Bonjour!

Bonjour mes amis!

Well, hasn't that been a long time? I mean, hello! It's nearly the end of February, 2013, and I have only just remembered I actually own a blog. Am I a bit loco or what? Sorry for the different languages - I'm writing my French speaking and have only got as far as the first sentence. I'm not so good at French, if I'm honest. Oh well, c'est la vie ;)

So, big news (and no, my Sims game isn't working yet). I'm moving!

Wow. Yeah, it came as a shock to me too (not really, this has been going on for months). Not just moving houses either (although we are doing that too), but moving countries. From England to Holland, my home country - even though I only lived there for a couple years before going abroad. I know I've only lived in England five years, but it feels like my home, and - to be completely honest with, let's be honest, complete strangers - I don't know quite how I feel about it. There are a lot of pros (new bedroom and a rabbit, who wouldn't want that!?), but also cons. Leaving all my friends, for instance, and I don't think there is such a thing as Starbucks or Costa in Holland.

Oh well, as I said before, c'est la vie. And I'm sure it's going to be all that bad, I just have to wait and see. Turning over a new leaf is always a good thing, I'm sure. Furthermore, I get to decorate my room exactly how I want to! Yay! I can't paint walls or add / take away anything in my current room because this house is a rental and we can't :( So that's always a good thing! I have several ideas for beds/ curtains/ duvets & pillows/ carpets/ wallpaper!!! I'm so excited it's unreal! Here are just a few ideas on how I could decorate my new room:

Or maybe more simple?

And how do you like this bedcover?

I just love love love all these things. There's just so much to choose from when decorating a room... it's infuriating! What's also infuriating is the fact that I have acquired a rather small bedroom, which would only fit a single bed, or a bed that is 120 x 200 cm - and let me tell you, I don't want a single bed and a really nice 120cm one is practically impossible to get hold of.

Also, have any of you lovely (if rare) readers noticed the new layout? New year, new template, right? Although it is a bit late... Well, as someone very clever (or stupid, depends on how you look at it) once said, better late than never.

On that note, there will be another post up later today with some more things to ramble on about. Now, however, I must really get on with that French speaking.

Au revoir!
