Moved in!
Well, I've moved in to my new property! Hurrah!
Been there just a few days, and as always there feels like there is so much to do, but it's all worth it. The view from my flat is pretty spectacular, and I woke up yesterday morning with my head in the clouds! (literally. There was a fog-bank around my building).
I've got the landline sorted, just placed order for new mobile, and broadband is on the way (BT say 25th, but I'm hoping a lot sooner)- so I'm gradually knocking things off my to-do list. I'm still miles from being fully unpacked, and I really want to give the flat a good clean at some point (well - hoover at least, if not shampoo the carpets).
Its quite tough at the moment.... as I don't have internet access, and Jade's phone is broken I'm feeling quite isolated from her at the moment. I'm sticking around in the office to get what little extra time I can with her before heading home to unpack, but I'm really looking forward to seeing her and watching the meteor shower with her this weekend.
So far I have the kitchen fully unpacked, put away, washed down, and ready for use. Hurrah! I can come home and cook amazing meals for myself when I've had a hard day at the office. Next up should be the bathroom (when i get my hoover home - tonight I expect). I'm already in love with the shower - its a godsend after the last place, and definitely somewhere I can see myself spending a lot of time.
Oooh, ooh, and also I haven't had the heating on yet - and don't consider the flat to be "cold"....so I could end up saving money on the electricity depending on how cold it ends up getting in the winter.
I'm sure I'll add other things as I think of them - but if anyone wants me address / phone number - please email me alex dot sweetman at gmail dot com.
