Definition of irony

Cancel the removals people and receive phonecall two minutes later to tell us that the building work is complete. If nothing else goes wrong, we should exchange this avo--guess who was addicted to Australian soaps as a teen?--and complete later today or more likely Monday.

Oh well. Even if we don't manage to slot back in with the movers, we can go with another company for £108 extra, which I can only assume is for the sheer joy of seeing movers wearing cheerful bright red uniforms.

I think I'll go and have some ice-cream while I wait for the solicitor.

Also, look what Dave sent me!



Silk flowers and some "blooms" made from pairs of baby socks and a teeny-tiny hat. It's absolutely gorgeous :D

And after all this stress...

Dave and I now own a house!!!

How fucking cool/scary is that? I can now look forward to the move on Monday and then some sort of housewarming party. I figure I can supply plenty of booze since I haven't been drinking--unpacking one box gets you one glass of wine....

I cannot believe that I own a house. Wow.
