It's all under control ...just!
Apart from having a constant headache, sleepness nights and thrush from all the stress, I'm fine ;o))
We've made a pretty good start with the packing - still loads to do, though. God knows what's happening with the purchase of the business - we haven't even seen the contract yet. And the deeds to our house have gone missing and no-one is going to take responsibility for losing them. The upshot is that we need to get copies of the planning permission for the garage conversion and our friendly council are going to charge us £100 for the priviledge, even though it's not us that's lost them! Charming, hey!
It all sounds horrible, doesn't it and I'm sure a lot of you don't envy the situation we're in, but I'm trying very hard not to let it all get on top of me and am doing things that I CAN do (eg calling utlity companies, etc) and just trying to forget things that I can't do anything about (eg what the solicitor is doing) and let it go over my head.
On top of everything else, Sonia phoned me in hysteria because she has had her smear test result come back abnormal. Now, I've been nagging her for years to go for her smear test and she's kept putting it off & putting it off because she doesn't like the pain/humiliation. Well - she should try having a suspected miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, 2 d&c's and 2 cycles of IVF and then she'll know about pain and humilitation!! So, I calmed her down and tried to assure her that it's nothing to worry about and also that the colposcopy treatment is OK. (I had it about 8 years ago and as much as I may pretend to her it was OK, it was horrible! They used a local anaesthetic and to this day I can feel that huge needle in my cervix followed by the burning smell!) But she hasn't had a smear test for about 10 years so secretly I'm very worried about her - I just hope all is OK. So, she rings her mum and asks her to go with her to the hospital and her mum said No! That she was too bothered by her own problems and couldn't go!! So guess who's going with her instead??? Me!!!! I don't think she'll get the appoitment until the new year when hopefully my move will have all been sorted out.
One more worry - I have got tickets to go to Olympia horse show the Saturday before Xmas and until recently, I've been looking forward to it. We always go as a 4 - Me, My mum, her friend Sue, who's my mum's age and Jo, my mum's ex-colleague who is about 3 years older then me. Anyway, about a month ago, my mum announced in the unsubtle way that people who've never suffered from infertility do that Jo is pregnant again (Jo is the usual got pregnant first time first go - has been ttc #2 for all of 6 months and feels hard done by because it's "taking so long!") So Jo will be about 7 months pregnant when we go to Olympia and I'm dreading it. As much as I find people with children difficult to deal with, pregnant women make me feel phycially sick with jealousy. My mum was on about it again today how she's looking forward to it - it hasn't even entered her head that seeing Jo will be hard for me. So, I'm going to make an excuse that I can't go because of the move/business and it's tough titty if my mum is offended - is that awful of me?
Oh well, onto less stressful news - Pat, my brother Paul and his girlfriend Alice were going to go gliding today (I was going to watch) but it was cancelled at the last minute due to low lying cloud. I was secretly glad because I didn't fancy 3 hours in a freezing field watching them all up in the sky. As we're moving and will be a long way from the gliding club in the Dunstable Downs, Pat isn't sure when/if he'll be able to do it again so he's going to give the ticket to my other brother - Phil. So, I've got a free afternoon in the end - better get packing I suppose!

PS Yesterday we had a really good look round the garden and found one tortoise (Beryl) but Edith was nowhere to be seen! So Beryl is now snuggled in her hibernation box and Edith's is still horribly empty. :o( I have a bad feeling we will be moving without her...
