Will update properly soon, promise. In the middle of moving and it’s a stressful time. But I’m determined to be completely moved out by this weekend. Then I can collapse.
My inspiration has good timing… it just so happens that in the midst of all this I’ve been doing some serious writing. Figures.
Arg!

Seriously, I’m getting way too many spam comments on here and I’m sick of it. Any ideas how to get rid of them, anyone? I’m going insane.
The flat I mentioned in my last post went to someone else, but we went to look at another one last night and loved it too. So we took it! I’m going to get the keys today because Michaela’s at work and we can move in any time. I’m a little freaked out. I’ve moved out before, yes, but that was my sister’s flat, so she was basically my landlord. She also paid for most things, like council tax and BT and tv licence, etc. We have to sort all that out, and somehow move all our crap there. I have so much stuff, and none of my family drive so that’s not looking good.
But for now I’m off to get food!
Oh – and I started writing properly again yesterday. Hurrah! Hope the inspiration doesn’t go away.
Isn’t it Friday yet?!
October 8, 2009
It’s been a hectic week. On Tuesday Michaela and I went to see a flat, but we didn’t expect much because it was quite low rent and we had no idea where it was. Turns out it’s two minutes from a bus stop we can both use and we were extremely impressed with the flat itself. It’s huge. Lots of space, plenty of cupboard space, spacious kitchen, high ceilings and – my favourite part – a pantry! I was mentally adding all my baking ingredients to the shelves. It need a bit of a clean and there’s one or two little cracks around, also the carpets badly need changed but these are all things the landlord will do before anyone moves in apparently. The bedrooms are huge too and the living room and the larger bedroom have big bay windows. We fell in love, basically. Though there was a massive spider in the bath… I mean it was the size of a tennis ball, seriously. Shudder. The next night we went back to have another look at it, and it really is perfect. I tried calling up today about it but I couldn’t get the letting agent we needed to talk to, so I’ll try again tomorrow. If we get it, we can move in on November 1st. Just in time for Christmas!
So yes, I’m excited. I shouldn’t get my hopes up though, cos someone else might get it. Must be calm. But it’d be great… I could sleep in a little later in the morning too, because it’s closer to Glasgow than I am now. I could be home a full hour earlier than I normally get home! That’s a major plus.
Will keep you posted!

Love it!!
Have had a nice quiet cosy weekend, like the little old lady I am. Friday night Michaela and I went for burgers and mocktails (she was driving) and then discovered Urban Outfitters was having a lock in – open till 10pm with 20% off everything! So we got the very first item for our flat – a set of multi-coloured test tubes for shots. Important! And Michaela got an awesome red shirt. Then Toy Story in 3D! That was genius. That finished at about half twelve, and we went to a 24 hour Tesco cos strangely that’s what we felt like doing. But I got a black and white checked shirt and a red belt to go with it, photos to come cos I love it! Bargain too.
So Friday night was extremely wet and horrible outside so I figured I’d stay in all weekend and keep looking up flats etc. Probably sounds boring but it’s kinda all I’m interested in doing right now. I had the most vivid dream I’ve ever had about anyone on Friday night. So much that I couldn’t even drag myself out of bed until 11, and if you know me you’ll know I’m a morning person and I hate staying in bed that late. But that’s depressing. I’m not doing very well at sticking to those resolutions I guess.
Watching Gavin & Stacey, got a bit addicted to it recently! Loves Nessa 
Now I’m off for a hot chocolate, woohoo.
“This is no time to panic… Start panicking!”
October 1, 2009
What three words in the English language will make people panic the most? As of today, I can confirm these words are “don’t panic, but…”
Honestly. But putting the panic to the back of my mind, I have some kind of news. Though I’m not sure I can even concentrate on this post, I’m having a terrible craving for diet coke and I’m too tired/lazy to go buy some. Craving may be exaggerating a little but still… Anyway, back on topic! As I mentioned in my last post I’m officially flat hunting, and today I got out my little black book (which I got from my big sister Donna for my 21st by the way) and started calling up some of the ones I’ve found online. I ended up arranging a viewing for one on Wednesday night, in an area I don’t really know but it’s not far from where we were looking anyway. Like Michaela said, can’t hurt us to have a look. I’m getting more and more desperate to find a good flat. And as soon as I move out, Caragh gets to move into my room so we’ll all be happy.
I was right about not being able to focus without diet coke. Hmm. I’m off for a shower. Will remember to take my glasses off first this time…
