I was feeling incredibly lazy this afternoon, but I bit the bullet and started doing the chores. Steve unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher and I started on the laundry. I then proceeded onto our bedroom and a)re-arranged furniture once more and b) cleaned it up and changed the sheets on the bed. I moved our bed because where it was situated before, if you were lying in bed, you were in clear view of the door, and disturbingly enough, both Steve and I have awoken in the middle of the night to see someone standing in our doorway. Our flat is haunted, we know that well enough, but it's creepy to see someone standing in your room. So I moved the bed and hopefully, as Steve put it, he won't actually come all the way into the room now and hover over us.

My stuff from Canada arrives tomorrow so I was making room for my books that are coming. I can't wait to get my hands on my Pierre Berton and my Mary Stewart collection. I've missed them dearly! My LOTR collection is also arriving, but I don't have anywhere to put it, so it will stay in the storage bins until we move into a house probably LOL. My hope chest is coming, and I've cleared a spot for it under the window in the bedroom. My Royal Doulton figurines will also probably stay in their boxes as this place is just in too much of a shambles at the moment to put them out. I have all my pictures and picture frames of friends and family and those will go out around the flat too.

Our wedding gifts/cards are also arriving so I can finally get started on my thank you cards! At this rate they'll be included in with the christmas cards, but it's better late than never right? I also can't wait to get my Grandma's cookbooks that my grandfather gave me at the wedding...mmmmmmmm I finally have her recipe for spaghetti sauce and all the other lovely things she used to make. She was a cracking cook and in fact, the cookbook, one of them, came from HER mom, so it's actually passed down to me from my great grandmother.

For the moment though, my puppy needs to go out, so I better get him outside.
