Its been a long week, it has been a long month, in fact it has been a long quarter of a year, but finally our flat is fixed (apart from the fridge being put back, the blinds going up and the carpet in the spare room going back down, but thats all small stuff)!!! Hurra! Finally we can get back to normal, and enjoy our lovely flat again. Pictures soon to follow, after we have spent the next 2 days cleaning up the dust. Annoyingly our landlord cheaped-out in the end, and replaced what was a fairly nice tile floor before it had to be ripped up for the repairs, with nasty lino. Bit of a shame considering how lovely the rest of our kitchen is, but never mind.
Even more good news, as some of you may have noticed through the medium of my slightly drunken Facebooking, this week ended with Joni getting a job! Hurra! Not a particularly exciting job - a call centre in Dundee, for BT. But a job is a job! And in true Fiona style i have already mentally spent Jonis entire first pay-cheque. In fact I was pricing up a trip to Paris before the job was even confirmed! Sadly this won't be happening, but we can afford to relax a little now, and maybe I can get some new shoes :-D
On a slightly more serious note, I would like to say a very personal thank you to everyone who has supported us, financially and emotionally for the last 7 months. This has been the hardest period Joni and I have ever had to live through, harder than any one person will ever know I think, and it would have been much harder without so many people there to listen to me, given me a shoulder to cry on, and just generally supported us both. So thank you very much, to so many friends, old and new.
I coulds say a lot more right now, about the value of money and the horrific state of the job market, but it can wait. Now is time to celebrate, to the shops.....!
