Today: windows right down, Battle of Los Angeles right up. TESTIFY! What gorgeous weather, seriously. I hope it continues FOREVER. Two houses cleaned, three dogs walked. Scored a new daycare dog and hopefully got a bit of cat feeding to do in May! Life continues to absolutely rock. The sorting of finances continues. Today I paid off my overdraft with coins out of my doggy money box. I am totally winning at everything.
Some estate agent rang me earlier about a flat I was looking at. I didn't realise I'd sent an e-mail about that one. Hmmm. He rang three times and left two messages! I guess I should stop enquiring about places until I've got a deposit. Haha. This is the one they rang me about I think. It's my favourite one that is a vague possibility; it all looks proper white and shiny and bangtidy. And a tiny little balcony, omg I want! I just hope it stays on the market for another 68 years, 'cause that's how long it's gonna take me to save up the £17,000 deposit I'll require according to this mortgage comparison site. LOLZ. I keep looking at this one too because I'm amazed at the price. It went up for auction last week too and didn't sell. I reckon I could get it for £50k, and I'd only need £5,000. Haha, the bargain basement choice. Tiny, but I reckon I could deal. The location is perfect. No outside space, but the Common's only a couple of streets away.
This is my ultimate favourite. Awww. No chance of that though, really. I'd need at least £27,000 and that ain't happening. But, want. Closely followed by this. This is also awesome. Pfff. I guess there are ways to get that much money? Who knows, eh.
Anna got a new flat screen telly for our lounge. Shit is posh, so I am downstairs checking it out. OMG Eastenders! Ronnie gave the baby back!

Strange days, indeed.
Oct. 20th, 2009 12:09 amLast week - cleaning, walking with hounds, recording vocals, cleaning, walking with hounds, TV shoot, cleaning, walking with hounds, cleaning, ballet, recording more cover songs for lolz, cleaning, hung out with Steve, saw Jeannie a couple of times. Then it was the weekend. Skindred on Saturday night were blinding, as always. Incredible band. Their gigs (this was my fourth I think?) are always so hot and sweaty, dirty bass, partyful atmosphere, ragga metal, Welsh accents... just amazing. Support band Karnivool were awesome too, I really must check them out on the NETZ.
This week? We'll see. Not a good start. Lost another customer this morning, but gained two more. Not enough though. Need ££s! Lots of them, quick! Oooh, I found out that Soulsavers are supporting DM in December, which is awesome news. Our washing machine's all buggered up, not so awesome. I spent the whole day hanging with my bro at his house, waiting for laundry to... launder. I don't have a lot to do this week, really. Take more laundry to more people. Take my own dogs out for a change. Take a bit of time to chill out, and maybe be a bit creative.
Or just be ill, perhaps. *achoo*

Really not much happening...

Band practise was cancelled ‘cause the whole phone network round here went down and the people didn’t want to open the hall in case there was an accident. Fucking stupid. So we went to the pub, after driving around looking for Tamsin for ages! We went to the Happy Cheese and had some salad. I left my minidisc player in Timur’s car.
26th April
Tonight was boring. Dave and Steve came round and we just watched TV. Steve went home mega early (probably bored) and me and Dave had a real long natter. I’m going to Spain for a week with Nanny! I’ve paid for my tickets today! Yay, can’t wait!
