That's wise of you, taking your time to finish everything without rushing it :)

, Thank you... and no, it's not a custom background... It's from this months collection :)

We have the same background! I normally don't buy the monthly collections but I had some CSC left over after the black friday sale and this one looked so nice.

We have a fake tree as well. My boyfriend is allergic to certain things and pine is one of them. So it's really he only thing we can have.

I didn't know about that list! Thank you, that makes my life a lot easier :)

That was a lovely tree! I hope your new ornaments are still in one piece.

Good thing to take it easy. Moving can be very stressful. A couple of years ago my boyfriend and I had only 5 days to move, and it was truly horrible. We only got a few hours of sleep every night because there was so much to pack and prepare. At first I was putting everything in the boxes very neatly and wrote down on the box what was in it and where it should go, but in the end I didn't care anymore and just shoved stuff in there.

: Aww, yeah busy roads are not nice for cats :( Glad one of them learned and still lived to be 19 though.

And yeah, there might always be circumstances where you just can't help it. But I am trying to be as equipped to take care of them as possible! I want (a) happy cat(s) :3

: :O that was indeed what I had forgotten.. now I feel a bit stupid XD

yep and so i am taking my time and do it right :)

Bohemian_739 wow 5 days?! I am glad i have more time.

Yes, It was when I found a job in Utrecht but we still lived in Groningen. I found a place to rent in Zeist and signed the contract already, but I had a month to move because my job started the next month. My boyfriend would initially stay in Groningen until he found a job near Utrecht as well. So a week after I sign the contract he went to a job interview and they asked if he could start next week, and he said yes. So we decided to both move that week and get it over with... It was pretty stressful, I had the feeling that I didn't get to say goodbye to some people/places, so for a long time after the move I felt a bit homesick. When we left Zeist a year ago we did everything more calmly and well prepared and it was much nicer.

You're very welcome! It's handy.

Ah! It's a really nice background. :)

i can believe that was very stressfull. I think for me itś stressfull in moving within 3 weeks but you are worse.

are you packing already? You can probably already begin with stuff you're not going to use in the next weeks.

all done with packing. Well not the things i still need. Been packing since august.

Wow, you are well prepared! Do you still need to paint anything when they will finish your new house or is it ready to move into already?

Hi everyone c: hadn't had much time yesterday to be online. A 'friend' of mine gave a baby shower so I had to show up and after that my mom came over for a visit so I kept her company. The baby shower was okay - we're not really good friends, since she only reaches out to me whenever she needs something, but it was a fun experience. I didn't have a lot in common with her other friends either, they were all very loud and trying to talk over each other and there wasn't a lot of listening ... I on the other hand get real quiet in those situations so ugh ... xD awkward!

Ah pity, but luckily fake trees can be very beautiful as well, and this way you can at least have a tree! There is something to be said for the smell of a real tree, but they are definitely not as easy as the fake ones.

We only have a very small tree because of space issues, but it is a real one ^_^ but yeah, if you can't have one because of allergies then there are really nice fake alternatives!

Ugh, those situations can be very akward indeed.. xD I have the same problem sometimes too ;)

Oh great //high fives// We're two peas in a pod.

I don't like having to raise my voice to be heard, I'm always like: "If they don't want to listen, that's their loss!" But it'll end up awkward. I'm so much better with smaller groups!

The tree is still standing. I'm so happy about that.

sbslink Why do you feel stupid. We all could forget something like that.

Wow after a really great evening yesterday with my colleagues. We had a late sinterklaas Party. We had lots of fun.

high fives back

Good to hear that the tree is still standing :) I'm going to put up mine today

And that's always nice, having fun with colleagues :D

We have such a great team. Two weeks ago we went with 25 from us {we are with 31 at the moment} to the Winter efteling. And now we had Surprise evening with 19 of us. Not everyone wants to join.

This is the tree how it looks now. Still happy with it.

That's a nice number of people who joined :D And that also sounds fun, going to the winter efteling :) (you do that every year don't you?)

Wow, what a big tree! It looks very nice :D

We have every year a day/evening with the company, We went to the efteling 2 years ago but it was in septerber so not the winterefteling. And we had a really big party with the whole kruidvat company when we celebrate the company was 50 years old
