16 days and counting ...

by SketchWeasel @ Wednesday, Jun. 28, 2006 - 21:01:35

Ok it's been a while - I've been a bit lazy and depressed for the last few weeks, also had some bizarre virus that has triggered off my fibromyalgia (again)
Thankfully the red hot pokers in the heels have dissapated!

There are 16 days before we have to leave the 'funny'farm and we are still without our housey! We are waiting now for the Cheltenham and Gloucestershire building society to read an f'ing mining report.

We paid the deposit, we signed the contracts, Mr & ex Mrs Vendor have signed all their paperwork .... Hurrah!

Just waiting for some daft bugger to get off their arse to read a document and say OK.

This week I have been mostly taking part in 'urban carpet sobbing' (see The Travelling Leunig for an explanation)
I've done a lot of packing in preparation for the move - only 20 tesco crates full of books - not many really - oh and that's in the sitting room, haven't packed the books in the bedroom or other parts of the house yet.

When I left home many years ago I had over a thousand books, managed to get rid of most of them by the time we moved here, except ... We bought more! Whoops!!

Also this week I have been performing first aid on the daughter's rabbit. Not a pleasant task by anyones standards.
The damn thing managed to get a seed stuck through the skin and a pus ball grew around it, so guess what - I had to squeeze the pus and seed out ... Nasty!!

So what has everyone else been up to?

Tell me your grossest moment ....


 
 

Power Cuts ...

by SketchWeasel @ Wednesday, Jun. 07, 2006 - 14:18:44

Oh well guess I'll try to write me blog again - wrote loads last night, was chatting with Dead Head's Bird too .. and bugger me there was a powercut ... came on .. went off .. came on .. went off and did so repetitively for the next two and a half hours. So I managed to get an early night with Mr S W ... f'nurk!

But anyway back to the blog .. I wrote loads last night and it all got lost .. bugger, now can't remember what I said ...

Oh yeah - it was the 6th of the 6th 2006 yesterday and I was saying that I'd had a pretty good day (until the power cut that is!)

Well I'm actively looking for a new job - don't know what I'll end up doing but hopefully something that pays well!

I was doing my cv the other day and it surprised me just how much training I have actually done over the last few years.

Wish I knew what was happening about the house - last we heard the solicitors were refering back to mortgage company that the searches have thrown up a mine shaft in a neighbouring garden. Grr ... hopefully they'll still let us have the house because there have been other houses built more recently a lot nearer to the mine shaft.

Anyway realised that I'm completely knackered so going to have a quick snooze before I have to start work at 4pm.

BTW - still raving about George Thorogood!

Got tickets to see Van Morrison in July at Westonbirt Arboritum .. huzzah!

Off for zzzzzz
