It's All A-Changing!

Oh how the times are a-changing! Since my last post (which was, I am fully aware, rather downbeat) things have dramatically changed.

I have found a new job - ah, much rejoicing and jolly merriment all round - which, whilst not my ideal job, is at least full time and will bring in the much-needed pennies. The pennies are in much greater need now as the BF and I have been offered a house. Yes, the damn housing people have pulled their fingers out and we are signing papers and getting the keys on Friday! Now all we need is a cooker, a washing machine, a sofa and a fridge. Not too much to ask, surely...?!

It's all happened so fast, I think my head is spinning around. Or maybe I have taken Felix Felicis and tomorrow everything will be crap again. No. I can't think like that. It's just a lot to take in at once. And it's two things checked off my list that I wrote earlier this year. So that's good.

I hate packing though. There's so much stuff to go through, it's not possible that we need all the junk that has accumulated. And then there's trying to find a new home for everything once you move in. The whole process is a bit of a nightmare. All be worth it though. I'm starting the new job on Tuesday as well, so it's literally all happening at the same time. I don't know how my brain will cope! I will probably be very stressy. Oh won't that be fun for BF...! Actually, the job will be less stressy than the moving. We have so much to sort out - changing addresses, setting up internet, tv license and who knows what else.

It's going to be so amazing to have our own space though. I can't wait to wake up and be able to say "this is my house". Then we can get our cats. That will be fun. I just really hope this place has a bath, as I've been told that not all of them do. I'm waiting for the housing woman to email me some pictures. If it doesn't I will be a bit disappointed, but I suppose we could get a bath?

And decorating! All my hours spent collecting pictures of interiors on Pinterest will finally have their moment. I have an idea of how I'd like each room to look, but of course I want BF to have a say. It is our place after all. I'm not some sort of decorating dictator!

And now I must depart, as I have to begin the organisation process. Boxes must be acquired, things put in them and labels attached. Lists must be made about changing address - who on earth needs to be notified?! Firstly I need a to-do list...
