The first two months of 2010 have been very busy, exciting and at times, a little stressful! This article is a quick run-through of everything me and my Fiancée have been up to in the early stages of 2010!

Home Hunting!

This month has been a very busy one for both me and my Fiancée, which is why there haven’t been all too many new articles recently! We have been hunting for somewhere to live (our first home together) for a few weeks now, and have looked round several properties; some nice and some terrible! We have finally found somewhere, and had a stressful, expensive and exciting few days of paying fees, filling in forms and getting them handed in on time! At last, it’s all done; now we’re just playing the waiting game – the forms are being sent off so they can nose into our daily lives to find out whether we’re loyal enough to look after someones property; I never knew renting in my country would be so difficult!

Moving out is going to be excellent. As well as getting to spend much more time with my gorgeous Fiancée, I’ll have a little more time to focus on my work, as well as having a real office space instead of a small corner in my very small bedroom which I somehow managed to fit a double bed, a 32″ LCD TV, a Blu-Ray Cinema System, an office and lots of books, clothes and various other things in; I’m looking very forward to being able to sleep in a different room to where I work!

Barcelona!

With the majority of the stressful stuff out the way now regarding home hunting, we have a few nights away in the busy city of Barcelona, which we hear is quite stunning! We will be staying at Hotel Silken Diagonal, a very modern hotel (inside and out) designed by famous Barcelona architect Juli Capella.

It’s going to do nothing but good to get away for a few days and have a nice relaxing break and see a few famous sights. I’m planning on taking lots of photos so expect a follow-up post! Hopefully Barcelona will provide plenty of inspiration and I’ll come back refreshed with lots of great ideas!

When I said this is a quick run-through, I meant it! We’re leaving in about one hours time for the airport, and flying out at about 4pm.

I’ll probably post the odd photo from time to time via Twitter if Barcelona is big on WiFi spots, so be sure to add me on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date with my daily-doings! Expect a follow-up post sometime next week!
