Stupidity and Luck
So, I looked in the tank on the ‘zed before setting off from work. Meh, I thought, just about enough to get me home and back to the petrol station on the way tomorrow. I didn’t count on the massive headwind and the boxes I’d got strapped to the back of the bike… …about 7…

Poot
So, another house that we liked has sold. I’m not as attached as I was to the house in Rudgeway (which incidentally, still shows up as ‘under offer’) – but it was a good potential. So, poot. Still, we’re working towards selling – we’ve been packing up stuff with the thought that it’ll make decorating…

My suggestion for the MPs
Look, you don’t need two houses. Well, not to own two houses. If you *want* to, and you’re paid enough then fine – that’s all hunky dory. Out of your *salary* it comes. But we, the people, shouldn’t be paying for that. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t have some accommodation in London, that’s totally…

bugs
So, the garden is looking beautiful, and apart from continued lettuce disasters (seriously, we can’t win with that darn plant) and my accidental destruction of a plant (dropped my back protector on it by accident) things appear to be growing well. It is, in fact, beautiful out there. But there is one thing causing torment.…

Merple
So, I seem to still have a cold. I think I have. Normally when I have hayfever it’s just clear gunk – at the moment it’s kinda yellow – so I’m assuming that my body’s not yet decided to be rid of the cold. Which is annoying, because on top of the cold – or…

Something for the weekend?
So, those of you in the know are aware that we spent the weekend looking at houses. Lots of them. 3 we had proper estate-agent viewings of, and we also went on a massive tour of Bristol during which we eliminated a vast number of neighbourhoods from our ‘possibilities’ list – a huge number of…

One problem
One problem with the house being a complete bloody tip (which it is, and that’s mostly my fault, because it’s full in every last corner with stuff that my mum wanted to bin that I thought ‘hey, I should e-bay that’) is that I can’t fracking find *anything*. I’m meant to be shooting shots of…

Essentially…
I have three current projects and a couple of other bits going on, the first of which is finishing the house, the second is selling vast quantities of ‘stuff’ on e-bay, and the third is DBJ. DBJ is the only one that’s enjoyable, really, and so gets more me-time than I probably should devote to…

Baby Steps
So, we’re starting to get on with the completion of the renovation of the house, and have set ourselves the onto market date of end of June. Not that we’ve got jobs or anything, but hey, what do such trifling issues have to do with moving? We’ve also started to discuss the potential issues around…

Growth
So, I’ve come off nights (yesterday) a day early because I managed to catch a cold. It’s not surprising really; they wonder why NHS sickness rates are higher than other ‘private sector’ jobs; perhaps the combination of ‘dealing with sick people’, shift working, and often working short staffed is related to that. Ironically, on the…
