So long, Farewell, Cheerio

At least for the next week and a bit :p. For those that haven't been following the RLAaToW thread:
I got a job offer for a position with the DWP in Poole on Monday afternoon and decided to takke the job. I was given a week to sort out how I was getting down to Poole {I live near Edinburgh in Scotland}, where I would be living and how I would get to work first thing on the following Monday morning. Cue a frantic week of worrying over what I was going to do and how the heck I'd manage to get a dress for my aunt's weding in November {I'm the Maid of Honour at said wedding}. By this morning I have maanged to:
Find a place to stay with a lovely family who are willing to let me live with them as long as I need.
Found the perfect Bridesmaid's dress, shoes, shawl and tiara
Bought a whole bunch of new clothes suitable for wearing to the office
Packed everything I need as far as clothing goes
Booked my flight to Southampton airport from Edinburgh
Arranged for someone to pick me up and take me to my new home
Managed to arrange to borrow a laptop with a wireless card, dvd player and games console with games from my friend until I can afford to get them for myself {the laptop will end up getting bought with the first month's wages, along with Spore to play with}.
So yes, it has been a very hectic week and I don't know when I will next get onto the internet to bug you all again since I don't know whether the older laptop will behave with the wireless broadband in the house I'll be living in. So until I get an internet connection I shall have to leave ;-;. I'll try to be back as soon as with pictures though .
