Grumpy me

Wow, a month has just flown by and it really amazes me how time can fly even when you’re not having fun! Yes, yes, I’m still little Miss Grumpy at the moment and still living in a B&B. However, there is light at the end of this very long and narrow tunnel! We’ll be finally moving into our flat on the 20th and that’s only just over a week away.

Living in a grotty B&B (why or why doesn’t the B&B lady ever clean?? In fact, I’d even clean the place if it weren’t for the fact that we’re paying them good money to stay there and by principal, we’re paying so I shouldn’t’ have to clean!) for a month has resulted in bad diet, bad sleep and a very grumpy WoknSpoon. And don’t even mention the fact that Australia lost to England in the Rugby World Cup last weekend!

Despite having access to a miniature kitchenette, I haven’t really felt motivated to cook and we’ve been living on takeaway food and ready-made meals (including packaged fresh and canned soups) that we can throw in the microwave. I’ve never actually eaten those ready-made meals that you find in the local supermarket before this episode and I think I never will E.V.E.R again!

In fact, the thought of a ready-made meal is making my stomach churn so we are running out of things to eat…which makes me even grumpier.

Anyway, no lovely photos of mouth-watering food to share however I do have one photo which always makes me smile: Hubs in Germany with a gigantic meat skewer!
1 week to go and counting!

  11. Too bad about Oz losing to England. England seems to be doing pretty well, eh?

    Well I'm glad you're able to see that light which I'm sure is getting brighter and brighter as the days go by. It ain't fun living out of a suitcase. I suppose you can think of it as an adventure? :-)

  12. Yes, time sure flies even when one is not having fun (thank goodness).

    I don't think you could be grumpier than I was when I was in the same situation 8 years ago.

    I do empathise with you. How many more sleeps before moving into new flat? :)

I know how it's feel having take away all the time such as chinese take away, fish & chips shop and kebabs plus those supermarket food such as from sailbury, tesco and mark & spencer. Be patient and i am sure you will move into a nicer place. don't forget to update us.
