The last hour has largely been spent phoning people up to organise mortgage things. Because I changed which flat Iwas going for Standard Life have got to send me out new application forms. At the same time I pushed for a 95% loan and for a 10 year fixed amount. This means that even if interest rates go back up, I'll be ok, and the extra 5% will give me about £3k to move house, sort the bathroom out, deal with emergencies, etc.
This whole moving house thing is a pain in the arse, to be honest. I'm already looking forward to it being over!

Not sure if I've mentioned this before, but at 10:30 on Tuesday night, I will be seated in the Dominion Theatre in Edinburgh, awaiting the start of The Two Towers.
Standard Life's SF Society has hired the whole cinema and I'll be staggering out at 2:30am (ish) feeling tired but happy.
At 9am I start my first day with my team. Thankfully nobody expects me to be productive for the first while, especially not 3 days before the Christmas hols. Actually, I should be ok, I can live on 5 hours sleep without too much problem for 1 day.

Happy Birthday to Me!
Well, happy birthday to my journal, which I started one year ago today.
I year, 7 hours, 43 friends, 6 communities, 477 entries, 1815 comments and 14 invited users later I think that the experiment's going well.
Here's to the next year!

Calling all SF fans
Go here, answer the quiz, if you can. I got all of them bar number 6. I had to check 1, but it was an educated guess.
