For some reason I've found myself waking up at 4:xx in the morning. It's quite annoying. It usually takes until about 5:45 until I get to sleep again. Perhaps I should keep a handy hammer by the bedside to knock myself out with ( Read more... )

If I ever, ever, ever tell you that I'm going to replace my carpets ever again, you have my permission to thwack me over the head with something hard, throw me in a car boot and then dump me in the middle of a deep, dark forest. I am so over moving furniture. So over it.

But it's not over.

Hello internets. Remember me? Probably not given that I have you only through my iPhone and through the crippled internet of my work. Would it suprise you, my dear internet, how much more expensive it is to have the slower service of ADSL vs the mind-blowing speeds of ADSL2+? Well let me tell you now it's significantly unbalanced ( Read more... )

Apparently the first house inspection went well. Yet I can't help but be skeptical of the claims made by my agents. Did twenty groups actually go through my house on Saturday morning? Can they actually achieve for me the figure they've been peddling? I have no way of knowing. I'm just along for the ride, albeit a ride that requires me to clean a ( Read more... )

I don't think I shall be releasing The Narcissist's Pizza and Pie Cookbook or becoming the leader of a cult any time soon. This is not because I couldn't. No, instead I have decided to go into accounting for multinational corporations where, like my weight, success is judged on dodgy scales ( Read more... )

So yes, I have signed papers to the effect that I will be selling my house. After the carpet was laid I had the agents in the next day and signed with them an hour later. I've probably been ripped off. They probably saw me a mile away. But everyone gets a cut, and I'm sure mine will be the biggest in the end ( Read more... )

All of the furniture in the house has now been shifted to the lounge/living room, which has some brilliant new carpet in it. However, I stirred up so much dust in my bedroom that I've gone and caused some kinda asthmatic reaction, so I'm now wheezing like an old man climbing stairs. Wisely (I think?) I've decided that I shall be sleeping in the ( Read more... )

Four day weekends just emphasize how much it should be the norm rather than the exception. I didn't actually get out of the house that much, focussed as I was on finishing painting, which I almost did. The first portion of carpet goes down this arvo, and all the furniture from the lounge and reading area has been stacked into the dining room. My ( Read more... )

I have tortured the muscles in my arms, shoulders and back, and I've probably bruised my hands, all in the name of home renovation. I hope never again to apply a layer of paint to a ceiling of my place's size until Alzheimer's kicks in (at which point I shall also be putting my slippers in the freezer and calling everyone I meet "Henry ( Read more... )
