Karmacat: To Infinity And Beyond!

Good luck with the Bingo and MBs .
Why couldn't you sleep last night?
If you're worried about anything is there anything we can help with?

Thank you Taxi! To be honest, I think its partly a menopausal thing, and partly a having-too-much energy thing. I distinctly remember that when I first started waking up (about 3am?) I was having lots of little happy dreams, I remember noticing it - I don't worry in the sense of staying awake in bed - if I'm worried, I tend not to go to bed at all, and end up staring at the fire or the tv or the computer or whatever. I do remember thinking it was odd that I was so happy underneath, but there's no use denying it :D

Maybe my reptile brain thinks I'm retired? Maybe its a token of *how* much I want to leave this house? Speaking of which, I was looking at my property !!!!!! just now, its the same bungalow that was on before, down £10k in price:

Sorry thats so long. But you can see in the first photo of the plot - its the house at the top of the picture. The house at the bottom of the picture has sold the end of its garden, which is why *my* bungalow has a long driveway. So although its in such a central area, its very quiet. I love it. Its a fraction too large for me - it has three toilets, for heaven's sake! but it is lovely.

I've been doing some stuff to mine today - finishing preparing that plaster in the kitchen, finally planted out a little mint plant I bought when Wol came down last, and cut back a bit more foliage by the wall thats leaning. I'll never get done what I want to get done before the estate agents get here, but I'll give it a shot. The spider-crap has mostly gone, too....

OOh Reptile Brain, did a seminar on that once...interesting stuff.

Shame about the spider crap, i was looking forward to piccies of golden cobwebs..i could wax lyrical and put a reference to Rapunzel in there somewhere.

House looks good and the EPC graph is good too. Nice clean lines, easy to manage garden and quiet location - just don't like the price I have a five bedroom 3 bathroom plus extra loo 3 storey detached house large garage and large garden nice location sea and castle view and it hasn't been valued for that amount - the north south divide is as great as ever!

No golden cobwebs 'ere, I'm afraid. guv - more like dusty wafts, and the odd piece of dead body that I hadn't noticed previously

DT - good grief, is all I can say to the pricing diff - my mum's house is the same as mine, more or less, and is two thirds of the price - but thats all, not the massive difference you're describing - after all this one is really nice, but its not mega - the layout's quirky because its the back of a garden and an awkward shape because of it, nothing else. Although I love it, the thought of looking after it makes me a bit queasy - I'd rather have a smaller, more standard house - still detached, if at all possible - there are some a couple of hundred yards from this one that are a hundred grand less but that will still be just about out of my range if I don't get my act together and get another form of income.

Haven't done much this evening, tired and needed to just chill.- at the mo, I'm too tired to wash the dishes, I might have a *really* early night. I did manage to check the matched bet I did - it all worked, and I lost at the bookie, so I hve to watch for the free bet coming in, and whack it onto something really fast - it runs out before the end of next week.

Thats all, she wrote..... sleep well, all.


EDIT - I forgot - I got a free bottle of red wine (for Christmas) yesterday - I was in the underwear department at M&S, and they asked me if I'd like a credit card, with a free bottle of wine or box of chocs, so I said yes please. Oddly, they never mentioned the chocolates afer that part of me is very tempted to use the card to pay off the N Rock loan in full, and use that 10 months interest free to whack it down. I wonder......

Morning all ..... I have a pretty long list of stuff to do, and didn't want to get started on ANY of it - then I realised I'd been up for an hour and running about, and hadn't had anything to eat. Screeched to a halt and had porridge, now waiting for it to kick in so I can get going, and I'll post a list later.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Ooh well done on the free wine..

What's a reptile brain?

Karmacat

Its the earliest bit of our brains - this is McGill University in Canada - http://thebrain.mcgill.ca/flash/d/d_05/d_05_cr/d_05_cr_her/d_05_cr_her.html - with lots of functions (just like Microsoft, ha!) evolution has added on top of previous layers, and not taken anything anyway. So we start off in the womb like little reptiles, then become mammals, and so it goes on .............:)

I just had an email to buy one of my expensive books on Amazon - £30 plus shipping costs - he'll pay via paypal. Its going to Canada, sounds all but certain! Hurray! I'm going to make that £2k by December, I think - trouble is, while I was researching the postage, I missed a trade, and I *swore* to myself I wouldn't let myself get distracted any more. Rats.

Just off to your diary to check how you're doing, will sit with you after I've boiled the kettle....

Oh I see! I think mine feels like a reptile this morning :rotfl:
