Okay so I know this is totally overdue, Sorry for that! So what is new since Matty’s last update…
As you know we stayed at Ray’s place for 5 days last week before we moved into our new place, well we moved in last Tuesday evening. For those who know London it is by Earls Court and Kensington (ie just in zone 1 for the tube and only 5 stops to Matt’s work). It’s been so good to actually be able to feel more settled, to be in a set place and be able to hang up clothes and not live out of a suitcase. A bit about our place…there are 4 flats within the one house – I say flats, but it is more like 4 separate wings to the house. We are in flat 3 and there are 5 rooms in our flat. Each flat has it’s own kitchen, bathroom and washing machine, and there are 3-5 rooms so there is about 16 rooms in total in the house. Ie if all the housemates came together there are apparently 25 or so, crazy man, it’s like big brother. Sounds like it would be constantly busy and crazy in the house, well it’s not really. If you want to go into the common lounge and socialise then you can, but if we just want to chill out in our room then it can feel like no one else is even there as we are on the upper floor at the end so that is very nice.
The Proposal…My turn to fill in the gossip from when Matty proposed to me :)
We were having a great Saturday, lovely weather for the second day running and we were meeting up with Dale and Sheryl, what more could you ask for! Matty and I had been trying to go on the London Eye all week but the weather had been poo, so on Sat morning Matty booked our tickets over the net for 7pm. I thought it was a bit weird that we were going on a day that Dale and Sheryl were in London but at the same time I really wanted to go and seeing as the weather was good we had to do it. When it was time to set off (I was already happy cos Chelsea has just won the FA Cup) Matty secretly texted Dale to fill him in on what he was planning on doing. So off to the London Eye – I still had no idea what he was planning! It was awesome we got on the Champagne flight and man the views were just amazing!! Then when it got to the top of the flight Matty told me to put down my camera and then asked the question while on one knee! I didn’t know what to do as I was so surprised having had no idea, that I just had such a huge smile and gave him a hug, he said “So?” and I said “Of Course!!” There were these 3 ladies on the flight with us and they were loving it just as much, giving us hugs and all! So it was very cool!!
We then went off for a lovely dinner and then met up with the others. It was so good to have them here to celebrate with us!!
What else have we done…Not too much, while im still looking for a job (my CV is with a few people) and we have just had to pay bond, rent, bedding and food shopping to fill our fridge (we have one in our room) we are trying to not spend too much. Also the weather has gone bad again… We have had some awesome sunny summer days mixed with raining cold ones, it just can’t make up it’s mind yet. On Wed last week Matty and I enjoyed the sun in the morning then when he went to work I went to see Ray and then met up with Rob and to watch the Liverpool game…no more needs to be said about that. Then on Thurs I went for a walk (and got lost) around our flat to get us a duvet and a couple of other things. The weather was lovely so I took in the most while I could! Fri and Sat Matty had off so we just chilled out by our flat as Matty wasn’t feeling the best (he is good now after a few days of codral). Then Sunday I had a Sunday roast at Ray’s pub and a few free drinks (thanks to Ray’s usuals at the pub that buy him drinks to put on his tab!).
Ok so another big post update! hehe You know me i like to talk, and I’m just making up for this being overdue! ;)
Hope you are all doing fantastically well!
Big hugs and Kimmy Kisses

A huge congratulations to you both! I am so happy for you! I can tell that you are both super excited to be engaged and that is awesome :-) And it also sounds like you are both having a wicked time. Keep up the blogs - I love living vicariously through you.
Take care of each other!

Hey guys
The flat looks really nice - well done! :-)
Not much news from NZ - who would be a Warriors supporter huh? :-)
The guys went out on Sat nite - but I've had a yucky tummy so passed - I'll let them fill ya in on their night - sounds like I missed a good one tho.
I went to Rotorua last week for work - didn't lose my camera or anything (heehee) but then I didn't do much partying either :-( I was a real waste of a free bar tab! Man the sulphur smell was out in force - there's one thing about NZ I'm sure you don't miss!!
I'm heading home this long weekend - so I promise to sit down and put some photos and discs together for ya Kimmy. Promise!! Then you'll get mail at your new address! Yay!
Good luck with the job hunting babe.
Missing ya both heaps and heaps.
Love and Kimmy kisses...
Anna :-) xxx ooo
Hi Guys! Your flat sounds awesome, is nice to have a "home" rather than a hostel bed. Matty, we got your postcard, thanks :) Also Kim, I think Trudie wanted to get hold of you (re: job?)- hopefully I have given her the right address. Take care you two!! keep up the great photos.
Love Rita and Clint
Hey Kimmy and Matt
So pleased to hear that you are nice and settled into your new flat - brings back memories of us settling into London. Good luck with the job hunt Kimmy - stay positive and show your gorgeous smile and you will have no problems! Can't wait for the next update!
Love and hugs
Leah and Blake

kim get a job and stop spending your days going from the pub to the internet and then back to the pub, then home to throw up and then back to the pub cos you got room for more!!
Thanks Ray, but i think that besides the job factor you are talking about yourself ;) hehe. I don't have a job so can't afford to go out all the time. But that time will come!
