Ok, actually it was a year ago the day before yesterday. I moved out of the parental house to my own!
Before going to sleep yesterday it suddenly dawned on me how different my day was from a year ago.
A year ago my house was pretty empty, I was still tidying and cleaning up the place.
I did grocery shopping and I had no idea what I'd cook for myself.
Not to mention that I was in between jobs. I had taken Christmas off and I'd start at a new company in January.
The new job also meant a pay cut, but the new house meant a rise in costs. I had no idea how much money I'd have left at the end of the month...
That day, yesterday a year ago, was my first full day in my own house. Not a day with doubt or insecurity, but a day where everything was different nonetheless.
Now, a year later, my house is a little less empty, I'm not worrying about what I'll eat, I've got a cat, the house feels like home, and everything's going well at my new job.
Felt pretty good

WHAT THE!? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PICTURE? 
Oh, never mind. I just noticed the extension cord, that house can't be mine, what a mess!

In 20 years I'll be living in a most luxurious villa, having wealth that will put Bill Gates to shame
Anyway, that's 20 years from now. I might have changed my name by then, so don't be surprised if you never hear from me

It's the cat that does it: a house without a pet isn't a home...
Congratulations!
(And now you have it all sorted, it's time to move a lady in to change it all... )
P.S.: got any piccies of the cat?

I tried, but all it got me was a restraining order

I think you're supposed to chat them up, not use Rohypnol!

Gardening is not your strong suit then?

Not sure if best or worst dating advice I ever got...

Only when the door is open... When I close it she wants to get back in asap. It's winter now and I'm not leaving the door open while she's outside... So she's not going outside
OriginalGriff wrote: Gardening is not your strong suit then?
It's a necessary evil. I got it with the house (and with 'got' I mean 'paid dearly').
I've sold the tiles and I hired someone to make a path. I only need to get the weeds out of the way and sow some grass... It doesn't look very neat, but at least it's now identifiable as a garden
But a little green in the back does look nice

Fit a cat flap?
You can get them with RFID, so only your cat can use it.

My Xmas post is really bothering you, isn't it?
I'm sorry if I somehow offended you, that wasn't my intent.
Anyway, humanity never was my thing

Same, my condition....
Trying to modify a query of a report and ex-colleague created. It's hell messy. Just can't understand what kind of coder he was. It's just freakin' messy 
Aah.. I'm shaking, and it's quite cold here, too

Sad news - saw Motorhead several times over the years, from '81 at Leeds Queens Hall to Glastonbury this year (where he looked very frail) - also saw him reunite with Hawkwind at their 30th anniversary gig at Brixton Academy.

Tragic indeed, leaves me wondering what the next generation is going to use for permanent ear-damage.
