Life Updates

Hi!

It's been a while. No fault but my own on that one - soz.

I feel like a lot has happened in the past couple of months...here's a rundown of what I've been up to:

• I moved out of the house Andrew and I were sharing together.
• I moved halfway across the country into a flat (with Andrew).
• The move was not very well planned out, and took a lot of time over several weekends to get everything moved across.
• I successfully hired, drove, and crashed a transit van.
• Lots of reading - so many reviews to write up and post!
• Work got very busy very quickly - peak trading season is upon us.
• I joined a gym
• Found and joined a new Slimming World group
• Went to Ireland
• Made several Ikea trips to kit out our flat
• My car failed her MOT and is for sale...Click here if you'd like to adopt a wonderful little runner... 

  

  I love my little Tallulah! Sad to let her go.

• Found & bought a new car
• Named new car. 'Hogan' in case you were wondering.
• Had a spa day
• had a couple of haircuts - discovered a hairdresser who is really enthusiastic about cutting curly hair, epic win for me!
• Did, and am still doing, a hell of a lotta unpacking

Thought I might have a small pitiful list but actually it turned out to be quite long! Go me. Busy bee.

You can expect some more regular posts from me now that I've settled into our flat, there's not too much more unpacking to do! Let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything above, happy to throw in a random life post!

Anywho...I promised to get a box unpacked tonight...SEEYA.

23 Things About Moving Out

Andrew and I moved out on the 31st January, it's been 10 days and things are going well. Sooo with me being me, I made a list of things I've learnt so far about about moving out...

Also, I may be jumping on the blog list bandwagon a little bit. Oops.

Here we go...

1. Moving out is exciting.
2. You realise how much stuff you actually own.
3. Packing is hard work.
4. It makes you think about all the clothes you never wear.
5. You start to think about how you're going to survive after moving away from where you have lived all your life. 
6. Seriously. So. Much. Stuff.
7. Where do boxes even come from? And why are they so expensive??
8. Moving in is messy.
9. It takes forever to unpack.
10. It's awesome to finally move out with your long term partner
11. Living with one other person, who works odd shifts means you are in the house all alone sometimes...which isn't always that fun.
12. Housework is harder than it looks
13. It takes a long time to heat up a house
14. ALL the stuff.
15. Unpacking takes forever. I haven't even moved all of my stuff here yet and I have still been unable to unpack a small portion of my things.
16. Moving out is expensive.
17. There are always a million things to do around the house, and millions of lists to go with them
18. Living with people at uni is not like living with your boyfriend full time.
19. It's really nice to come home to your boyfriend and spend some time hanging out.
20. Finding homes for all your things is both laborious and a little bit fun.
21. Moving a sofa through a small door, and around into another small door is quite difficult.
22. Compromise. Get used to doing it fast.
23. Running a household is a very 'adult' thing, but when it comes down to it, you still feel like a kid playing house from time to time.

Voila, a list for you to feast your eyes upon!
