Quick Some Promised Verbal Diarrhea

Okay, so we had problems getting phone service here. Apparently because we've never had a phone in the UK we need to pay 150 GBP to BT. However, we need to pay with a UK credit card. Not having a UK credit card, our relocation expert was nice enough to lend us his. Next to set up a bank account we have to have a utility bill with our address on it. However, it can't be the first bill. Well, I just moved here you twit, figure that one out. So once the phone line is established you have to wait three days before setting up Internet and then once they have signed you up, it takes another 5 business days to hook you up. I still don't have a checking account, will call tomorrow to find out about that. They decided to send me a letter to tell me that they needed additional information which I received on Friday after having gone into the bank the previous Friday to set up the account. Hopefully everything is good tomorrow and I can go deposit the check that I have that is in pounds which I don't want to cash.

The children have been going to school and are currently out on term break. They have two weeks instead the public school's one week. Then five more weeks and they are done and we have the summer to play and figure out where to go and what to do. Phil has to work, so I'm thinking the kids and I might have to brave it on our own. Not that I'm feeling quite up to that, so if you want to plan a vacation, call me, we'll figure out something. Anyway, we haven't been anywhere since Bolsover castle. A few walks in the moors, but no actual castles. And yes, I realize that I'm a horrible writer with sentence fragments galore and run on sentences divine, but it's just a blog.
