Yesterday, I got a phone call from the surveyors who are going to value my flat so I can purchase the other 50%. They could only come today or not for several weeks. So I was scrabbling round trying to find someone who could be at my house between 10-12 today. As it is month end there was no way I could be there. So my Grandad stepped up and offered his services, but then meant masses of rushing around yesterday getting him keys to my flat and getting the details to him. Then I spoke to friend Bonnie Sin who told me she'd seen a flat in my block up for sale for £10k more than I was expecting. That meant more stress and phone calls to arrange emergency funds from my parents if necessary. I've just got into work and looked at the estate agents website and the price was as I was expecting as Bonnie Sin had got confused. She's only got a maths degree so I shouldn't expect her to know the difference between a 5 and a 6 really!

Monday, June 02, 2003
I really need to get back into the habit of doing this. However, things have been really quiet so there hasn't been much to post and I refuse to degenerate into a woke up, got dressed, went to work, had breakfast etc etc type postings. It's month end so I have been fairly busy at work recently. We are also getting ready to start budget 2004 so things look like they will get even busier. This week will be my first full week in the office since the beginning of April - I won't know what has hit me on Friday!
The weekend was OK. I cleaned my house on Saturday and as a result I now ache all over. I knackered my back trying to clean my swimming pool of a bath. Yesterday, colleague Pussy Might came over for the day. We were going to hook up with another colleague Chloe Bounce and her husband Slick Bounce, but by the time Pussy Might made it over to Stevenage it was too late. However, we had a fun day and we did the whole girlie bonding thing telling each other our life histories!
