New House

We have finally unpacked the last box and got moved in. The new house is lovely with log burner in the living room and all the comforts of home :)

The garden has just been made bigger too, they had put the fence on the inside of the raised beds when it should have been on the outside of the raised beds - they have now moved it and this makes it look so much more spacious and the fence is now hidden more behind the beds - very nice.

Getting things done is much easier as well as the property is managed by Barlavington Estate and anything needs doing they get their handyman straight round to sort it - much better :)

Here is a pic of the house, in it’s idyllic setting

Horses, vehicles and stuff

Our poor horse is rather upset by us trying to put back shoes on him, so we are going to have to get the vet out to sedate him to have his final shoe put on. Hopefully once this is done his feet will get less sensitive and he will be better next time. We are also looking at practicing tapping his feet with a hammer every day while holding his leg as the farrier would to try and get him used to it.

We are also looking at getting my bike back on the road next month and selling the car. Provided we can get enough for the car we can then get Char through her driving test and then buy something small and cheap for her to drive, then she can go and do horsey stuff while I go out biking again - hurrah!

Also trying to cut down/give up smoking as well, have moved back to rollups to try and keep costs down, this should give us enough money to save some and do some of the things we have been unable to do for a while.

Recent stuff

Well, have bought a new car recently, although it’s not running great at the moment - an Audi A3 with some sort of fuel issue.

Have been working on logon messages using Group Policy at work and getting that working. Also adding additional text to the logon box in Windows XP.

Have also been working hard in WoW to get my Warrior kitted out in all the right stuff! Nearly there, just need two rep enchants and a couple of replacement items.

Busy Weekend

Off to see Fields of the Nephilim on Saturday AND Sunday, we have got V.I.P tickets which mean there is a VERY slim chance we might even get to meet Carl McCoy and the rest of the guys. We also get V.I.P viewing area and invited to the aftershow party on the Sunday. This means a pretty late night before Monday monring when I am rolling out Office 2007 to the Senior Management Team at work! JOY!

Also, my Nephew is coming with me on Monday to work for his Work Experience Week so I kind of have to be there. This means I am going to be pretty knackered come Monday evening, then I am off over to Cat Sit for my Aunt.

So all in all a pretty packed weekend!
