I'm back!!

Well, we're settled in - still got a lot of sorting out to do yet though.

Not happy with Sky as when we couldn't be here when they were available to sort out the system they weren't able to do it until 17 Nov - so much for doing it when you want it done! Loada bollocks!!

Anyway, enough of that, the phone was sorted speedily enough, as was the internet. I've got an application in for a job - nowt special, just working for the sister company of Ginsters - Kensey foods. Hopefully I should hear from them soon.

As for my projects, the one mentioned in my last post has been put to one side pending my finding a suitable cable pattern for the neckline as I didn't like the one that was in the pattern. Also, I'm whipping up a wrap, (crocheted) for my mum in some lovely grey alpaca which I bought ages ago as it's her birthday tomorrow and I'd like to get it done in time for her birthday dinner on Thursday night.

Well, back to the grind...

Uhhhh...

...been on the Grand Union canal for the past week, working me arse off with the locks while Hubby steered the boat, (though he let me have a go every now and then)!

I managed to finally get a start on a pattern I'd ordered from Knit Picks ages ago and, though it's not true to the pattern - I did lose track of where I was more than once but so what - we'll call it a 'design element'. Still doesn't look bad at all!

Next week we will be moving to our next pad - we have to be out of here by Sunday. As per usual we are the procrastinators extrodinaire and, so, we have absolutely nothing sorted - no mail being redirected, no timings for hooking up the net or Sky, we haven't even gotten a look at the interior of this new place yet, won't until we start moving our stuff in.
Well, whatever - the landlord is a good bloke and seems to be very flexible about everything - hasn't asked for a deposit or references or anything. Cool!
