Books Read in 2007
This is a list of all the books I read in 2007 (for reviews see my Blogger page or LibrarThing where I use the name Rhinoa as well). I set out aiming to read 50 which I upped to 75 and then ended up reading 101 in total. I hope to aim for 100 again next year. My overall favourite was Lolita, but I really enjoyed most of them for different reasons ( Read more... ) -
Back from Egypt
It's been a crazy month. First we moved house and then we went away for 11 days to Egypt. We got back on Monday at 2am when Alex started his new job and I went straight back to work. It wasn't exactly a relaxing holiday although it was great. We had our first group-tour experience and both enjoyed it despite having hardly any free time or privacy. ( Read more... ) -
Teeth and Targets
Today I woke up and one side of my face is really sore. One of my wisdom teeth has broken through my gum and split it in two and my glands on that side of my face are up as well. I have just developed a cold too so feeling pretty sorry for myself today. My teeth can't seem to make their mind up and I really want to have my remaining three taken out ( Read more... ) -
Council
I fucking hate the council around here. We moved house into a controlled parking zone area so I applied for a permit last week. It hasn't arrived yet (knowing my luck it will get here today) so last night after loading up with shopping I left the car outside our place and decided to get up early and move it. It was on a single yellow line which is ( Read more... ) -
Moved House
We moved into our new flat last Monday (we were first time buyers so now owe stupid amounts of money) after a last minute packing frenzy. I started packing a week early so not sure how so much ended up being last minute as I have about 30-40 boxes packed... The move itself went fine and the new place is lovely. I took a week off work and spent most ( Read more... ) -
Ginger!
I got bored of being blond and am now ginger! I love it, it looks so much better and richer and is all shiny and glossy. I am naturally blond but started dying my hair black back when I was 17 after experimenting with purple for a while. I went back to blond at Christmas last year and just in time for my birthday on Tuesday I have gone for a change ( Read more... ) -
Finally...
Well after a horrible week and a weekend of worrying we finally exchanged contracts on our flat today. We managed to get indemnity policies from the vendor for the lease issues and we had to pay for an indemnity policy today as they were worried about us doing 100% mortgage and not paying a deposit. Completion date scheduled for September 17th and ( Read more... ) -
Climbing
I spent today with a friend, his cousin and girlfriend at an indoor climbing centre in North London. It was so much fun! I climbed a massive wall all the way to the top as well as having a go at a few others. I tried one where you climb in a cavern and go across the wall upside down. I was able to get across the ceiling, but couldn't quite get down ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm so frustrated right now I could cry. We had so many problems trying to buy a flat we backed out in the end and found another one that we liked even better anyway. We were hoping to exchange contracts on Friday and complete September 17th and finally move in to our new place. There has been a complication with the lease that means a Deed of ( Read more... )
