Jackson

michael-jackson

I have just finished my new wordpress theme called “Jackson” in honour of the great Micheal Jackson the legendary singer who passed away recently. The wordpress theme is quite simply, it is based on the stable framework called K2 which powers this blog. It has a simple header with a menu blended into the background and a simple colour scheme to match, simplistic is the key.

To install make sure that you are running the wordpress framework k2, and simply drop the folder jackson into you k2 styles folder within your wordpress theme directory.  Active from the k2 options menu, and you new theme will be ready to go.

Moving House Part duex

So yesterday my parents came up to Chester to move out the rest of my things from my flat including my desk, double bed, fridge. Also they cleaned my flat for me except the portion of the lounge where all mine and Chereen’s things are in the middle of the room. That will be the next stage of the move as tomorrow i will be collecting my keys for my new place, which is only 10 minutes further to walk to work which will not be so bad. But the room im moving into is going to be pretty small. Never mind im saving £200 a month which i can save up to atleast to hope in a years time i can afford a mortgage for a house or flat. We shall see, i think its going to be fun next year. :)

Moving House

So yesterday began the preperation for moving out of my flat that i share with Chereen to a new house share not far from where i am living now. It will be a little strange from going from my own place to the only room in the house been my bedroom which will be mine, everything else i will share. But in the long term i will be saving £200 a month which is a huge amount of money to save, the plan is to put aside atleast £300 a month in a savings account so this time next year i can look to get my own house well anyhow a morgage which would be a good start.

Last night my dad game and collected the sofa, my bike, and the Washing Machine. The washing machine was very heavy i have no idea how it was lifted up the stairs let alone how we managed to get it down. It was heavy.

So i have now started packing some bits and pieces, the last things to move out will be my bed and the desk which will be picked up on monday night, as i will be moving in to my new house on wednesday.

Updates to follow on Monday.
