    Definately not an NSD today.
    Having said that won't actually be spending much.

    A day of things getting done...no plodding Beanie.

    Contracts exchanged.
    Removal company lined up.
    O/D extended to get me through the next month.

    Too tired for sign tonight so going to do myself a proper list and sort stuff out for next weekend. Need to find the allen keys and check out storage places.

    So was planning on having an NSD yesterday...until I forgot to take my lunch with me! Yesterday was SUCH a good day. British Gas turned up at one of the sites I was to get gas connected to, but as they told me 'We don't gaurantee that the engineers that turn up on site will have the telephone number you provided or will use the number you have provided'. Hence British Gas went to the site, realised there was nobody at the site (because we're not telepathic) and then left the site. They did very kindly ring us later to tell us that they'd been on site and nobody was on site...and then told us they could rearrange for 6-8 weeks :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    So not so much 'Looking after my world' as 'Living on their own planet'.

    After that and negotiating the price of a site and my boss ignoring my comments...'Out of my comfort zone...out of my comfort zone....out of my comfort zone' :eek::eek:

    (He obviously has more faith in my abilities than me) I decided the stress of the above and the week of working up to a house contract exchange had taken its toll and sent a text to my cousin requesting attendance to her house and the local hostelry. I am still here and it's been a nice break.

    Anyway I'd better get on with sorting out storage - todays job.

    Tomorrow we wash plastic boxes and prepare for next weekends packing and dismantling! Tomorrow possible NSD provided I have enough petrol!!
