Hey all
So its Friday, the end of the week and what a quick week its been this week! I had food poisoning at the weekend into the start of the week and by the end of the week I had joined two supply agencies which will hopefully mean I’ll be getting work by mid September *insert smiley here*. On top of all that my housemates and I have decided to be organised and do a joint weekly food shop and cook together and to arrange it all on a white board. The most exciting thing about all this is…. yep! The Whiteboard.
The Whiteboard is an amazing thing and the Whiteboard here is even better as it also has a corkboard next to it. That means that when we find some pins we can also leave notes or bills or letters or keys there too so not only will it have our magically-amazing-food-meal-chart-thing-and-shopping-list it’ll also be a multi purpose organisational device! That my blogfriends is what I’ve always wanted.
After being at uni away from home for four years I’m now on my fifth set of housemates. In halls there were seven of us in our uni flat and although most the time we got on, we always fended for ourselves. In my second year I shared with two others but as one was a vegetarian and the other a vegan and me a meat eater we also had to fend for ourselves. By the time I entered my third year I owned my own house thanks to tax loop holes and paperwork and my housemate *slash* tennant was some stranger I didn’t really know so we went around our own business. Last year that housemate *slash* tennant stayed on and we were joined by a friend from my uni course and although we still tended to do our own thing, at least plates, utensils etc were more commonly shared so this year its great to finally do the ‘communal’ thing! Of course its only been a week of doing this and I’m away next week so it may all go belly up but it’ll be great if it all works. The Whiteboard of course is central to it working and not only do we have a whiteboard, we all have our own coloured pen for it…. colour coding… great thing!
So yep! End of the week. Need to start packing for my week down in Cornwall that starts on Tuesday. Although its the same place I’ve gone all my life I’m really looking forward to it, probably because I didn’t go last year as I was in America. Not a huge camping fan nor for the fact that I’ll be sleeping in a number of tents because as the youngest I’m the easiest one to move around when its needed and noone can be bothered to pay for an extra tent (next year I’ll make sure there’s an extra tent for me!) but after camping across America last year hopefully I’ll be able to rely on those memories to get me through it!
Will blog before I go, but if I don’t over the weekend, have a good one.
