They have now moved out again and I'm rattling around this house on my own. It's so strange but it does have it's upside. I'm getting things into order too, busying myself to keep off the boredom. What I will do when the house is fixed worries me, but no doubt the next phase of my life will reveal itself, I just have to be patient.www.retiredandcrazy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130398756223000765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-76853989144672554332010-09-27T09:41:01.238+01:002010-09-27T09:41:01.238+01:00Hope you enjoy the next chapter Addy - you have a ...Hope you enjoy the next chapter Addy - you have a lot going on anyway.Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-10672869649997062172010-09-25T13:26:21.295+01:002010-09-25T13:26:21.295+01:00your last two posts brings back such memories of t...your last two posts brings back such memories of the begininng of September for four years in a row of me cleaning/painting/fumigating various student houses for our two kids.<br /><br />With me leaving said children in these places, with me in tears at how people could live in such places, with me being actually frightened at leaving said children in these places, and withme begging them not to move next year and if they did, they could do their own cleaning, painting or fumigating in future!!!<br /><br />I am so glad those days are over with!!<br /><br />Gill in CanadaGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-68408331552857546632010-09-24T19:40:02.175+01:002010-09-24T19:40:02.175+01:00Not sure my last comment will show up Blogger has ...Not sure my last comment will show up Blogger has defeated me again.<br /><br />I said that I wished you and Kay well.

I remember sitting on the sofa for an hour and a half, with one phone clamped to my right ear and a different one clamped to my left, in the vain hope that at least one of my calls would reach the top of the British Gas call-centre queue. What a waste of time! Young people are so very careless of practicalities, re the arrangements with the German girls, but generally amazingly honest, so I am sure it will all work out. <br />Re the dirt and all, I kept on telling my daughter that if she didn't clear up her mess in the kitchen, it would attract vermin. After mice in Bath, and cockroaches in London, she has finally learnt her lesson. Now she cleans up after her flatmate constantly, and tells me: "I now understand what it must have been like for you, mum, wiping surfaces all day long!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3978906014166411621.post-61846769299684055022010-09-22T22:49:55.063+01:002010-09-22T22:49:55.063+01:00Hi Addy,
