home sweet home
we have now moved in to our house. its bloody cold!!! houses here arent insulated or heated. so we have invested in some oil filled radiators for the bedrooms and an electric 3 bar radiator/fire thingy for the livingroom. it all looks rather bare and impersonal at the moment but am sure once the crate arrives in september it will be more like home. everything here is spread out and am beginning to stress about commuting to work. ari was hop skip and jump from our flat in aberdeen so it will all be a new experience. am hoping that michael starts work after me and can take me in getting home wont be such a problem. when on a late shift i can leave home early and michael will be around to pick me up at 9.30pm. the plan for tomorrow is to explore the route to work from two directions and then see what the public transport system is like. my provisional is not transferrable from the uk so i have to apply for a learners permit and sit a theory test to drive a scooter. same for mikey!!! i am going to need to learn to drive!!!! i cant get over how friendly people are here. in shops they go out of their way to help even if you are just looking. some shops even give you money off for paying cash!!! and you dont have to pay everything up front as long as its paid in full before its delivery date! its a bit like the 1970's in the uk before everyone got up their own arses!!! nothing is done in a hurry which in one way is refreshing after the rat race but is infuriating cos your used to getting things immediately!! think we are going to like it here.

the first thing i did was put the picture you gave us on the wall. there are loads of picture hooks in the rooms which is just as well cos we are not allowed to put anything else up. the joys of a rented house!!!! got a tv but michael cant work out how to wire it up, if i have to watch another bloody dvd.........!!!!!!
ho ho ho kenny!!! no it was the davinci code!!! cheeky bugger!! what do you think of our new lcd tv?
hey soozy god day shift how will you cope???????? glad to hear that the cat is all nice and clean. i never tried to bath him just showered him, maybe thats what he didnt like!!!!! the house is nice and toasty warm now, we bought a few oil filled radiators to take the chill off. not sure if they will let me on the road have to sit the learners permit test first! so maybe not then!! will have to do something cos public transport is a nightmare for an early shift!!!! will have to leave the house around 5.30am for a 7am start!!!! and the drive on the same side of the road here.
