10 days to go...

SO excited to be moving into my very own home on the 16th...I made my first furniture purchase last night, buying a wardrobe from somebody which I found on "gumtree" - quite a handy website with lots of stuff being sold, bought, swapped and sometimes even given away!

I've no flatmates and no furniture as yet (except a 3-door wardrobe) but hopefully next week I'll find a bit of time to do some searching! Made an IKEA trip last Sunday, got lost inside the place it was so big...I'm sure I won't have too many problems getting most of what I need there. Plenty of cheap rubbish for the first month of flat-warming parties, then maybe some half-decent stuff after that :)

Long days....

Sometimes it's a bad day at the office...(if only I actually had an office)

Every day last week I was at CTC from before 7am till after 9pm at night. It's funny though, because as long as I get in a spin class, a gym trip, a run or a really good tennis hit for a couple of hours exercise, I don't mind the long days that much...up to a point. But when it's 6:45am-9:15pm and I don't even step outside the building in that time it gets pretty frustrating. Add that to the fact we were promised the Tennis Dome would be complete by last Friday, and despite it being physically ready, we are unable to use the courts due to a b***dy buildings licence not being signed. With 30 kids on a "high quality & consistent" programme that has cost parents a fair amount of money, using half-courts and small, inappropriate indoor areas for fitness is slightly embarrassing.

The worst thing of all is I can't do anything about it. Except wait. And get annoyed. I don't usually express my feelings that much...but you know what?? I'm really hacked off :)
