Awake and up all night

I read that fully expecting you to say more akin to an old electric tin opener!!!  milk float makes much more sense.

Ooh a recent discussion on the stock up for three days for emergencies scenario had me musing on all the different sorts of situations, both unavoidable and caused. 

Despite or because of our modern tech,  it seems a 12 year old in their bedroom anywhere in the world can banjax us just by wiping out supermarket freezer programs etc.

Right Shimmers, I'm back but had better not make it a late one as another busy day tomorrow. 

So after my successful bringing the show forward we met Sophie at the flat and she let us in. It has indeed not been looked after by the previous tenants but mostly superficial mess as far as I could see. Fresh paint, new carpets and flooring promised and underway. 

I tested taps, windows, opened cupboards and hit Sophie with a barage of questions which she duly scribbled down. I made sure OH was completely included and gave him a running commentary and my best sales pitch, just in case of doubts from his direction. Sophie said I did her job for her. 

I needn't have worried as he was taken with it, especially when I pointed out no-one would be walking past the windows as it's a corner flat and the other entrance is round the side. It was really quiet, no ambient sounds and very warm (no heating on) and I put that down to less doors than our gaff and LOW CEILINGS! Yay!

The pleasant amble back into town took no more than 3 or 4 mins, even at OH's pace, so just right. 

Super close to bus station, PO and doctors so all round exactly what I was looking for. If it doesn't happen I'll crumble, rant for a bit and then keep looking cos it will happen. I never give up once I've made up my mind xxx

Wow  

Do the forms you have filled in mean you are accepted for each and any upcoming properties rather than just this one? Is it to establish your worthiness rather than just this flat and not have to be repeated for each possibility?

Does it come with any gubbins like oven and wash machine?

Cheers 

Not too sure yet Shims, but I'll ask all that in the morning. I'm assuming we're on their books so if we have to look again I'll know how to fill the forms now anyway. 

The oven and hob's fitted but I'm buying new white goods and already chose what I want when the time comes. I've got a notebook that I keep adding to so nothing gets left out or forgotten. 

I've also written down a couple of man with van numbers to clear everything when I've got everything bagged up. That's ongoing but I've more time now as flat's not ready yet xxx

What do you have for breakfast? Think I need some! Unless it's a bacon sarnie. Ooh haven't had pretend bacon for ages!.

Is OH doing anything towards getting move ready? Within his capabilities obviously!

Oops flipping  hid my reply and then I think flagged it or your post.

Both will be judged as ok though!

Cheers

Oi! Those heated throws are around £50... did you have to buy a scooter to be gifted one?

Cheers

Breakfast first. Vit D, B12 with iron, a fish oil thing and 2 large bananas. Then I polish off any leftover Rice Krispies from OH's bowl. Bacon sarnies are later down the line. 

Sadly he can't help much, his mobility took a real hit after surgery and RT but it's OK and I make sure he doesn't feel emasculated with me doing all the donkey work. He's better off out of it rather than face my drill sergeant persona anyway xxx

Heated throw. Didn't read it all but I think proof of scooter might be needed. Boo, hiss 

Shucks! I think Stressy's fuel provider once asked him how many he wanted for free and surprisingly he only said two 

Sounds like you have a plan and a thundering well oiled machine. Woe betide anyone even thinking of putting a spanner in the works.

Oi! It's gone midnight and you have a day in Leeds to wrangle soooo ...

Cheers

Wise words hon. Yup, sleepy time and I need to rest my glazed peeps too.

You get settled too if you're ready, hmm? Nyt hon, I'll keep you in the loop with flatwatch, promise. Sweet dreams and keep warm xxx hugs
