Done what I hear you ask? Has he gone and got married? LOL, hell no. Have I gone and crashed my car... nope. Thank God. Isn't it funny when someone says "I went and done it", you sort of automatically think that it's going to be something bad, or something that they know they shouldn't have. Anyway, that's not the case here. Last weekend I went house hunting. Now, a while ago I said this was going to the next thing on my agenda, I mean, after the redundancy's I needed to sort out in my head what my next step was, and it was definately getting the hell out of Caroline's and getting a place of my own. I'm literally spending every evening round a friends place cos I'm simply that bored at my own. When I had a housemate I was speaking to it was pretty cool, but she decided to have a
"moment", and well, that's just something that I could talk and talk about but won't. She is, to put it simply, not worth the effort. So, you can see where this is going. After much deliberation of where I wanted to look for a house, I decided upon the lovely down of
Basingstoke. A good friend of mine from work lives there and it offers things which you just need from a town you're living in. Shopping Centre, cinemas, etc etc (In case you didn't know Fleet has none of these!). So anyway, I checked out
RightMove and sorted out a few viewings. The rest as they say is history. I saw a place I really liked, and the offer was accepted on the Tuesday. So, I've bought a house! How freaking grown up is that of me? It's a small(ish) 2 bed semi detached property in a cul-de-sac in south Basingstoke. About 14-16 miles from Fleet. It's got pretty much everything I was looking for in a house, and the only thing that let it down was the fact that it's not double glazed, oh and the interior decor is not to my taste, which I'll be sorting out myself when I move in. So, something to look forward to. At the moment, when I'm going to be moving in is a question that I don't know the answer to. The sale could fall through, anything could happen. So fingers crossed and I'm hoping by February I'll be sorting out movers and furniture!
Okay, so what else? Well, I'm back in Leicester on a last minute whim. I wasn't supposed to be coming back this weekend, but a few friends are getting together, going out for dinner, and I didn't have much planned down south so I thought I might as well come up and chill out. I saw my sister's new car. Well, when I say new, its 1997 Mazda 323F. And it's not half bad. It looks really nice and I'm gonna try and get some pictures on to FlickR. Speaking of cars, I may even have to think twice about my car if I end up doing 30+ miles a day when I move to Basingstoke. The fact is, if I got a 1.6 (at the moment my Audi is a 1.8 Turbo), I'd be saving I'm guessing about £400 a year on fuel alone. Now I love driving as much as the next guy, but when it comes to pissing £400 away out the back of your exhaust, something has to give.
Next week, well, that short break away which I was talking about it happening. Thursday through to Saturday. Where am I going? haha, you'll find out when I come back with the pictures. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting to upload that test that HR lady did at that interview, have to remember to do that as soon as I get back to Fleet. It's well worth reading. Speaking of well worth reading, the hits for my blog have dropped this month. I knew they couldn't keep growing like they are, and this is only the 2nd post this month so maybe that's it. But they've diminished to about just over half of last months. Weird.
Anyway, New Years is literally around the corner and 1st year for this blog. It's flown past, and a hell of a lot has happened. Who knows whats going to be in store for me next year? Answers on a postcard!
That's it from me, check out some new pictures I've uploaded including some from my cousins wedding this summer just gone (yes the ones I promised like 3 months ago!) and I will hopefully post again very soon.
