Saturday 22nd August, 2009

Took Korin to work, shopped - home, walked dog, had lunch started on the dining room. All boxed up and table down and sweated buckets !

Cooked a dinner, collected Korin, took Korin to Tamworth, came home and did my treatment room, all ready and boxed up now.

tomorrow I have to do all paperwork = quite a bit to do, wish I'd done it today now ! - Will pack up my bedroom and Korin and Keir and Olivia doing theirs and finish packing up the rest of the other rooms. Monday night will have to pack up the kitchen - OH and I defrosed my chest freezer today too - and washed the dishes tonight - all whilst my son and his girlfriend sat and watched TV...............................things have to change around here when we've moved.

20th August, 2009 - EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS

My 32nd Wedding Anniversary today - 32 whole years, how quickly has that time gone by. Officially we don't own this house anymore................................how very sad is that. I've loved this house, but it's a lot of cleaning. I am tired. I am fed up cleaning this house. A week at work and it looks like a bomb has gone off - KIDS do nothing all week. So tomorrow I have loads of paperwork to do for the move - arrange the removals for Tuesday NOT Monday. Ann my boss point blank said I couldn't have Monday off because SHITBAG (and there is NO other word for that woman I work with) said she couldn't cover my Monday because she's playing golf. I always cover her Friday's - well maybe it's time that I can't.

I'm fed up being nice. I am playing her at her own game again now - she is a pathetic waste of space.

So Tuesday is fast approaching have so so much to do, hope I am ready.

Goodbye house - hello new life with money - I hope.

19th August, 2009

Contract Exchange today (hopefully) - bittersweet, I could sit and cry - I've loved it here. Got to go to work, going in late, really feel I can't be bothered with anything. Moving on Monday to a rented place which is real nice, but NOT my home.

Bought house ready in December - we believe - so another move to look forward to. Excellent huh.

Saturday 8th August, 2009

Where has this week gone - all we have done is sort stuff out and go to the tip and box a few things up. STILL have loads to do, but we have definitely broken the back of it all, and our own backs to the bargain too.

So very worn out. Just hope that we can move in two weeks time - I really need to move in two weeks time ! I need to sit and rest at night, not clean, tidy out, box up, bag up, go to tip, clean up and start all over agian. I vow that my next house WILL not get into such a mess. I think because this house is big you didn't notice the 'extra' stuff everywhere. In a smaller house we will have to get rid of stuff as and when - HOPEFULLY anyway.

Probably gained half a stone this week too with all the extra's we've eaten !

Monday 4th August, 2009

I am so tired. I am worn out. I am an emotional wreck. Everyone keeps asking for money - money that we really don't have spare ! All I can think of is that within a few weeks we will be in this NICE rented place which is similar to the house we are buying and a few weeks further on than that we shall be in our own new house - HOPE, PRAY, that nothing goes wrong. I don't think my mind would cope with any more disappointments and upset. fI have mentally moved out - I don't mind leaving here, I just wish it had all happended and we were settled.

Bag after bag after bag after bag for the tip and unbelieveably the tip wasn't open today - 3 bed's have to go in the tip too - book cases and bag after bag after bag. Cleared Keirs rooms today and there was just so much rubbish - wish he could have come and sorted the stuff himself - but he didn't. Have asked Claire if we can put his bike in her garage as Keir only wants to come back the day before starting college - Bank Holiday Monday!

This is our week holiday, we should have been in Devon - God only knows what we would have done it we had gone away - there is just SO much to do ! We are really and truly worn out.
