So. We have moved! Mostly. There are still a few bits and pieces at the old house, like my curtains, but they're going to be collected at the weekend when we do the Massive Epic Clean-up of Doom. But all the important stuff is at the new house, like my books and laptop. I'm exhausted today - really wish I could have stayed in bed, but the day job called, and I left the house stupidly early because I wasn't sure how long the new trip to work would be... and as a result I was still the first person here by a good fifteen minutes, so now I know *shrug*

Anyway. The new place is brilliant! Turns out the kitchen is fully stocked with mostly new equipment, so we could get rid of a lot of our battered pots and pans and blunt knives. Turns out we also have a garden. I know! After all my bitter invective agains the old garden! But this one is tiny, and is probably going to be completely slabbed over, which suits me fine. It's actually behind the house behind us, so it's not like we could even get a lawnmower to it anyway.

We also discovered (with much rejoicing) a pizza takeaway on the high street that does curry pizzas. Curry pizzas! Lamb balti pizza FTW! Still haven't mastered the shower, however, which apparently will either be icy cold or dangerously hot, but nothing in between. And there are still lots of boxes of books sitting around waiting to be shelved, not to mention a stack of clothes, none of which I remotely recognised. I realised with some sadness that I have maybe four or five mix-and-match work outfits, and the rest of the time I either wear my Disturbed hoodie or my Run DMC t-shirt depending on the time of year, which means I have a whole wardrobe full of clothes I never, ever wear. And lot of them are too small for me at the moment, which I guess is further incentive to lose weight, as if any were needed...

Anyway. So. Yes. We can haz new house. And [livejournal.com profile] chaostheory  can haz new house too, so all is well! And I totally didn't wake up in the night, hear the neighbours moving around, assume it was her, and then get sad when I remembered it wasn't. Totally. In the mean time, Kyle and I are enjoying the grown-upness of having an actual house with an actual upstairs and downstairs. We were all "we have a staircase! This is really adult! Let's get a zombie shower curtain!" I'm envisioning something like this:


 
It should work well with the copy of the Necronomicon currently sitting on the bathroom shelf. I feel people using my bathroom should take the time to read an HP Lovecraft story or two while they're there.

Curry pizzas sound DELISH omg. I can relate on the shower issue -- as soon as you turn on the cold tap, all the hot water goes bye-bye here. And there's a hairsbredth difference between optimum and freezing. I hope you can figure out the way to master the balance. Also, that shower curtain would rock so hard.

I also like this one:

I cannot recommend those pizzas enough. If it was possible, I would send you one.

I'll have to go looking them up on the local pizzeria menus. A couple of the gourmet stores do them (expensive, but Dfj;afdj OMFG WORTH IT), and I think the last non-traditional pizza I had was a Thai sweet chilli chicken pizza with coriander. SO GOOD.

lolol that shower curtain is epic. Though, if you wanted to terrify your guests, you'd get the Edward Cullen one.

I don't know if I'd be comfortable showering with Edward's dead, hate-filled eyes on me...

Congratulations! We lived in flats for years and when we got our first upstair/downstairs our cats were all, "WTF - I go up there?!" The novelty never wore off.

Curry pizzas - that's two fast food items in one, I love it.

We have an exciting spiral staircase ^_^ The novelty will probably never wear off for me either!

Awww, man, congrats! Home ownership is wonderful. Way up there with getting a driver's license and getting married as far as significant rites of passage in my book. ;)

enjoying the grown-upness of having an actual house with an actual upstairs and downstairs. We were all "we have a staircase! This is really adult!

Hahah! Great to hear you say that. Alan and I say things like, "Whoah! I feel so adult!" when we try certain new things or make a lifestyle upgrade. I thought we were just being silly, but it's nice to see we're not the only ones. ;)

That curry pizza sounds awesome. So I think I'm glad I don't live close to a place that serves it for my waistline's sake. >_>

Lol, no, you're not being silly. The way I figure it, if more than one person is doing it, it's not silly, it's a cult.

...I really want to know where I can order a shower curtain like that. Mine is ready to be replaced.

I've seen them in our local Forbidden Planet, but I'm guessing they're mostly only available online.
