So once again, the time has come for us to up sticks and move house. It’s T minus 7 days and counting. God, I hate moving. I’ve tied Hubby down (keep it clean, people) and forced him to promise that this is our last move EVER and that we’re allowed to stay in the next one until they take us out in a recyclable low-ozone sustainable cardboard coffin. I’ve also ordered the ‘complete packing service’ (ooer), which means that they pack everything and you don’t have to lift a finger (’she’s just had her nails done’, said smirky Hubby to the removal man. Grrrr). Hopefully this way we won’t have to relive the moment when one of the delivery men did a perfectly executed double back somersault over the front step and we all stood, holding our breath, while the large box-load of my very badly packed Waterford Crystal flew through the air and came to a very hard standstill on the tile floor with an ominous crash. Apparently if you pack it yourself you’re asking for trouble. Well, that’s my excuse.

Eircom, keeping to their usual miserable standards, have promised me that I can have a phone line in my new house in: ‘ooh’ (sucks teeth), ‘about a month I’d say…’ so I may well be banished back to the Internet Café I frequented after my last move. Still, things are looking up according to an email I received today and I shall soon be leaving all this behind for a private island in the Bahamas.
