope the game and the move goes well....

Congrats on your award - that would make my year to be voted something like that!

tirlittan

It made my season as well, I never get voted for anything like that. Also in the whole of the season thing, all the other teams voted me rookie of the year. I was so pleased,I didn't even think I had a chance so was lovely.

Think box situation is sorted now. I didn't even think asking work, but was talking to the lady who's in charge of stores and she's sorted me out some now. Bf wants to move his stuff on Sunday and then if I have to do the vb comp, I'll move on Tuesday.
Tomorrow I'll have my friends wedding. They're getting married in a registry office but then have a blessing on the beach on the volleyball court. Hopefully the weather turns nice.

Bf also bought some dining chairs for us yesterday. 6 habitat ones for £100. Not too bad I think as they're all in very good nick and cost £75/chair new. I'm bit annoyed I have no money to buy anything for the flat, it's all going to be bf's again....but unfortunately, atm, I just have to live with that.

tirlittan

Oh yes, and finally received my onepo11 money! £40 extra in bank account!!! So needed...

savingholmes

Glad that the boxes thing is sorted.... The blessing on the beach sounds nice too.... Your BF sounds very supportive

Hope the competition and move goes well

Hiya saving and CMD!

Wedding was very lovely and nice and all in all totally different from anything I've been to before. Instead of first dance, the couple had 'first volleyball game' - against each other! Bride won! It was really nice day and the weather held, it was sunny but quite cold towards the end because of the wind on the beach.

Bf is being very supportive and lovely. We moved him in on Sunday and me on Monday. I got out of the games which was good and gave us time to do all the moving. Yesterday we went to ikea and bf bought a wardrobe,couple of bookcases and a desk. I don't know if he actually has the money or is just putting it on his cheap rate cc. He's got debts,student loan etc, but I think atm, having just graduated, he doens't really see the debt as a problem as he's expecting to get an even better paid job. And I'm sure he will because he's very good at what he does and motivated.

I feel very lucky being with him, he's such a lovely guy. But after ex, my mind set is totally different and I just can't let myself believe that this might actually work. Bf has really not given me any reason to believe this, but that's just how it is. I think about future a lot more than I ever used to. Maybe that's an age thing as well, who knows.

hi glad you got out of the games has to be better for your elbows to rest them. Glad BF is being supportive.... and that the move went well
