SO I have this other Google Chrome (R)! open behind this one. And it has 22 (twenty-two) tabs open. I recognise a few of them, see if you can guess what is going on in our life; Northwood, Zoopla, Rightmove, Mullie, YHA, AA Routefinder, Hotel Chocolat. OK, the last one is a bit of a curve ball, but mostly, we are looking to relocate. We live in a rented two bed that we have grown out of, we moved here as a pair of adults and an 18 month old William and an in utero Zachary (due in five months.) We are now a five years older pair of adults, a 6 year old William, a four year old Zachary and a six month old Theodore. There has been 20 years of life lived under this roof by our little clan. YEAH, anyway, back to the point. We're moving. And that involved lots and lots and LOTS of things to do. There is packing and boxes and moving things (thanks to a friend for a spare room loan) and more packing and some organising and tidying the garage to fit in piles of all the reorganised things. And writing on boxes and labelling boxes and deciding where they need to go when we land in our new property and where that's going to be we can only hope at the moment. AND then the laptop keyboard broke. Like this... he quick rown fox jumped over eqrtwhe lazy do. TGB not firing on all cylinders. So contacting lettings agents and having serious discussions with them via email is so much slightly harder when everyeqtwhin you ype could suddenly urn eqrtwo a ieqw of a muddle! By way of example. PLUS of course we are not doing this whole thing naked, so there's still laundry to wash and dry and tidy and fold and put away. And the washing up and the cooking and playing games and reading stories and going to work and... you know, life. WE'VE been talking about moving since we landed here in 2011. Seems a long long time ago. And now, suddenly, we've actually taken the plunge. And we have to make it all happen, and actually DO the thing we've been threatening for so long. We're not moving far, for now. No promises peeps, but for now we will stay around here. But the notice-handing-in-thing gives us this moment when... "Something's happening Reg, something's actually happening!" |
