So I've been living down south in the world of the wussy southerners for just over a week now and am settling in quite canny to be honest, things are still a little hectic and I've still to sort through some boxes which should have been unpacked by now but who sorts everything out first time round.
I'm starting to get used to the whole southern routine in life although there are still a few things which I've got to get used to and others which I dont think I ever will get used to like the fact that no one at all down here seems to be interested in football which bugs me so much as I've no one to talk to about the wonders of Newcastle United.
As for my job so far I am enjoying it, the first few days I had the usual thought which I seem to have which is "what have I let my self in for" but as things have calmed down and I'm getting used to working the way they want me to I'm starting to enjoy it more and more as each day goes by (that and I am allowed to swear and wear casual clothing which I'm not used to).

So it's not long now until my life will be packed away in boxes hidden from the world.
I've got 3 weeks to wait till I move down to Anna's and I've still not even considered where or how I'm going to pack everything, Anna is already in Newbury waiting of me following on but I've got to wait until June 23rd to drive down as I don't leave TH_NK until June 22nd.
The closer the date gets the more I'm looking forward to moving as it will be a total new challenge, me and Anna will have our own house which is not something we've had before, I'll have a new job and I'll be away fending for myself without my family to fall back on this time which is something I'm up for.

As some of you people may know me and Anna are looking for a house in Newbury as Anna wants to be living closer to her parents, so because of this I started looking for jobs about 2 weeks ago and I've already managed to find a new job.
I'm going to work for a company called Heath Wallace in Reading which isn't too far away from Newbury, I'm quite looking forward to it as they are quite a well organised company from what I can gather and they do have quite a few big names clients who's websites I'll be hopefully working on.
Within the company my role should be very similar to what I'm doing within TH_NK which is a web developers role where I have to work on sites using HTML and CSS but also have the chance to work with and learn Javascript which is something I'm really interested in doing.
Just after I handed in my resignation (which terrified me) I sat down and for 5 minutes I was kind of shell shocked to tell the truth, up until that point I'd not stopped to think that what was going on was actually real, it was just a plan which we'd been putting together and in a way it was relief when the plan was finally put into action.
All in all I am looking forward to the move although I can honestly say with hand on heart that I do not want to leave TH_NK, as they have been a fantastic company to work for whilst I've been there and there are alot of people who I will really miss from the company.
