Upsy-Daisy

Sort of uppy-downy day today, I got up very early after having trouble getting to sleep last night (or I should say, this morning) dressed and out of the door by 6:30am, stopped by the wide to get cash out and then hit the road. I didn't see any serious traffic until I got to Notts, I wanted to time the trip to Granby from town, it works out about 20 minutes, and there were some delays, although I have no idea what rush hour will be like.
I got to the house after stopping at a branch to get out more cash (flippin' spitting brick cash limits) and then proceeded to wander around it looking for the door until K came and saved me. We had a cuppa and a chat, then she gave me the tour, we discussed furniture and the arrangements, looked around the rest of the house and then I brought in the stuff I'd taken with me, to get a start on the moving, a couple of bags of clothes and a table to use as a bedside table.
K seems to like "arty" touches, vases full of gold spirally things, fancy pebble arrangements and the like. It's not really my thing (neither is it my house) but I hope I won't disarrange anything too much and annoy her. I may have to do a bit of shuftying in my room otherwise I'll be afraid to move for fear of knocking something over or breaking something.
Anyways, the house is nice, the room is lovely and light, there's a nice little seaty area for reading or whatever-ing and although she's a bit nervous about me moving in while she's away, it can't be helped really and I've promised that dad and I will be ever so careful, and we will, we're pretty expert movers.
So, then I left and drove back to town to meet the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
swish103 for lunch. We had a pleasant lunch and a good chat, I'm very much looking forward to being closer to people and being able to meet up more often and do the 'getting-to-know-you' thing a bit more properly, it's helping me not feel so daunted by the prospect of moving away.
After lunch I headed to Beths to collect the birthday card I accidentally left there yester, and then came home. I got home and was just completely shattered. I'd been so het up about today, nervous about things going well, whether it would work out, and the driving, that I had my teeth clenched a lot of the day (and all of the driving) so consequently my head is pounding and when I got home I just let everything go and felt totally banjaxed which I hate.
Quick reviving cup of tea, straightened my hair and did my budget (payday today) at which point I discovered that I will have about £15 to my name until I get paid at Speedo (*eek*) and from that I have to feed myself, keep my car in petrol and entertain me for a month! My brain exploded around this point so I gave up and we went off to a birthday dinner for Doreen who turns 69 in 2 days. The dinner was lovely, I have a new recipe to try and the company as always is excellent.
I started to unwind while we visited and by the time we left I was relaxed and yawny, but coming home meant I had to get on, re-wired my bedroom, played musical plugs with the appliances I'm taking with me, and packed up the contents of my bureau ready for tomorrow. I just have to sort out my bathroom stuff and the drawers by my bed and figure out how to get it all in dads car. I reckon we'll only need one car, put the seats down and squish stuff in, nothing particularly breakable or delicate :o)
Still a bit stressed whenever I think about eating super noodles and 9p tins of beans for a month, but it'll work out, it always does. Now, I'm finished making the pretend Grand Prix tickets to go in Dads birthday card and I'm going to bed with a book until I can get to sleep. Busy and long day ahead of me tomorrow, after a day of moving and driving, it's my leaving do, so "The Wide" will be descending en mass on "The Spot" at 8pm and I plan to get ver ver drunk.
Night xx
