October?
Did we have one?
Yes, I have been significantly slack at posting yet again - though there should be light at the end of the tunnel as my mum is getting me a (secondhand) laptop for my birthday/christmas! Yay!!! I will be back in business in the new year for sure! And determined to have a more exciting year next year! (Yes ATM I think AG's prediction may be starting to take effect!)
So, in the missing month of October, plus the start of Nov, the following highlights have occurred:
My baby sister's 23rd birthday (yes, it is sickening!)
A really great Rod Stewart and Queet tribute night with Lily, Gerii, Ava and Meg
Some more musical enjoyment at a Seth Lakeman concert (check him out - I had never heard of him before but he was great)
My dad's 68th birthday
Completely drenched Halloween cum Fireworks night at The Bride's
Typical crap friendness by late posting of ATM's card and pressie for her 37th birthday (hahaha, no hiding the truth here ATM!)
A whole week of peace and quiet when X went away with the school
Having to pay for the week of peace and quiet when X was poorly and had to miss Disco's birthday meal at Moroccan restaurant
And that's about it!
See you soon.... hopefully!

Whoosh...!
Oh.
My.
God.
How, in heaven's name has it been TWO MONTHS since I posted?!!
Where oh where did that time go?!!
Seriously. That cannot be right!
The sad thing... 2 months since I posted and still absolutely nothing of any interest at all to report! Jesus, I need to get a life. Blogging without one is a tad depressing!!
Talking of blogging, which, after all is the whole point of this, erm, blog! I really, really, really must check up on you all. It seems like such a daunting task now I realise it's probably getting on for 3 months since I last updated myself on your (far more interesting than mine I'm sure) lives.
The main problem is pc access, which has led to laziness on my part and the ensuing 'out of the loop/out of the habit' nature of blogging. (That and nothing much to write about that I'm sure anybody would be interested in!) We are all settled with our pc/internet etc, but the pc is now in Y's bedroom - which although accessible is not really
a) suitable
b) enjoyable
c) always available!
Result - one crappy complex blogger!
I am hoping to get a laptop soon, so that I can get back to blogging/reading blogs in front of the telly of an evening - a most enjoyable experience I have to say! Rather than sitting in the depths of "the batcave" (as Y's new dark teenage room has affectionately been named) with a 15 year old huffing over my shoulder. Perhaps Santa will be kind, or I will win the lottery to speed it up. Perhaps I should run a charity blogger auction to raise the funds, lol. A kind of bid for secrets thing, rather than me selling off poor, defenceless, random bloggers, lol. Wonder what all of you bloggers would want from me...
Anyhoo...! Just checking in to say thank you all for all your support through the hell of buying and moving and to say "hey". I am still alive! Yay!! I still have no interesting and fabulous life! Boo!! And even less money! Double boo!! Will be back much sooner than 2 months time (seriously, where the fuck did that go!), I promise!

I Remember You
"I remember you, you're the one who made my dreams come true, a few kisses ago
I remember you, you're the one who said I love you too, I do, didn't you know?
I remember too a distant bell, and stars that fell like rain out of the blue
When my life is through and the angels ask me to recall the thrill of them all
Then I shall tell them, I remember you."
Thank you Diana.

Missed me?
Well, I finally moved on 29th June! Yay!!! Spent 3 weeks with no telly, 3 and 1/2 weeks with no pc, and still have no (plumbed in) washing machine! Other than that, we are pretty much up and running :-) Still have lots of bits to do, but more than sorted really. Pictures will be posted soon!
As you can imagine, with no pc access I am just so behind in the world of electronic communications. My main email inbox (which is used for freecycle!), currently has 1674 emails waiting to be deleted! Most of them will be deletable, but still need to check nothing important in there. I dare not even check my google account to see how many posts you bloggers have managed in the last 4-6weeks!
So, just thought I'd pop in and say hello. Not much else been going on but moving I'm afraid, but I'll have to think back and update properly. Alas, for now... ciao!

Close call
Just a quickie to say thank you all for your support and kind words. I have been so stressed that I haven't even being on the pc!
Anyway, you will all be delighted (though not as much as me though!) to know that I FINALLY exchanged and completed on Tuesday, the last day of my mortgage offer!!!
Will be back to check in soon, I'm off to paint... :-)

Maybe not
Well exchange didn't happen! Mortgage lenders suddenly came up with a shopping list of near impossible demands, and at this point (considering my mortgage offer runs out on Tues!) it looks like the whole thing is going Pete Tong.
I'm more than a little frustrated, and a few tears have been shed!
