Today is a very special day: today my brand new flat got internet. Since I last wrote SYITC a lot has changed - I'm now in my twenties, I own my own flat and Kieran and I have started planning next summer's party in the USA. My teenage years were put to rest with a night out that I remember little of. Note to self - never go out the night before your birthday again! And my new flat, which I love. Je t'aime!
When I compare here to where I lived last year I can't believe I survived. No bugs spotted, everything's clean and my shower (which is like standing under a waterfall) never has a problem giving me hot water. There's still so much to do, and has been a lot to do - but so far I've painted the bathroom, my room, my spare room and the hall (which is a lovely sunlight yellow). And flatpack.....so much flatpack! By the time everything's finished I'll have enough allen keys to open up my own DIY shop.
Still to do: build the beds, build my chest of drawers, build a desk, wallpaper the living room, gloss the wood...easier typed than done.
It has been nice living in my own little world for a while after the stress of the last flat but David moves in on the 1st of September, and I'm getting quite excited about it. Glee nights, Lady G, going to Ikea even though we don't need to. And Kieran can come stay here whenever without it being awkward. Which is good, because it's going to be travel-plan HQ.
Once my kingsize bed has been screwed together I may never leave the flat again!
