Its all getting very real

Filed under: Uncategorized

Having been in denial about Christmas, its now getting real. I think singing started it on Thursday, plus the massive card writing marathon and the shopping trip helped too. I’m now finishing the cards and wrapping the gifts.

I like Christmas, and this one will be extra exciting as we’ll be in a new home.

That is getting very real too. I’ve just set up a forward of my post for a year to the new house and have had the landline cut off. I think we’ve exchanged contracts and are due to complete on Tuesday. There is a chance it may not quite happen, but its seeming pretty optimistic.

What also is now really sinking in is the fact I’ve got to do the exams again. I am more upbeat about things, but it still hurts. What seems to hurt most is the fact that everyone work related has said that they felt I was very unlucky to fail and had done pleanty of work.

Anyway, what I have seen this week is how many lovely friends I have. You’ve all been wonderful and I wouldn’t have coped without you. Phonecalls, texts, offers of hugs and company, facebook messages after bunnydeaths, small gifts of chocolate. Friends are a wonderful thing, and I’m so lucky to have so many lovely lovely friends. 

Thank you all.

Bullet points

  • Sorry I haven’t blogged for a while there’s been a lot on
  • Beryl and Reggie mysteriously died. It made me very sad.
  • House move is still progressing, but it is very slow. We will be in by Christmas though. YAY
  • A very close friend has got engaged. Hurrah
  • I worked very hard indeed for my exam.
  • Sadly they didn’t ask me the right questions so I failed, so I am very sad and I have to do it all again.
