Goods news.

We are finally getting our boiler replaced at home, this thing is ancient and the pilot light constantly goes out meaning you fear turning it back on in case it blows up. :D

Bad news.

We are now without hot water and a shower till Tuesday night :( so cold washes in the sink tomorrow morning :(

Good news.

The fence between our house and the next door neighbours is getting replaced, starting today :D

Bad news.

We are paying money towards it as it's a shared boundary :(

How's your week going so far?

Good news: Leg is improving significantly, and I can stand unaided.
Bad news: This means I have to go back to work, after 11 weeks off :/
Good news: I will be getting paid again!

Good news: I may have a prospective new job doing exactly what I want to do.
Bad news: It may be part time which means I'd have to hunt for a second job.

Not bad for a Monday morning :D

Good
Found a nice flat on Friday so we have somewhere to live in 2 weeks time when building work starts on current house

Bad
I'm going to be paying for all rent/bills for the first and probably the 2nd month as Klara still needs to find a job.



Good
I'm working from home this week which is nice after an insane travel schedule last week saw me in 4 different cities in 3 different countries in 4 days.

Bad
I already have enough work lined up for this week to pretty much guarantee a 75-80 hour week.

Last week we found we had an 18 month old Gas Leak, but didn't spot it because we always have the extractor fan on, though there have been mentions of gas smells when it isn't, the boiler we have does let of a miniscule level of gas anyway, however the gas bill shot up and the gas line dropped 24 millbar of gas in less than 90 seconds (for those who don't know, new builds aren't allowed to drop more then 0.5mb in 2 minutes).

Good News: I've done all the ironing (HOoOoOoORAAAAY), managed to mow the lawn and plonk together most of my VAT return. I have also finished a couple of card designs and am excited about them being launched into Clintons on Wedsnesday (and on wednesday I'm going to see Status Quo! Yay!)

Bad News: The house is still a bit of a dump and I have people coming to stay tomorrow! Although I have done two card designs I can't get this last one done. I also have about... 1500 odd cards left to fold and pack. Boooooo!

Bad news: My 3 flat currently has 5 people living in it while me and my girlfriend live in my mates' flat so he can get some help while he recovers from two fractured heels.

Good news: Two of the 5 have just found a new place so soon I can move back in, hopefully soon my girlfriend will find her own place so I can have my wardrobe back!

Bad news: Work is really busy and all the investment bankers are extra unhappy (can't think why ;) ) - plus I don't really like my job in the first place.

Good news: Might have an interview lined up, seeing Deadmau5 on Thursday and then having an all dayer on Saturday to celebrate my birthday!

Good news: I haven't physically hurt anyone yet

Bad news: A disk appears to have died on my server - again. And I think it's the one I replaced a few months ago. :/

Good news: I think I backed it up over the weekend (though it's RAID 1 and the other disk is still good anyway).

Still, definitely not what I needed today. I really don't want to be taking a PC apart when I'm not feeling so good.
