Ding!


So the reason I havn't updated for so long is because I was studying, packing, applying for jobs, and studying some more. but it's paid off! as of today, I'm a "Oracle PL/SQL developer Certified Associate". yay!

just a quick summary (hungry and have some cleaning to do) last weekend we moved out most of our stuff, the couches, the extra bed and miscelaneous junk in the spare room and our main bed frame. we've been sleeping on the mattress on the floor all this time. it's actually quite snug and we don't annoy eachother as much when we move arround. makes it hard to get up in the morning though.

the English couple that expressed intrest in our house pulled out so we've dropped the price a bit and hopefully we'll get someone before we leave. Sold our car, people comming to pick it up on sunday. sold both drum kits - got a good price for the electronic one.

we're all set to go to london pretty much. this comming week I'm going to transfer another 5-7k over to the london bank account so we can hit the ground running a bit more.

on Sunday we're moving to my parents place and staying there until we leave in 10 sleeps time.

things to do:

  • Buy new work shoes,
  • buy new work pants
  • transfer money to London bank account
  • notify body corp
  • book an airport transfer to the London hotel
  • register with umbrella company
  • Figure out how to get to tokyo city from Narita airport (remember the names of the stations etc)
  • clean house
  • back up computer hard drive onto cd
  • buy video camera (maybe)
  • get some yen and pounds cash.
