Ppfsssshh

It's no good - I've been in a playing mood today but no-one really took the bait - no Merkin today and Che only played for a short while.

I got in touch with my mortgage advisor as soon as I got home from work and we have a meeting setup for Friday morning. I think it's looking good even with the pay cut so I'm quietly confident this house will be mine. I also got a call from the vendor saying that they were expecting another couple to view in the afternoon but if I am commited they would put it off and take the house of the market. The house is now in a SSTC state. I'm feeling good.

The only problem I can see from here is physical cash up front. The deposit is covered so I'm not worried about that but I now have to consider things like legal fees, surveyor fees and furniture costs!! It's going to be tight but I think I'll be ok - the house doesn't need any work so at least that's something I don't need to worry about.

I have to admit that after my unfulfilled playfulness I'm feeling a bit floored and flawed - it'll pass - it's just the legacy of boredom kicking in. I got a mail from the friend who has Hep C - she seems to be feeling better in herself and that, in turn, makes me feel better. It's tough on us both (tougher on her though) because we are so far apart and won't be seeing each other for a long time!! These are the pitfalls of any human relationship I guess.

Back, rested and back to work... Bummer... Enough of the moaning already!! I have just spent one of the most amazing weeks of my life with some of the most special people I know and I'm riding high because of it. So what have I been up to? Funny you should ask... I got tattooed. It's been a long time coming (somewhere around 15 years) but I finally found something that I would be happy spending the rest of my life with. I had often thought about the usual stuff, things like band names or other pop culture icons that would instantly tell people who I was or maybe even something a little out of the ordinary. At one point I had the idea of combining the lot and having a barcode tattoo which would actually be the barcode of my favourite album. The problem there is that opinions change as does technology, barcodes will become obsolete and I would be left with the equivalent of a tattoo that reads two-and-sixpence!! Inspired by the lovely Ms Hamstera I went to a tattoo pa...

Very short and sweet today but there is another good reason. This will be my last entry until I have moved to the new house and got myself sorted out. Thankfully not very much has happened but I feel like I've accomplished quite a lot. I have organised a moving posse for Tuesday which includes (drumroll) The Colonel!! He is taking time out to come up from Exeter just to see me and to help me move - what a guy. Alex is going to borrow a big van from his Dad and everyone else has offered to muck in for the night. Looks like everything is going to go swimmingly. I will be back on Wednesday (assuming the installation goes through without a hitch) so I'll blog-it-up big then. Cheers to you all and BIG LOVE. Leave me some comments - I'm beginning to feel unloved Today's Word: CULMINATION Today's Mood: Bowl of Cherries... Plate of Oysters... Nuff said

Hmmm... I have to admit that this internet absence thing is becoming weirder by the minute. I haven't dropped it completely like I did a while ago and I have left myself available to some people. It seems that one of those people (who I will refer to as Dave even though it is not her real name) has been "found out". She has/had two blogs - a weebl blog and a personal blog - which I read on a regular basis but they were found by her boss and now she is facing problems because of them. The trouble is that her boss thinks that they over-stepped the mark on a few occasions (especially when she was talking about colleagues and taking "sickies") so they have now been removed. It's a real shame because it has led me to think about what I am writing and how it could effect other people. In all honesty I don't think there is anything that I have written that I would not admit to someone face-to-face, and I'm sure that "Dave's" would say...
