life's simple pleasuresPosted on Thu 15 November 2007 at 05:03Wednesday Well, nothing new really, just more of the same. I actually did 3 days in a row at work!! Well impressed as I don’t really want to be there anymore and I have been given this year’s sick day allowance and still technically have 9.5 days to take!! But I’m working on that! As I have 6 12-hour shifts left to work, I may well develop something incredibly vague but strangely debilitating that involves a day or two off!! I can’t believe I only have 6 days left in between my shifts to pack up and get organized. But to be honest, apart from the packing, there isn’t a huge amount left to do. Thursday Well, I take that back about not much else to do…..I have spent most of today buzzing around like a blue arsed fly and have very little to show for it. But the mortgage holiday is now organized at least. We will take 3 months off from paying the mortgage and hopefully the house will be sold before that point anyway. I was stood drying my hair in the bedroom this morning when a man pulled up and started scutinising the ‘for sale’ board at the front of the house. I eventually wandered out and asked him if he would like to look round – which he did. He seemed to like it and particularly liked the gully. I haven’t heard from Bridget the estate agent about it yet but hopefully there will some outcome from that. Darren phoned me from Glasgow this morning. He sat part of the skills test yesterday and does the rest today. He seemed a bit apprehensive about the next bit so I hope with all my heart that it goes well for him. He said that if he passes this, he will definitely be coming out in the New Year. If he doesn’t pass, he won’t get the opportunity to sit it again until next August, so please Lord, let him pass!! The kittens are growing apace. I lost them yesterday. They were here in the spare room with me and the next time I looked, they had legged it. I would have loved to have seen them staggering drunkenly down the hall and under Melissa’s bed, but the exercise must have tired them out as they were sound asleep before I found them. One of my colleagues came over today and she is going to buy all the big garden pots and plants off me. Better that than leaving them here to be neglected and I can’t put them in storage so off they go the middle of next week. I’m off to Tauranga tomorrow on the Bay of Plenty Piss-up. It will be good to see Caroline again before I go and indeed, everyone else there. I’m aiming to be the forum member who has met most others at this rate. I need to be back in time to air the house for the Open Home at midday, so best not get wrecked!
