The Life of Sarah Bee

Things aren't quite going to plan!!

I had a bit of a hysterical fit yesterday. The trouble is, I'd decided to take the house across from the surgery - on paper it was ideal with 3 bedrooms and a garage. Sunday (tomorrow) was the first opportunity that I'd had to go & view it with work commitments and then the agent rang me yesterday and told me it had been let. I was gutted and started having a total panic - but had to keep it all inside because they don't know yet at work that I'm leaving. I just sat at my desk going nuts inside and just couldn't think straight. I got home and burst into tears and in true Sarah - fashion, I got it all out of proportion and decided that we were never going to find somewhere to rent and we would be homeless. How silly am I, hey?

I am now a bit more in control of the situation. The only problem is that I've got Friday booked off work and have arranged to spend the whole weekend with Theresa (AKA Tel) but now I'm going to have to move my day off to the following Monday when Pat can come looking at houses as well. It's my last day's holiday so I can't "waste" it on socialising. Tel will be gutted as she was saying how much she's been looking forward to it. I feel like I'm such a cow cancelling her at this late stage - normally I would never let a friend down like that - I hope she'll understand!

I've printed quite a few "possible" houses off the internet and will arrange to view them either at the weekend or on Monday. None of them are as ideal as the house we missed out on but they'll have to do - it's only for a few months, after all!!!

Other than my mini-breakdown, not much else is happening. As far as we know, all is going smoothly with the sale of our house. The surveyor is coming on Monday and we're on course to complete on 12th December. I'm not so sure about the purchase of the business. The vendor's solicitors lost the deeds and have taken about 2 months to find them, so everything has been held up (at least it's not OUR fault!) Our solicitor thinks completing on the business week commencing 12th December is possible, but pushing it. Well - we're moving down whether the business goes through or not!

I am going to hand my notice in on Monday. I'm dreading it because my boss is a bit of a b*tch - I hope she's not too horrible to me!! Wish me luck!!!

I'm sitting here listening to the fireworks. Happy Fireworks night, everyone!! Tonight I expect you're all enjoying yourselves with your bangers and sparklers. I'm doing my usual and staying in and cuddling Maureen my dog who is terrified of fireworks! She's had 3 valium tonight and should be well chilled out, but it's like Beirut out there and she's still in a total state! It's the same for her every year - poor girl!!

You will see that I have managed to put a couple of photos on, now. It's not as simple as my last diary and will only take jpeg pics so most of mine aren't suitable to be posted. One day, I'll get it sorted out!!

Anyway - here's one of Pat & I on our wedding day and here's one of Sonia.
