moving.... again

So much has happened! Let me start from the soonest and work our way forward (yes nothing has really happened yet - it is happening)

Well we have spent the last few weeks living off my sister and Potato head but the time has come for us to find our own feet. We are moving. Yes Again. I know we only just moved. Yes most of it is still packed. No I am not planning on doing it any time soon. STOP GIVING ME THAT LOOK!

sorry.

So yes we are moving. I get to pick up the keys to our new little abode today. (Half day of work WHOOOOO) We are moving to a beautiful little (rental) town house. It is two levels - the bottom level has a small L-shaped court yard (YES WITH GRASS!! yes I plan on using gray water. Yes I know we are in a drought. YES I KNOW AND I AM STILL EXCITED LEAVE ME ALONE!) a large lounge with an open kitchen (with dishwasher! And some cockroaches thrown in) a small sun room/dining room and small laundry. Then upstairs is all polished floors with a renovated bathroom, new modern paint with feature walls and a HUGE bedroom. Ohh yeh and the winner - A FULL WALL OF MIRRORED CLOSET! Yes! FULL WALL! MIRRORED! WITH SHOE HOLDERS!




Ok sorry just fainted for a bit.

This will be the first time in.... 2 years (other then that brief terrifying stint back with my parents) that I have had closet space - that my clothes have had somewhere other then a box or a chair to live. I am in heaven! And yes it does cover up the pain of $260/per week rent.

So my lovely new little town house is in perfect walking distance from my bus I need to catch to get to my new job. Yes you heard right - NEW JOB!

I quit my job at The Finance Hell last week and will be finishing up on the 17th and starting my new job on the 21st. It is another finance company but is a satellite office of the big international branch. I will be working with 3 gentlemen who all seem very friendly and my desk over looks the ocean - that’s right the office is across the street from the beach!!! Trust me to get a job on the beach just in time for winter! Ohh but the winner in this one - $4,000 extra pay NOT including the 4, yes FOUR, bonus' a year! YAY! The job will also be a lot more responsibility - I will be running the office, being the only admin worker there and playing PA to the two owners and running reception. I am very scared but I know my beautiful Kimmy Chick from The Finance Hell has taught me well and I am fairly certain this is something I will Rock at :D

On that note I should be doing my work – lots to finish up in my 4.5 days I have left ;)
