Hmm, it looks like I am not a blogger. I use it like I use a diary; in bursts of organisation, tailing off into apathy. First off, ebuyer suck. They have been good in the past, but this last couple of weeks I have become more and more annoyed with them. I ordered a hard… Read More »
Hannah is in hospital with suspected appendicitis. There are two things that bother me about this. Firstly, obviously I am worried about her. It would be naive not to be. It is a routine operation if she needs it to be removed. She is having a laparoscopy in the morning which should tell them if… Read More »
Whoa, I haven’t blogged in ages, and a lot has been going on. First up, I’m married! After so long in the making, the wedding day finally arrived and went (almost) without hitch. Once we were all at the church it was all perfect. Hannah looked stunning and the kilts went down well. You can… Read More »
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious.

Well, we’ve exchanged. Now we’re excitedly waiting for completion tomorrow. We’ve been sorting out stuff in the flat and all being well will be doing lots of decorating and stuff over the weekend. I’ve got tomorrow, monday and wednesday off and I’m booked on a couple of days at the ACCU conference in Oxford. whoop!
Things are slowly grinding towards completion. After a number of holdups, we’re just waiting for confirmation that Persimmon will still pay our rent based upon completion on the 15th. Lots of stress on at the moment with wedding preparation, house stuff, Hannah’s exams and trying to find her a job. Just got to keep it… Read More »
Spent all day saturday laying laminate flooring for Hannah’s parents. It’s looking pretty good, which is relieving as I was a bit apprehensive about stuffing it up. Once Hannah and I got going we had a good system going and got on pretty well. It was SPÅN from Ikea and looks pretty nice although it… Read More »
There are some house pictures of the house “here.”:/house.html They’re pretty bad quality, but give some idea of what it’s like inside. We’re a bit concerned at the moment that the top of the chain wants to complete on the 4th April. They’re moving to a new build and the builder is applying pressure. That’s… Read More »
I really dislike being pressured into decisions. We started using an “independent” mortgage advisor when we first thought about buying a house. The way this worked was that we agreed a particular fee on completion of purchasing a house through him. At first it seemed like the right decision because we’ve never bought a house… Read More »
I have, it must be said, been extremely slack with this blog lately. It’s not exactly that I’ve been doing nothing, just that I can’t find the enthusiasm to blog it. Things change. As readers of Hannah’s blog will know, we’ve made some progress on getting our first house. Things have moved very fast so… Read More »
