Tonight 9pm on ...channel four I think!

I hope there is lots about those HUGE dresses. I found it quite endearing how the girls design them and get them JUST how they want them.

eta: yes, 9, c4 called ''Big Fat Gypsy weddings''. Wasn;t the last one called that too?

I've identified a hotel to stay in, potentially, for 12 days... to go spec out an area. Not booked it yet though, but I've got an idea of price. It's "dead posh", it's 3 AA stars, so posher than anything I've ever stayed in before. Then Valentine's Day more than doubles the room rate, so I'll go for 12 days just for a poke around the area.

Need to get this tax return filled in, submitted... THEN make bookings. Not touched it today

Goodness, thats a long time to explore an area! I hope you have fun It will be good to have some space, even if not your own.

Well, explore =
- look around
- identify/contact job agencies
- look at some flats

The trouble is, if you find a flat online you want to rent, it can take 3-4 weeks from seeing it to getting into it, even if it's empty. And that's if you can get to view them at all. Agents never ever seem to be in their office or get back to me... and the last time I tried to rent I was left "hanging", having been 'forced' to put a moving in date onto the application form, the LLs then decided to titfer about the place for a further week.... not good when you're gearing up towards a date they forced you to put on the form.

As for jobs, I don't expect to get one of those either. By the time you've found an agency and a job and sent your CV off, even if the employer's interested and you get an interview date it can be 2-3 weeks.

So I guess I'll view it as more of a walking about/enjoying myself time in the end.

I will need to "apply for proper jobs", because where I am going to look at is so expensive that it'll take all my current income. So I'd need to supplement that with a 2nd income, called a job

Almost time for big fat gypsy wedding! I'm looking forward to the 20st dress with butterflies and fairy lights.

The women in this video deserves a medal, if more people behaved like this the country would be a far happier place.

Sorry Miss K, I don't do spuds either. Till recently, I didn't have the space, and now I don't have the inclination. Like tomterm, I try to grow stuff that stores easily and/or costs more.

Anyway, our garden is still in a state of flux and there still isn't much room in the untouchable bit where the veggies go. Elsewhere, I'm preparing for the next phase with the digger and the 4 tonne dumper! With those, we can move whole trees to new homes, and they hardly notice.
