Just a quickie - I have completed on my house! I now own a house - I have keys, and a garden, and rooms, and carpets... but no curtains or curtain rails, a serious lack of furniture and a broken Yale lock...
More to follow on the progress of doing up the house :-)

And breathe.......
The last week has been crazy busy, moving out of my flat at the start of last week, only really finishing on Thursday, and then from Wednesday night I was involved in a really good show with songs from the musicals performed by an amateur group.
The show was proof that everyone knows everyone in a small town, as my estate agent was in the group and when one of the performers' brother showed up with his girlfriend I knew her as well!
After the final night on Saturday we did kareoke with the live band and I got up and sang 'I Will Survive' - that's another thing crossed off my list of things to do before I'm 30 :-)

No fixed abode
Well, the flat is completely clean and tidy, very empty, vacuumed, swept, and steam cleaned. Most of my worldly goods (I like that term - I've always wanted to find an excuse to use it!) are in boxes in storage either in my parents' garage, my pastor's shed, and in the back of church. Some boxes and some bits of furniture are in the back of a transit van waiting for me to find somewhere to put them, and I'm staying with Steve and Brenda, and Gertie the dog - friends from church.
It's a bit strange not having a home address at the moment. I just got a call from my Mom to tell me my mortgage has been approved, so it shouldn't last too long, but it's surprisingly relaxing. It was a lovely drive into work today through the countryside, and it was nice to have a bed to collapse in knowing that I wouldn't have to worry about doing any more cleaning or clearing for a while!
The only down at the moment is that I dropped my phone down the toilet on Friday (I can give you details but you might not want to know!) and my new phone isn't working yet. It wouldn't be so bad, but it's the only way for people to get hold of me at the moment, so although my mortgage was approved yesterday Mom couldn't get hold of me to tell me before today!
