GOOD - My house sale goes through on Friday
BAD – Due to the evil solicitors who realised they had made an even bigger error today, I have toclear out two sheds and help Mr B move out on Friday, when I should be relaxing and cooking a family meal for my Auntie Frieda and cousin Harriet who are arriving from Plymouth and Doha respectively.
GOOD – I got my new google phone today.
BAD – No one seems to be able to phone me on it. I might be able to receive calls in the morning, otherwise I have to phone them and say “arghhhhhhhhhh.”
GOOD – My fabulous mate Ju has arrived from NZ and is here for the next 2 weeks.
BAD – I have such a mad weekend what with house moving, Miss E being in 4 school shows, visiting relatives and a ton of jobs, that I’m not even sure if I will get to see her before Monday. That is just WRONG as I haven’t seen her for about 2 years.
GOOD - Meeting some fab blogging friends at Drayton Manor Park on Sunday, driving there in my new car, with Rosie and IJ and Miss M and hoping for a fab day.
BAD – I may be so kn*ckered I go the wrong way and we end up at Tamworth Services instead. I may be so flustered by the time we get there that my cheeks will be bright red, my hair will be sticky and yucky due to stress related glowing, and I may get mistaken for the back end of a baboon and shoved in with the scary monkeys before Miss M can say ‘Athlete’s Foot’. Then when they finally release me it will probably be time to go home and I will have missed all the fun and frolics in Thomas Land.
UGLY – The above description of a sweaty, red faced, sunkissed Ms Beaufoix, and the fact that at some time next week, even though I achieved my Recycle Week goal and fulfilled my pledge, I will be allowing Miss M to beautify my face in her own unique style as I was daft enough to tell her about it. Sighhhhhhh.
P.s. To see how everyone else got on with their pledges pop over and see the gorgeous Almost Mrs Average for her Recycle Week Carnival. Go on, you know you want to.

OOohhh. You sound even busier than me! Good luck with all that. I will have my fingers crossed for you!

I flatly refuse to go to Tamworth Services.

I knew when I read the title, that a small child and makeup would be involved. Can not wait for the result! Well done for fulfilling your pledge though – I failed mine miserably!! Crikey you sound busy…take a few deep breaths and you’ll get through it. And I want to hear all about the blogging get-together too. Have fun xxx

Brilliant post! I do hope everything goes well with the move and that you have a jolly time with your friends.
I had to clear my shed before I moved once. Git-chops refused to help because I had slighted him in some way (and he was a lazy bleep), so I had to do it all on my own. I hope you have a better experience x

Well it will save you having to wear a carnation, or hold an umbrella.

Phew! I’m exhausted just reading about it! Looking forward to the face painting – I mean beauty make-up thingy…

Hey, what’s bad for some is good for others, take this for example: “BAD – I may be so kn*ckered I go the wrong way and we end up at Tamworth Services instead.” Given that I live just 45 miles south of the Tamworth Services Club, I’d at least get to see your new car!

Okay, I ‘m just worn out from all that…how bout have a lydown before you do anything else Jo…I can imagine how tired you must be!

Deep breath! It will all be over soon. I hope! Need to sneak a bottle of wine in there somewhere.

Oh the old make sure the list of what’s in it is inclusive of whatever .. my sister the nice lawyer triple checked (and forced me to do the same) the listing we signed for the realtor to post online .. she, sis, said to me: make sure you list everything or we’ll be forced to empty it out ourselves at our own expense … damn now I have to tell her she did good….

Oh hun, that is a lot of both mixed together! Hope all the nuttiness with the solictors is over with soon so you can enjoy life properly again!

Always something to accompany the good, and it’s usually either bad or ugly. But I’m sure you looked just lovely.
