On spring-cleaning my life...

Well, it seems like Spring has really arrived at last! What great weather we've been having. Had quite a family-orientated Easter weekend with tea and cakes at mum's with rest of the family on Friday afternoon, birthday lunch with whole family for big sis's birthday on Saturday and dinner on Sunday night with the boyfriend's family. Now I am fully recovered from my horrible lurgy, have finally got my appetite back and am making up for it now and eating too much again... Yesterday afternoon the boyfriend and I did some food shopping followed by a spot of spring-cleaning because the flat was a complete tip and the lovely lady from the estate agents is coming round again to check up on us on Friday morning! Am supposed to be finishing off the flat today, but am not getting on too well at the moment *blush*.

Went to see my new best friend the friendly local Mortgage Advisor this morning. He has offered to lend me a lot more money than the stingy Key Worker Housing scheme have, so the search for our new home is officially on again. It also means that I don't have to sell my soul to the education system (ie. sign up to being a teacher until I finally retire in about 40 years time!), so we're going to go for a normal mortgage instead. Really must stop searching for properties on the internet and get on with some serious cleaning and tidying up now. I'm hoping to get all the boring jobs (eg. flat cleaning and work for school) done over the next couple of days, so I can enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend before I have to go back to school on Monday. Might even take a nice jaunt down to Brighton with big sis before normality of working too hard sets in again... : )
