For Sale

Thats lee's wee flat up for sale as of today - its on the espc website if anyone is intersted in buying a flat in Edinburgh lol =)
Only went on the site this morning and already we have a viewer coming on Wednesday!!
Feels more real everyday. Cant wait until we move and im hoping this sells quick so we can move in quicker to our new pad.

Least I can say I have lived in the City even if only for a few months, but in all honesty I cant say I'm going to miss it! It took me 45 mins to get a parking space last night and even at that I was parked outside a put right at the Hib's football ground - thankfully my wee car was ok this morning when i got back to it!

So the move is on - wedding plans are totally on hold for the time being even though I am itching to get things moving with that.

Kinda better get back to work, but dont seem to have much time to blog at home nowadays as usally knackerd by the time i get in or playing Warcrack... sorry Warcraft! =) Bloddy Lee's fault!

We are home owners!!

Woo hoo!
We decided to bite the bullet and put an offer in on one of the flats we seen on Saturday.
Its a 2 bed 1st level (only is ground then 1st so there is attic space!) flat in Greenhill Square, Bonnybridge.
We put the offer in yesterday with a possible entry date of April 25 (not long to go really) on the basis that we sell this flat quick. Got the call today to say they were happy to accept our offer..... =D yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So thats my good news so far =)
Been cleaning they flat like i have major OCD! Was off today and lee was half day as we went to see his financial adviser guy (mental guy buy knows his stuff), so we managed to get a load of stuff packed into both cars and dumped them at mum's before he went to work for the rest of the day (poor thing!)
He is due home any min' and I am done in for the day - I cant do any more cleaning i and sooo shattered! Plus have done my back in moving, cleaning and lifting stuff! Urgh!

Roll on April!!!

House Hunting

Yes thats right folks I'm on the move again!
We have talked about moving but Lee thought his fixed rate didn't finish until April, until that is he got a letter saying the mortgage payments are going up by an extra £200!! Eek!
So he made the decision to put the wee flat on the market and go house hunting.

This weekend has been busy to say the least! We went to see about 4 places all really nice but we are finding storage a bit of a problem in them, need a cupboard big enough to hold his drum kit.
We are debating right now as to put an offer in on one of them... so will keep you posted about that.

Apart from that I have totally gutted the kitchen and have it shining like a shilling right now and have warned lee not to mess it up!
We have so much to by friday that I need to cut this short, only stopping for a wee tea break lol

Feeling better..

...thankfully, but unfortunately back to work on Monday!
Gotta go back sometime I suppose. I know most went back on the 3rd (or the 2nd like poor Lee) So I guess I really shouldn't complain too much.

Just cant be bothered going back, its always the same after been off work for a wee while.

Been so bored the past few days, couldn't face going out at all as was just feeling lousy and though I feel a million times better I just still couldn't face going out! So (we) have sat in all day and did nothing.

Been trying my hand at digital scrap booking but having a hard time getting off to a good start. Just cant seem to get my head round it!!! urgh!!! so annoying lol Need to invest in a good program to use i think.

So haven't really had a production few days off sick! Lee is off for band rehearsal tomorrow so off to Ocean Terminal to spend my xmas vouchers and get some fresh air! and food stuff for work.

Pretty boring start to the new year huh? wish had something interesting to write about by my mind is just at a blank seeing as I haven't really done anything interesting to write about!
God I'm rambling now must be the paracetamol kicking in lol

Laters!

Didnt quite make it to work..

Gotta love WiFi internet.

Didnt make it into work today :( Feel absolutely awful! Totally chocked with the cold like you wouldn’t believe. I hate calling into work sick as I always feel like a fraud, I hardly get sick and when I do I always tend to muddle on and go into work regardless. But not today - for a start Lee wouldn’t let me and secondly, every time I move my head it feels like it is going to explode which isn’t good.

So I’m stuck at home on my own again seeing as he is working, think will probably be off tomorrow as well, going by how i feel right now that is.Will have to get dressed and head off out at some point to get some drugs and tissues which in all honesty I’m not looking forward to doing as pure and simply I cant be arsed getting outta this warm bed to stuff - also the fact that I have a exploding head! So will have to see about that, Might just take parcetamol for my head and hope it works until Lee gets home then he can go out and get me stuff :)

Dont want to go back to work... =(

Tomorrow sees me back at work and to honest I don't want to go - will only be back for 2 days then its the weekend so hardly see the point, but needs must I suppose.
Poor Lee he has hardly been off :( Hes back today, because its an English company they don't get the 2nd off like most scots do. Though have to admit most shops and business are open today to rake in the money of the start of the January Sales.
The holidays are changing or maybe I'm just growing up and it has always been this way. When I was wee the holidays seemed to last for ever and everyone was happy and didn't need to work as they were off, now it seems it has all become too commercialized and people are forgetting what this time of year is all about.

This is going to be a busy year for me & Lee (of course) as we really need to get down to the nitty gritty of planning our wedding.
Weddings are expensive and time consuming to boot!

We are going to Napier sometime over the next 2 weeks to hand over out deposit for the hire of the rooms. Then we wont hear anything from them until March next year I guess..... I know we have ages to go but I think I am going to need this year to get things sorted.
We are planning on doing our own stationary as we have seen how ridiculously expensive a bit of paper can be all because has "Wedding" on it! So sorry extortionate invitations making companies you wont be getting our money!
If we can cut costs on some aspects we have more to spend on other things.
Also I couldn't believe the price of photographers!! they start from £500 for 10 measly photos to £2000 for 100!
Boy am I seriously in the wrong profession, where weddings are concerned there is a fortune to be made!

Oh the joys!

Happy New Year

Wow 2008 all ready!? Last year went too fast.

Had a pretty shit hogmany to be honest - we had our first fight :( yeah I know great way to celebrate the New Year. We were supposed to be heading over to friends for a few drinks and see in the new year, but that didn’t happen, I didn’t much feel like socializing with mascara run eyes/cheeks! I think last night was the first time I have seen him really mad and the first time I have cried in a long long time. I’m not going into why we were arguing, but put it this way I would hate to argue again as we would break too much furniture…. he somehow managed to break the wee table in the living room.. didn’t see as I was walking downstairs but heard it. Least it wasn’t me huh?

The atmosphere is tense here the now, but I hope it will blow over, but im not one to forgive easily so maybe that will have to be one of my new years resolutions.

Speaking of which i am taking part in 101 things to do in 1001 days :) that list will be be my resolutions.

Anyhow off the now don't feel like blogging much right now…
