Packing is not fun

It is offical packing is long and very very boring..

So far we have packed up our living room, bedroom ( I say bedroom but you can not see it as a bedroom because of all the binbags full of clothes), bathroom and kicthen.  We started on the boytoy's studio about 4 hours ago and now I am bored as boytoy wants to put his DVDs into the box in alphabetical orderso I have disappeared into the "bedroom" to play on the computer..

Internet is going to take 3/4 weeks, seriously wtf! Thought we were living in a technology age.... sigh!!!

8.30am the packers come...

11 hours to go...

Moving...

Moving date is now the 27th of June!

We are both really excited, but have a lot of packing to do!

But the upsetting thing is I won't have the internet for a month!!!!!

So I won't be around while I move into our new house... but hopefully I'll be back sooner than that date with pictures!!

Trying to save the precious pennies

So with the house move coming up, and with me having to cut back on hours due to uni and boytoy still training for his new job, we are very short of cash every month and it's becoming a problem.

For the next four months, I am on the hunt for a second job to help out with the bills.

Here is some ideas I have had for cutting our bills down:

Sell the second car, then we won't have MOT or insurance for it

Find cheaper car insurance for the main car

Get rid of the house phone and only use the line for boardband because we both have mobiles and get unlimited calls for people on the same network as us, and since I have managed to get most my friends on the network it's become cheaper

No more impluse shopping!!!! Always write a list

Buy food online and buy the frozen food from Iceland

Use the 24 hour rule

Sort out the cupboards and sell anything we don't need

Buy housing products in bulk

Put all the extra pennies from my purse in our penny jar and any extra money on the online account into the savings account

Any other ideas?????

Wireless

After months and months of nagging the boytoy, we went down to the computer shop and fixed his DVD writer, this meant he could use the new wireless modem to connect to the internet and I could use the wireless adapter, well good news it all works and now we can both on the computer at the same time =)

I am sooooo pleased, no more unplugging and replugging in telephone adapters, thank god!!

SQUEEL YAYAYAYAYYAY!! (I am soo excited by this, I must be a computer geek =P)

Off to see Sex and the City the movie tonight with my muther

Carrie: But I rationalized that my new shoes shouldn't be punished just because I can't budget.

After watching the Sex and the City movie premiere on channel 4, and thier question was how many shoes do you own? I worked out that I own a total of 38 pairs of shoes including my 10 pairs of boots =) According to the boytoy we should have to buy more to round the figure off to 50! God he is my soul mate, shoes shoes shoes!!

 

 

And my favourite pair of shoes

Well anywho it is my brother's 18th birthday today and I am going round to have dinner then out drinking with him and his mates, I went out Saturday but ended up hoem at 11pm and threw up, sexy huh? But it was a super night!!!

Wrist, girly parts, wanna take a leg too?

So I went to the hosiptal today and it turns out that accident at work a couple of weeks ago might of broken my thumb, seriously wtf!

First girly parts now my wrist, might as well just keep cutting bits out of me :(

Still don't know the date of my laparoscopy surgery, they are looking to confirm my endomitosis.. blah! I better get pregnant after all this worrying in a couple of years time..

House sale is going well, they have done all the searches, just writing to confirm all these questions, who knew so much paper work was invovled, and boytoy doesn't like doing it so I am chasing everyone around...

I realise yesterday after making cottage pie how much my life has changed, I am now interested in wallpaper patterns and whether or not we should have these china teacups added to our wedding registery, this time last year it was clothes, shoes and parties.. I feel old at 22!

I need to go out more, bring on the summer and the return (from uni) of my favourite drinking parnter!  I am glad I am out this Sat with the work lot =)
