Much to do about nothing...


Hello again just a quick update whilst I wait for lunch to cook!

I have been sorting out house things so far this week. I have finished all paper work yes at last!!!

I have also sorted though my house spreadsheet, I've started to list everything we will need for each room and the get an estimate for this. Unfortunately we can't do it all at once. But at least now I can check more easily that we are on target and not overspending. A lot more user friendly. I am becoming the spreadsheet queen!

Packing is coming along just packing what I can when I mange to accumulate a few boxes. Although its a little exciting it's mainly very boring.

Today I have sorted out the water yay and I hoped to sort out the council tax, OH works for the army, his main residence is at camp, he even pays council tax for it! We should get a 50% discount on our council tax, but my council doesn't want to play ball! I have been busy getting some more information, spoke to the AFF (Army families federation) got a get piece of legislation which says we are entitled to it! Yay so have e-mailed this off so I'm sure a bit more work to do on this but I'm not giving up!
I know people might think oh lucky you but the amount of money OH spends driving back to from camp on weekends is insane so this will make a huge difference. I'd rather pay full tax and have OH home all the time. *Sigh

So yes today I'll try and sort this out if I can, I'm hoping to start looking at a few jobs now the hard work is done and there is little to do now till we move in next week.

The whole job thing is stressing me out, I wont start back at the college till end of Sep now, I feel so bad having nothing to do all day! Luckily I have had the chance to sort out all the house things so in some ways this has been the best time to have the time off!
I just need to make the effort to keep looking and actually applying!

I know what I'll do today too, try and sort out OH birthday present! I thought I saw an amazing deal to see Michael Macintyre for £35 each, all good started getting excited planning it all only to work out it was for next year lol! So I'm going to try and find something just as good.

I'll also try to complete a few surveys if i can.

Hope everyone is have a good day!
