About to start clearing out the house...

[leelapops]

...in order to pack for moving (provisionally got a new job!)...How much cr@p can one small house hold? My goodness me, we have all sorts of gubbins!

So if you don't hear from me for a while, it will because it is taking me the fortnight until the move to box up!

[logic]

what's gubbins ?

[logic]

shurrup knobby, am still feelin grumpy

[leelapops]

gubbins=stuff, rubbish, clart, clutter...

Hiya logic, how are you love?

knobby, no idea, I was being polite though. A concept lost on some ABers... :P

[warpig3]

I know the feeling leelapops, we may be moving over the summer and the very thought of boxing up all the rubbish makes me feel ill. Mrwarpig has a habit of buying stuff that may come in useful (never has), maybe I will jsut hire a skip or two.

[leelapops]

hey warpig :) I know just what you mean! Unfortumately, I am the purchaser of 'useful' things in this household. That said, Mr Pops buys all sorts of pointless cr@p too!

We aren't hoarders, and I do try to get rid of whatever we have that isn't 'useful or beautiful' (who said that?) but still, there is so much! Some stuff I am loathe to leave behind, as most of my possessions have sentimental value.

So is your move a big one? Time for a change? Lots of luck! x

[leelapops]

Shh, knobby, if you had said nothing, then no-one would ever have known!! :P

Keep the fiver, buy me a nice tall cocktail about 8pm tonight and I will be happy, ta! Cheers for the luck, I need it! Very excited, but not sure I am ready for the big wide world again!

The quote was from William Morris leelapops. Where are you moving to?

[logic]

I'm well LEELA, hope the move goes smoothly, ( it never does )it's more stressful than divorce, but that's probably cos Iv'e done divorce more often ,

WARPIG, mr Warpig sounds like a man after my own heart, Iv'e had a garage full of stuff that'l come in handy, for over 20 years, but at least the drive came in handy for putting the car on, :-)

[leelapops]

moonshadow, thanks for that :) I am (if all goes well; I don't want to speak too soon as my appointment is reliant on good references!) moving up to the north of Cumbria, where I used to live, from the South of Cumbria, where I live now. I graduate in July, so I am pleased to have found full time work already. Part-time just isn't sustaining me! Thanks for asking.

logic, you make me smile :) Man of hidden warm heart :) (Sounds like the first line of a haiku).
You never know when you might need those curling irons, or that crimping machine, or the vice tht's missing a side.

Hi leelapops , you've got a lot of work ahead sweetie , it's amazing how much stuff you find to throw out when you come to pack for moving isn't it ?
Hope you are well hun xxxxx

[leelapops]

lovely mamma, hello-I asked after you in a thread from early this morning (don't remember which though!); glad we caught up :)

Yes it's certainly all go here, but hopefully worth the initial upheaval to find 3 further years of happiness at least! I am just on the edge of my seat, having to wait until Monday to find out whether it's a definite yay or nay! And (did I say?) I found out from my current manager that if the post is mine they would like me in a fortnight...As opposed to 4 weeks, as I had planned! Eeek!

How are you, love, health-wise and happiness-wise?
xx

[bigmamma]

I am fairly well at the moment leelapops , just getting over a chest infection . Gosh , that's soon , 2 weeks will go quick , have you got your packing boxes yet ? xxxxxx

[leelapops]

Oh mamma, I hope you are right as rain again soon. Funnily enough, I hve been coughing for nigh-on a fortnight, so I saw the doc eventually yesterday, and I have acute bronchitis. Antibiotics for me!

No boxes yet: thank goodness Mr Pops works in Tesco; all the boxes we need there! Can't believe Argos sell cardboard boxes and tape!! Rip-off!
This is mainly speculation, as I won't settle until I am offered the job officially, but everyone keeps saying "oh it's yours, it's yours"!

[warpig3]

Leelapops, we are hoping to head back to Belfast, mrwarpig has a job interview and if all goes well we will have to move over the summer (nightmare) but it will be good to be back among family and friends (babysitters- yeah!)

Logic you sound just like mr warpig right down to the suspenders!!!!!!!

[bigmamma]

Wow you too maybe moving warpig , keep us posted hun :-)

[Kleiber]

Leelapops, good luck with the move, pal, and also with the new job!! I hope everything works out well for you!! Love, K xx

[leelapops]

Oooh warpig lots of luck hun :) Hope Mr Pig gets it, and that you can then have some piglet-free time :)

Aww Kleiber long time no see, really! how are you? Thank you a lot-I will let you know if I definitely got it, and how it all goes! xx
