Ok so its been VERY quiet here, my bad.

In my defence I’ve been quite busy moving house and don’t really have much in the way of internet access (unless ‘borrowed’ wireless internets in one corner and a half-working 3G dongle in another corner count).

But the good news can be summarised as follows:

• The old flat of doom is GONE and sold!! For the asking price!! Which means I have now paid off a scary amount from credit cards – hooray! I have resolved to next time just save up enough money first, before doing building work

• I’ve moved to Brighton, which has amazingly lived up to expectations! Weather is UTTERLY WONDERFUL so far, walking to work is BRILLIANT and the job is also good too – challenging but not impossible, nice people, fantastic nearby pubs and free toast to boot!
• I’ve just exchanged contracts on the flat I’m buying, nice and near-ish the sea, in the lovely quiet-ish (but not too quiet) Hove and with hugely high ceilings. Yum! It’s even in good enough condition that it can be ‘done up’ gradually by proper carpenters / plubmers / etc rather than in a rush by (mostly) rubbish builders, as last time. We move in a week tomorrow!
• as if that wasn’t enough I’m off on holiday (that I can now afford) the week after moving flat. So I have the lovely Italian food and countryside to enjoy with Bobble (who is, of course, still lovely as well).

Hoorah!
