Well this week has been a busy one, mostly getting organised to move into my flat. I thought I was going to move in Monday, but then the past tenants hadn't even taken all of their gear out and hadn't even cleaned carpets or any cleaning. I had to fork out the six months rent though, ouch! But on the good side, I have a beautifully modern flat, that is relatively new and not too dirty, and in comparison with the rentals in the area, was a good monthly rent. So now that that is all paid up, I have also had two very kind neighbours that have loaned me a couple pieces of furniture and I was able to purchase a couch from one neighbour for a song, as she was sick of it and wanted a new one! I wasn't going to argue with her :) I am also going to inherit a dining table soon as well, as she is updating hers :) I have got to say that I'm no longer worried by tramping around the charity shops here in England to see what they have on offer for a very good price and a lot of them have furniture, I bought quite a lot of other items there too, not telling and you wouldn't know what was pre loved and what was new! Particularly when I am accustomed to a champagne taste but now having to have beer ( or skrimpy cider!) or none. I had to laugh the other day when I went to the beach, I went and asked the bar person for a lime and soda, I got a few squirts of lime in tap water! Had no pub squash, and as ar as Lemon lime bitters, forget it! They haven't a clue!
Anyway I have taken a few shots of my place, thought you might like to see inside and also my view outside, amongst all the trees and the birds.
I'm working on a sexy bum and tight leg muscles again! Yep have to go up these several times a day, god my legs are killing me, day two, I'm sure it will get easier!
Ok you have made it up the stair. congratulations! Now on the landing looking down the all, into the Living Room or what we would class the Lounge Room.
Spare bedroom on the right, and if you have ideas of coming for a stay, it's carpet only at the moment, although Argos or Tesco's do a very good blow up mattress :)
My pre loved couch :) pretty cool huh? Small table is first house warming pressie :)
Other direction :)
My Tv corner, notice anything missing?
Looking outside my lounge room window.
Also from my front window, but a little to the left, these trees are beautiful, the birds love them.
Bedroom 1, managed to get a reasonable mattress, but I hate sleeping on the floor! My asthma flairs up :(
Bathroom
My kitchen

View of next doors garden :)
View from my dining room window at 8.30/9.00pm Those units are a little way away, so it's nice and quite here :)
Changing the subject now, still no word on the job front, I'm going to hound the funeral Monday, as I know he has been training his silent partner this week, so is time I actually found out if he wants me or not! I continue with the many applications every day, something better give soon! At least now I can concentrate solely on that, have a roof over my head, food in the fridge, a car to drive to interviews (please) and very soon more lovely visitors from Aus coming, so that will be nice. For now I have to be a bit frugal and watch the pennies, so will try and go see a few things on the weekends, that don't cot a fortune. Once I'm in the land of the employed, a different matter, there a few places I want to explore. So I hope I don't bore you too much with pics of the flat!
I actually am about to post all my going away shots too for my beautiful friends, so stay tuned till next blog, love to you all xxxxxx
