This has been my job tonight.
I’m half way there but I’ve just spent 2 hours on the phone with one of my bezzie mates in the world ever, Miss Ju. I can’t believe I’ll see her in June. It’s been about 2 years since I last saw her but she still manages to be there for me whenever I need her. Love you mate.
Yawn, so, it’s 12am and my bed is calling. Having spent the day jet washing my yard I am kna**ered and have a weird shaky right hand from having to grip the handle for 5 hours. It was worth it though as it looks fab and is no longer slippery when wet. (Isn’t that an album title???)
P.S. I’ve learnt to use my oven and read something extremely useful in the instruction manual.
Cough.
Ready?
‘WARNING: Oven gets hot when in use.’
Tee hee.

Yay for getting to see your best mate soonly! I see mine Thursday and am so stoked!
Sniggering over the instruction manual. How very disturbing.

Yeeeesh I hate living in half un-packed houses. The OCD in me comes out and I have to stay up all night unpacking absolutely everything, even though there’s nowhere to put anything.

You’ll get there soon enough. Good job you read the instruction manual – you could have had quite a shock otherwise!

it’s been 3 years my lovely.
i feel slightly guilty i kept you away from all of that unpacking!
i am so proud of you jo.
incidentally was Erik Erickson really in mansfield? He organized life into eight stages that extend from birth to death he is the very famous danish-german american developmental psychologist. what the jeepers was he doing on viking day?

Oh I would totally live in your house! a) it looks lovely, (Yeah I can’t see the mess) b) it looks smaller than mine (hence much easier to clean the mess) c) it does not have Zak in it, who is currently trying to meld himself to my body as he feels like he wants to hurl, WTF, did I ever mention I don’t do spew? dd3, TC is the one that does that stuff for mama (albeit the little cow makes me pay for it but hey it beats dealing with it!) She is currently at work!
Lets make a deal, you take the slugs AND the hurly kid and I will take your place and sort it out???? YES?????? You’re place looks so much more appealing right now!

Moving is the pits, never again (hopefully).

Just hope it gets done quicker than our places, its been almost a year since we started doing it up .
Yah on seeing your best friend again , sounds lovely
April 22nd, 2009 at 7:15 am
Will you feed me if I live there?!
(Actually, I think there’s something great about getting everything JUST where you want it – it’s the only fun part about moving!)

Two hours with a best friend on the telephone? How lovely. I haven’t done that for about ten years. I have a friend called Dominique and we used to talk really late at night, sometimes one of us would fall asleep and then wake up and carry on talking. These days she lives in Paris and we skype.

Kim my lovely, have a brilliant day with your friend. Hugs.
More than Just Another, the thing is, I already unpacked it all once, then I had to pick it up again for the painter. It was really quite distressing.
Maternal Tales, it could have even been dangerous. ;D
Ju, 3 YEARS!!! Blimey. And I think it might have been a different Erik Erikson…unless that one also worked with goats.
Karisma, ohhhhh, you have a poorly kid. Hope he gets better soon. (I don’t want him in his current state though.
)
CJ thanks lovely. I’m aiming to get to bed before 1am tonight. Fingers crossed.
SingleParentDad, I agree, although I haver to admit I love finding places for stuff and making a place all homely. I’m currently renting so chances are I may buy one day which might mean a move, but maybe I’ll just have to convince my landlady to sell me this one??
Laura I can’t wait. And I bet yours will be amazing when it’s done. What a feeling that will be.
Sybil of course I would feed you hon. You can come and stay any time. x
Kate I love that you fell asleep and then woke up and kept going you mad woman.
Skype is brilliant isn’t it? I have another friend in NZ not far from Ju. My mate Dez. When we last skyped she even showed me her insect bites. Hee hee.

Oven gets hot when in use. What can I say?

HA! Slippery When Wet; Bon Jovi! I’m sure it is…or is it Europe? Sure it’s Bon Jovi. I had a lawn turfed today…it looks lovely, like a cricket pitch; now I have to spend the ext two weeks yelling at the kids to stay off whilst it takes root..hmmm could be tricky. Try to avoid ovens; I keep nearly destroying ours and one day I will succeed! Mwahahahah!!
