on the move

we're packed... we'll fairly well packed, completely surrounded by boxes and absolutely knackered. We exchanged contracts today and complete tomorrow. Then there'll be no phone line for 11 days..... aaaargh how am I going to cope.

Normal service to be resumed at some point.....

new beginnings...

we;; its a time for out with the odl and in with the new. We still haven't exchanged but things are all set for exchanging on Tues and completing on Wed (so fingers crossed all the way). After a couple of days of swearing about the buyers and their slack solicitor, we finally got some movement,although their cheque isn't cleared until Tues hence the delay. all of which meant that our money had to be paid via CHAPS at additional cost which is really annoying as we have been ready to pay it for weeks and been asking how to get it done. Given that it is coming from 3 accounts that has meant 3 charges which we didn't need to incur (plus a bit of stress when i couldn't find my bank card!) but I guess its s drop in the ocean of moving charges.

So we've been packing, wrapping, clearing and laughing at the utter crap we have accumulated over the years.

I will be sad leaving this house as it has been a great place to live, but I am really excited about the next step in life and can't wait to set up a home that is ours, and start the next chapter.

house frustrations

the people buying our house are arses.

that is my highly considered thoughts on the situation. They have kept us hanging around now for over 2 weeks, are trying to drag it out even longer and are not even answering the phonecalls of their own solicitor or our estate agent.

I don't think this is a fundamental problem, jsut them being idiots about the moving date (for F***S sake they are not even moving, their son is packing a bag and walking round the corner!!!). but at present I am planning on taking all the lighbulbs and curtain rails and if I could remove the radiators I would.

Tossers.

(I feel a little better now :-) )

Watched Michael Mcintyre's DVD on Friday night, bloody funny. the guy is great at just pointing out things in day to day life that are ridiculous. Not rude, or offensive, or sexist (much!) - just funny! He made me laugh talking about the futility of being shown to your seat when you have a buffet breakfast in hotels, that drives me nuts. The other one that stuck out was the fact that you only EVER wake up a woman from her lie in for one of 2 things, the death of a celebrity or if its snowing. Paul seemed to agree with that one....

Lovely day for a wedding yesterday, the sun was shining, the groom didn't look too nervous, the bride looked absolutely stunning and everyone had a great day. Today I am bloody knackered!

american idol

I tend to watch american idol on a sat morning and often listen to the first few minutes of the song and then fast forward. But I have to say, I've noticed that the 2 people I can't seem to press the fast forward on are Danny and Kris. Maybe that's the point....
