.... random rants and rambles. no agenda. yet.

I haven't been able to post this for 3 days because - for once - I didn't know what to say. I still don't really know, but I'll have a go anyway..!

On Saturday, me, C and Ce went to look at the Perfect House and the Triangle House as planned. To cut a long story short, we decided that the Triangle House was cool but not quite right for several reasons, so we went back to the Perfect House, and shook hands with The Man in his kitchen after he agreed to accept our offer.

Eeeeeeeeeek!

So that means the Perfect House could be ours in a few weeks time, as long as all the solicitory things and the surveys go OK, and The Man or the Very Nice Young Couple don't change their minds about anything!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

Is it normal to sell a house one day and then buy a new one three days later?! I don't really care! The scariest part is that we have to move as quickly as possible, so we might be there like, next month.

NEXT MONTH?! Gulp.

So anyway, after all this happened we were in a state of shock and like "OMG!" and whatever. We couldn't quite believe it, so decided to do something to make us feel like we were doing something, if that makes sense... so we decided to clear out the garage to make way for moving boxes and whatever else that's going to come with us as we up sticks and move to the place with a hard-to-spell-name.

If you've ever seen our garage, you'll know that it's full of old junk, but we don't really want to take loads of old junk with us so we decided to be ruthless and sorted things out for a couple of hours. It was... therapeutic. When doing so, we found so much crap to keep, recycle and Freecycle, including the wigs that have taken over my life.

I was completely gobsmacked by the amount of emails I got from enthusiastic Freecyclers who like dressing up for charity / can give wigs a good home / think their son is the next Eddie Izzard (yes, really)... in the space of a few minutes, I was suddenly Preston's premier wig woman, having to keep telling more and more people I was very sorry but the wigs had GONE several hours ago to the first mad woman who claimed them, and a few other things too. What is it with wigs, and why does everyone want one? Did I miss something?!

Jeesh. And that was all in the middle of solicitory, financial, complicated moving-type whatever that goes on too... not to mention my job...!

So anyway, Preston's wig woman and her partner and their dog are HOPEFULLY moving to the-place-that-is-hard-to-spell very soon. Keep your fingers crossed for us please!!
