Waiting (Again)

I am not waiting for anything on my place now. Everything is in place and it would be extraordinarily unusual for things to fall apart at this stage. Settlement is on Monday 4th August and I am confidently expecting that to go ahead as planned.

I am waiting for the delivery of a skip sometime today. Although - the weather is absolutely appalling and I wouldn't be all that surprised if they postponed it to tomorrow. I won't be here tomorrow morning but they've delivered skips before and I can't see there being a problem. Or not with the skip. I am a bit worried about falling trees squashing my house - which would certainly delay the sale. Fingers crossed no trees fall, or if they do that they fall the other way, hopefully squashing no houses.

I am actively waiting for things to be organised for the new place. It would again be unusual for things to go awry at this stage but I am waiting for my solicitor to approve the sales contract and then for my mortgage application to go through. I am not really expecting any problems but the waiting is taxing! 

Always assuming that settlement of the new place happens as planned, the storage unit where my stuff is going on Monday can potentially also move it all to Docklands. They will give me a quote when they see how much there is.

Things are slowly falling into place. But there is still an unnecessary amount of waiting to do 😂

The Community Care Centre people took all the things I had set aside for them, including my wooden bed base which we bought when we were in Khartoum Road for the attic bedroom which Freyja mostly used. It came with us when we moved to Tupton and went into the spare bedroom. It came to Australia with us and was promoted to the main bedroom both in the first unit and then in Tani. Unfortunately I decided that it would simply be too bulky for the new place and it has gone for a new life with a new family. Obviously they don't take mattresses but I am going to take my mattress up to Lindsey's place. It's a Koàla mattress and they are  very comfortable and very expensive. I do not want to send it off in a skip! Anyway, if my single bed plan proves not to be feasible, I am going to want it.

The cats have been very puzzled. by the state of my bedroom!

There are lots of boxes in there now.
I am using it as a storage space ready for next Monday
