We have moved!

Yay for me! We have ADSL back online here. Telstra finally got its shit together and a technician arrived today to tell Glen that they had plugged our phone into a faulty plug at the exchange. There's always something.

Today was my first day back at work after the move. I have to say, I wasn't too distressed about being back. I guess work isn't too taxing for me and it was nice to catch up with colleagues and friends. Being back at work means I get to earn money, so that we can now pay off our mortgage. It's possibly also got to do with the fact that I know in about ten days, I have another ten days off work! *laugh* Life sucks, right! How rude.

Anyway, since it's been a while since I updated, I really ought to fill in the gaps, right? I shall try without becoming boring or repetitive.

The move was pretty much textbook, though as always, there were hitches. Like setting the alarm for 7am, when I really meant to set it for 6am.

Not having enough time to then pack up the rest of the house, have a cup of tea and some breakfast and ease our way into the day.

Having the removalists arrive with one truck and then telling us that we had more than a truck load's worth.

After contacting the office, having the removalists then tell us that the office had fucked up! Apparently the office staff put an order in for two trucks, but then only completed a requisition order for one truck. Stupid, yes.

Said one truck was packed and unpacked twice and cost a fucken fortune.

Said disgruntled client (ME!) called the removalist company and abused tripe out of them.

Disgruntled client got a partial refund - not enough for me to use them again.

It's been a week since the move - there are about 10 boxes still unpacked in the garage.

We finished painting the loungeroom on Monday afternoon/evening.

It looks very nice!! Check out my flickr page.

Anyway, the point is, we're in the house now, it's becoming more and more like our home. We've spent far too much time at Bunnings, which is conveniently around the corner!! We're enjoying it and Glen has really taken to fixing things up around the place, having fixed the garage door and various other things :) It's quite satisfying.

An odd moment for me. We were concerned that the cats would be distressed about the move. So, I purchased some Feliway and also some stuff called Cat Calmative, or whatever. Anyway, in reaction to that, Tilly has been seriously happy, cuddly and sweet. It's been very weird. Anyway, we were reading the ingredients and it turns out that this stuff has 13% alcohol! Hrm, no wonder my precious girl is so cute and snuggly. Having said that, I am scared that if I stop putting it in their water, my lovely Tilly is going to go ballistic!

I wish I could write more, but I'm a bit brain dead and am going to log off and watch some brain-numbing TV.

Night all.
