New home, job & life
January 8, 2008 || Filed under family, general, starting fresh ||
So this new town I’m moving to - it’s 60 miles from where I am now. I visited today and put a deposit on a gorgeous victorian three bedroom house. It has three floors and the landlady has a gorgeous black labrador called Bruno. Adorable! She’s a lovely lady, so friendly and easy going. I’m looking forward to living there - much cosier than all the house shares I’ve been in put together.
I sent an online application form in to a club there aswell, a few days ago. They called and asked me to pop in when I was visiting the area, so as I went today to view the house I thought I’d go for the interview. They gave me the job on the spot - I start on the 1st Feb - brilliant! It’s only two nights a week, Friday and Saturday. But it’s a start and extra money on a weekend as I’ll not have much else to do. I’m still looking for a full time day job, but I’m sure there will be something soon 
It would be much more helpful if I had a car still. But walking isn’t so bad, I should stop being so lazy! 
As for the extra cash I’ll have from not paying petrol/insurance etc, I’ll be able to save for something much nicer. Preferably a punto active. They are gorgeous - only £2000 on the auto trader. I say only - but it’s cheap for how new they are! 
Aw well - money is such a hassle. I’m off to bed now, it’s only 7pm but I’m so pooped from the past few days. I’ve been very busy and had very little sleep, only about 5 hours in total over three days. Too much stress about how today would go.
Oh and before I go - almost forgot. My dad’s girlfriend has had her baby! Isabelle Rose, they called her. 7 pounds 1 Shame I’ll never get to see her, eh. Shame my dad is such an asshole when it comes to making an effort with his family. Just one more kid to be left without a true father by the time they’re 5 years old. Oh dear oh dear…

Congrats on the house and the job. It sounds like the move might be a positive change.
Isabelle Rose is an adorable name. Hopefully your dad will be a little better this time around… but, I know a few people like that… and it sucks that the chances are slim.

The house sounds great, and congrats again on the job!
But it’s a real shame that you won’t be able to see her though…

Ugh Ive been so lazy when it comes to site stuff and commenting. The temp layout is uber cute though loove the butterflies/flowers.
Youre right about saving money as far as the car goes. As long as you dont mind the walking, thats alot of extra cash in your pocket. I definitely couldnt get by without my car though..things here are just way too spread out.
Anywho, congrats and goodluck!

That house sounds nice!
Great that you got a job on the spot. Whenever I’ve sent in online applications I’ve never heard anything back. >_<
Sorry about your dad. So many men don’t make the best fathers.
