I won’t post a link to it here because it’s 11MB, but if anyone I forgot wants to see the little videoclip of the new house, let me know! Weeeeeeeee, this is so exciting! 🙂
If all goes smoothly, we should be able to move in right after our visit to Canada in late May/early June. I think we’re going to die of excitement before then! Either that or die of exhaustion getting stuff out of our loft to clear out!
Another random day created by bloggers I thought I’d highlight!
Unmask yourself, dear readers!
Note: I feel a bit bad, I downloaded this image for the event, planning on giving the creator credit for it but now I can’t track where I got it from! If it’s yours, let me know and I’ll give you all due credit!

Salmon & Prawns brochettes and Veggie Kebabs for the BBQ. MmmMmmMmm
This week has been insanely hectic. To give you an idea, here’s the play-by-play:
Sunday: Invite the in-laws over for Sunday roast with Andrew hoping to amaze them with our cooking skills. We all get slightly distracted by some estate agent’s website and nearly burn dinner (it was the best pork roast we’ve ever made still!). After dinner, we end up making an appointment with the estate agent to go view three houses on Tuesday night.
Tuesday: Visit the three houses, fall in love with one of them. Drive back discussing what we think we should do, whether we should spend weeks, if not months, house hunting like most people seem to do or jump in head first and put an offer in.
Wednesday: Get the guts to put first offer in. Of course, gets rejected, first offers always do.
Thursday: Bit of bargaining after putting in a second offer. Ends up being accepted after a long day of adrenaline-rush anxious waiting. Excitement beyond belief, resulting in very little work done in the afternoon.
So here I am, in disbelief that there is a very good possibility that we’ll be having BBQs in our own garden this summer!
Phew, off to bed!
Thought I’d make a list of the Canadians I’ve noticed recently in the blogosphere and have started reading. We all know assiduous blogging takes time and dedication, but I thought I’d give even the brand new blogs a chance.
So this evening will be a new first in our lives, we’re going house hunting towards Cambridge. There are a few lovely little end of terraces that have caught our interest so we’ll go take a peek and see whether they’re what we’re looking for.
Kirstie & Phil’s “How To Buy A House” guide will come in very handy over the next little while, I think! I’ll try and read the whole thing before we jump in. I should’ve brought it in to work as lunchtime reading…
Oh I’ve got so much to say, but so much work to get done first!!
Japanese girls are willing to go to such an extent to look like white girls, but this has to be the most amusing “homemade eyelift” video I’ve ever seen. I’m praying they’re using special glue and not Elmer white glue that you get in school!
Imagine the discomfort!
Found through Laurie.
So far in March, these are some of the amusing searches that have landed people on my website:
* “turkey twizzlers” (because of the show Jamie’s School Dinners of course)
* “picture of testicle in egg cup” Some people are twisted…
* Many variations using the words, “nipple”, “Javine” and “Eurovision”
* “give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach” I’m offended! I’m not ready to give up yet!!
* “email contacts of bread in canada 2005” Wow I knew email was popular, but even bread has email now?
* “what are snowflakes?” Wow how thick are YOU?!
* “the door is alarmed. how do you think i feel?” What? You think I care??
* One of the repeated entries that I get every month and makes me laugh to tears “Anastacia is a man” Good to see I’m not the only one suspecting this!!!
I’ve got some more good ones, but that’ll do for now 🙂
Today feels like the most amazing day. I’ve taken it as holiday so I could relax at home a bit and do some much needed clearing up.
My song of the day is the Super Preachers’ I Feel Happy. Yes, it’s the one used in the Ambrosia Custard “Happy Tummies” advert. It just makes me smile. You can download it for free from the Super Preachers’ website if you’re interested.
