Had an email from my advocate, and the apartment sale is finally going through - meeting with him on Friday morning to sign various bits and pieces, and then the money comes from the buyer on the 31st.
So, M&D have now booked the Transit and the ferry crossing, coming over next Tuesday afternoon, going back on Thursday afternoon, and I've booked the single crossing for the bike on the Thursday too - should get home around 11pm or so, so long day.
Stuff to take to charity shop/chuck - dvd/cd rack, settees, bookcases (maybe), computer desk, double mattress, coffee table, old crockery, corner shelving unit -wow, lots of stuff, I'd better get a wriggle on!

Starting to feel more with it now - whoever heard of having to fax through a repeat prescription request in this day and age though??
Tired, but the end of the working day is nigh, and I'm going to see Ice Age 3 tonight, so that might help take my mind off its home-grown worries and strifes.
Will someone please hurry up and invent a switch for the back of my head that will turn off the bits of my brain that don't let me get off to sleep!

Oh me
Well, the apartment passed the pre-sale inspection on Friday so another step forward.
Went out on Kaiy's 21st on Saturday night, had a few wodkas and home by 1, unlike Kaiy who had a couple too many rums.....
Woke up this morning to a few shakes and tears, and no beta-blockers around :-( Time to get a repeat prescription, I think.

Moving forward
Well, contact with the advocate this morning, and stuff is progressing - he's sending the various forms to the Attorney General's office today. He sees no problem with hitting my end of July completion aim.
Still not heard anything from the government about viewing the apartment though....
Should get my iLap laptop stand in the next day or so, and just ordered 4gb or memory for the MBP - should make life a little easier.
Updated my travelogues website to include last September's trip to Dartmoor finally - it's only taken 10 months lol

Closer and closer
Well, been a few weeks since my last entry, but not been much to tell.
Apart from, I'm still going, but my flatmate hasn't been offered the apartment, so back to square one on that front. Joy of joys, the advocate dealing with the sale of the apartment is now moving to a new firm - he's taking my work with him, but I haven't got new contact details yet. I'll have to send an e-mail to his old address and hope he still gets them! Haven't heard anything from the government yet, which is annoying.
I've found out that paperback books and DVDs fit perfectly into lettuce boxes from the supermarket lol so first four boxes of things done. A friend might be popping over at the weekend with some more boxes to start packing the kitchen stuff.
Had a few texts from my parents, on holiday for 17 days in the south west of France - they hit 98f in the shade (36c) and told me I'm not allowed to move there as it's too hot in the summer lol Told them if I move to France it'll be to near the mountains anyway :-)
The boss has already asked if I'll be free to do a demo of the software in Honiton, Devon on the 7th August - hmmm, 32 miles each way at 40ppm, that's £25 earned lol
Starting to hit home that I'll be leaving some true friends behind (and I hope they know who they are), but with the marvels of computers and phones, we'll stay in touch, and once I get a new place, I'll open the door to all waifs and strays who want to come visit :-) Might even try and talk Kaiy into coming down for a break lol
Going to try and do more stuff, both on the bike and off, maybe hit Lunnon for a weekend or two, maybe see a show or three (you listening, boop? lol), go away for long weekends as the bank holidays allow, and try to get back onto the continent on the bike. Also got to fit in going to see Pete in HK before he leaves there - busy, busy!
