The generosity of others

Recently I’ve been fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of other peoples generous nature and decided its something I’d like to talk about for three reasons, first of all to show my appreciation and give them the credit they deserve but also because generosity seems to be something which is increasingly rare these days and lets face it, in todays financial climate for many people it’s difficult just to get by day to day without showing consideration for others.

So since deciding to move into the new apartment, so many people have gifted me things I’ll no doubt need when I move in and I’ve loved every gift I’ve received!

I guess eating is a basic when it comes to survival or self preservation so it’s instinctive for people to choose gifts for the kitchen, a dinner set, cutlery, mugs, frying pan, sauce pan, tin opener even food itself!

I’d like to thank everyone who gave me any of these gifts, moving date is 30th March. Property insurance, telephone and broadband now in place :)

Peace out.

It’s been a long time coming but I’ve decided to move from Solihull to live in Worcester, it will mean that I’m closer to work and will save money on the daily commute, what with the rising costs of fuel (ranging from £1.36-£1.39 per litre for unleaded petrol) and the depreciation of my car as it racks up the miles.

So I found a really interesting property near the city centre and it used to be an old hops warehouse, it’s a two bedroomed apartment, most of it is on one floor but it has a spiral staircase leading up to a mezzanine bedroom (which overlooks the lounge) and an ensuite bathroom. It has another bathroom downstairs which is ideal as it means visitors wouldn’t have to go up to my room to use the bathroom.

I think it’s fair to say I’ve found a faily unique property and I’m very pleased, so the moving date is 30th March 2012, here are some pictures anyway:
