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

Why does everything always take so long!?

After being told by our solicitor that the contract for the new house should be with us at the beginning of this week, we have just found out that we should get it tomorrow. Hello! As far as I am aware, Thursday is at the end of the week. Yes, I know, it's only a day or two later than anticipated, but it's really annoying how the goalposts keep moving further and and further away, and I am starting to think that we'll be lucky if we move before Christmas.

Inside, I know I am just being an impatient drama queen and should probably calm down and take a deep breath and recognise how this is normal, and buying a house is meant to take 2 or 3 months anyway. It just seems to be taking longer because we work from home so much, and this house isn' t quite big enough.

Whatever. At least I have a roof over my head - many people don't.

OK *breathes deeply* onto other things; this game drove me mad for several days* before I managed to finish it last night, much to C's (and my) relief! Well worth playing, though please note; if you save your game, you might end up putting in the wrong number, thus resuming play at a completely different stage like I did, and have to start again(!)

* not ALL DAY, just a few minutes of an evening, you understand.

Finally, it is now my turn to be annoying and announce that the result of the caption competition will be announced on Friday, because Harry is busy and doesn't have time to judge the entries until then. So, if you haven't entered yet, now's the time! And IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ENTERED, YOU AREN'T ALLOWED TO ENTER AGAIN!
