Time for an annual update I think.
It's been a nice week off for Christmas. The usual standard fare - wrapping everything at 9pm on Christmas Eve, unwrapping lots of chocolate the next morning, grandparents' for eight tons of food and another roast on Boxing Day. Seeing my grandparents is always a bit weird because, by the way they ask so many questions, you could be forgiven for ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I feel happy after an Ikea trip. There's just so much random shite, but, somehow, it's all absolutely necessary in my life. Of course I need new random candle holders and miniature cushions, damn it ( Read more... ) -
Motoring attempt number two.
I've taken the second half of this week off so that I could go home and look for another car. I came up on the coach on Tuesday evening - as ever wishing that I'd paid just a bit more for the train and its extra few inches of legroom ( Read more... ) -
Things.
This, I think, is my first update since Laura and I moved into our new house in Wollaton, otherwise known as Casa de May-Davies... or some variation on that. Most of the stuff has found its place though, although the dining room still has some of my boxes in it as I've been too tired/lazy when I come home from work to sort them out. It's all taking ( Read more... ) -
Good news and bad news
Well the trip to Glasgow was a nice one. Josh and I packed up my car and we made he journey through the Dales, the Lake District and up the motorway in good time.
Over the next three days we had a good look around the city centre, which is really quite big. We tried out some amazing cafes and the shops. It's a much nicer place than I was expecting ( Read more... ) -

I have only just about recovered enough from Thursday to lift my arms for long enough to type an update ( Read more... ) -
Impatience!
I want my new house ( Read more... ) -
All Change
Well there's a few headlines. I'm sure sure which comes first between "I (nearly) have a new house" and "I have a new car".
The house came first. on Thursday Laura and I went to look at this three-bed detached house in Wollaton, which is a pretty nice suburb of Nottingham. Having been told by the letting agent that the current tenants had trashed ( Read more... ) -
Cocoa's Holiday
Cocoa has gone back to his daddy now. David came around in his big BMW, and Cocoa went absolutely mental when I opened the door. I think he must have thought he'd gone for good or something. It's the first time he's been away for this long.
All in all, though, he's been very well-behaved for a 19-month-old very large chocolate Labrador. The only ( Read more... ) -
I should be going to bed, but let's have an overdue update.
I've spent most of the day once again looking through Auto Trader and wondering why I was thick enough to get a flat with no parking space. I could just get a car now (nearly) if I'd been a bit cleverer. After closer inspection of insurance quotes, I think a VW golf is off the menu as the insurance is more than I thought it was. So now I think I'll ( Read more... )
