After seeing I think the 20th place, we have finally come to a decision on places to live. Hurrah! No more endlessly looking for places, touring around places…… It gets kinda dull after a while. One of our things we were looking for was lots of storage, and a nice big kitchen for me to […]
Progress! We have our Social Security Numbers now, so I can get all my paperwork submitted! Wooo! The end to my unemployment may be in sight! When I say in sight, of course I mean in about 3 months time when it all goes through, but still….. Progress! We also have been busy checking out […]

It’s really getting close to moving day now, I have emptied my jars of stuff into bags and cleaned all my kitchen jars: Haha! Good luck with those moving minions! I have also been using up some more of the ingredients from the kitchen, in this case a tin of condensed milk and a load […]
It has been a hella busy week! I spent most of this week at home, catching up with friends, and taking a little trip to Redcar beach for the wonder that is a Lemon Top! Seriously, these things are really good! But, alas I couldn’t stay up there forever, and had to get back to […]
