Busy, busy...

So much happening at the moment, forgot to update here.
I'll give a nice little overview :P

March 13th I moved into my new flat, don't have any pics at the moment but it's really nice. It's a one bedroom flat, nice living room, kitchen and bathroom (bath yay!!) Oh and a balcony! I'm really loving it, eventho it's not in the greatest neighbourhood. (have to do groceries with the bus -.-')
The same day Lewis came over which was really nice, hadn't seen him him in a while. Ofcourse he came over AFTER I moved all my stuff & boxes into the flat :P

Next week I started work at IBM for Xerox tech department. Since I worked at Imabari on my own for a year I was kinda nervous about having collegues again, but it turned out all good. Nice Dutch team, very social and I felt quite welcome.
Had a lot of training on how to troubleshoot for Xerox and it's actually quite fun. Just the amount of things... was SO tired everytime i got home :P

Lewis came over the next weekend again and I tried Haggis! It wasn't all that bad to be honest. Think I was just thinking to much about WHAT i was eating, wouldve enjoyed it more without my mind wandering off what part of the sheep I was chewing on NOW :P

This week has been the same really, more training, more tired :P Went to Dundee friday to visit Lewis and we're going to watch the match tonight, Holland - Scotland *grin*

Flat hunting!

Today I had an appointment to view a flat at 11am in Paisley. We entered the appartment, being on the 3rd floor.. and I nearly cried. It was half of my old flat and this was a studio >< Could barely move in it. Went to 3 other agency's in Paisley but all the flats were quite expensive and small.
From Paisley to my work it's about 30 mins by train and it would be 70 pounds a month. Figured I should look at places in Greenock because it was the same price range.

First 3 letting agents were shit >< nothing in my price range. Last one I went had 2 flats, we could view both immediately.
First one was small and smelled bad lol, but way better than anything I had seen before. The second one blew my mind :P It was really nice, lots of new furniture etc.

Decided that I will be taking that appartment, eventho the rent is a bit higher than I like ><
Got a nice linkie! Link!!!

Will be moving in friday or saturday.
Me has a happy!

Journey

My mum and me left to Newcastle with the boat from ijmuiden on monday at 6pm Dutch time. Arrived in Newcastle at 9am. Road change was difficult at first, going a lot better now, but damn, changing sides is hard, remember you where thought before crossing a road. First look to your left, then to the right and left again and cross the street. damn, hard changing that after 23 years :P

After we got off the boat we went to a little shopping mall thingy with parking spaces to redo all the boxes etc I took with me. Closed the door and drove away. We heard a big BOOM and we looked back, door open, few bags all over the street. Oh yes xD

Ofcourse we took some wrong turns here and there and we freaked out cus we forgot on which side of the road we had to be etc etc. But we got there!

I'm in Largs now.. The owner of the B&B told me to find a place here because it is so beautiful, and it is, it really is.. but erm.. kinda dead aswell :P being used to Amsterdam... no :P

Have to go from PC... more updates soon!
