Busy times in Diary
Yesterday I arranged a whole bunch of stuff, now me and Harrison have lots of adventures planned! Yesterday and today was the end of this session of feeding Sammie the cat as I’m having to do mor...
So, me and Dave are in Cumbria at the moment, staying at my parents’ house. They aren’t here, they are in Spain for five weeks and said we could come and stay in the house. It’s very strange stay...
What to do? in Diary
I’ve had blogs on loads of different websites and always feel like I’m being forced to move house and make new friends every time one of them closes down. I have been on LiveJournal for 12 years ...
2017 survey in Diary
Last year’s survey was all doom and gloom, understandably; it’s in my “on this day” to the right of the page if you want to compare! This year’s one is SO much better :o) [1] What did you do in 2...
Mam and Dad arrived on Friday evening and we just stayed in, having a few drinks and chatting. I had a roller derby game in the morning so didn’t want to get too drunk or have a late night. Satu...
It's Really Happening in Transition
I had a call from my solicitor yesterday. Contracts have exchanged! Completion is taking place on Friday! I can hardly believe it’s finally happening. I’ve booked my last half day of annual leave...
Weight Loss tracker in Fitness and Exercise
I’ve been doing the 5:2 diet for six weeks now and here are my stats. I lost weight in the first four weeks but I don’t seem to have lost anything at all for the last two weeks. I wish I had more...
Possible good news? in Diary
I had a phone call from the estate agent earlier. They said they’ve spoken to my buyer (FINALLY!) and he has only just got back from holiday! I knew he was going away on 17th October but didn’t r...
House Update...Or Not in Diary
Dear Michelle, I am sorry for the delay in replying. I wanted to wait another week to give them chance to finalise on this matter. I have today sent an email to the Purchaser’s solicitor advising...
Random Nothing Update in Diary
I’ve seen a lot of people doing NoJoMo, but haven’t seen any challenges like there used to be at OD. I’m assuming there isn’t such a thing over here? I finally submitted my tax return last night....
Just Do It in Diary
We’ve all decided we’re going to do the half marathon. I’m probably going to walk most of it, I’ll be aiming for about four hours. OK, I’ll be aiming just to finish the bloody thing, but it’ll be...
Question for fitness people in Diary
So I was kind of co-erced into entering a team relay race at work. We were told the total distance is a half marathon and we each run about three miles each. They were desperate for people to tak...
Holiday - Day one and two in Diary

House Stuff Continued in Transition

General Update in Transition
House Update The house sale is still going ahead so far. Almost four weeks and the buyer hasn’t pulled out, which I keep expecting to happen as an eternal pessimist. Myself, Annette and Jim have...
This could be exciting in Transition
The estate agent have just called me and said they’ve had an offer on the house and the man is all ready to go with the cash, paperwork and everything. I’ve told them I would accept it but, unfor...
Pains and bikinis in Diary
I have a house viewing today and one tomorrow. I’m going to accept £150k if anyone offers it. Another reason I want rid of it is that everybody in the world feels the need to ask me every day if ...
Rage in Transition
I can’t describe how angry I am right now. I had an offer on the house, accepted it, the people went into the estate agents with their ID and mortgage details, excited to move in as they have alr...
I’m going to try and write a bit about Amsterdam before we have a busy bank holiday weekend! Tonight we’re just going to chill with some beers. Tomorrow, Dave is driving us up to Leeds to meet hi...

The Wedding That Wasn't in Diary
I have a lot to write about, I probably won’t fit it all into one entry. Friday 28th April was supposed to mine and Jay’s wedding. My parents and sister came down the night before and stayed the...
Budgie, and The Wedding That Wasn't. in Diary
My budgie is sick :o( I noticed on Monday his chest was all swollen. When I felt it, it was very soft. A quick Google search suggested his crop was fulled and blocked. So, off to the vet we went ...

Yesterday I decided to move the sofabed downstairs as I’ve had a few people on Freecycle interested in taking it so I wanted it to be ready. I quickly regretted trying to do that on my own. It go...
