T-minus 7 days

Out in the snow!

Today's words are brought to you by the letters B = bored and F = fed-up :(

Back at my desk. Emails checked, double checked then triple checked, just in case I find something interesting to do, schedules printed and reviewed, orders raised and placed. I could be at home, packing some more boxes. But I'm not - I need to be here to be paid until my last day, as it is going to be a while until I see another wage packet at the end of March.

We have a rental viewing this afternoon! I hope it's not another family of 6 wanting a 4 or 5 bedroom house, but seeing if they can shoe-horn themselves into our 3 bedroom house again. Why don't the letting agents screen this sort of thing out for goodness sake! Maybe they are professional house viewers, or have some sort of compulsive disorder - what would they call some one who compulsively looks into estate agents windows and goes to view house with no intention of actually proceeding with the rental? Some sort of rentavoyuer no doubt.

I spent most of the night sorting out the house trying to make it look good, and only have a 5 minute spruce up before they arrive. I put the hot tub on again last night, to make sure they see it running. I think it's a great feature of the house - who wouldn't want to jump into a nice hot spa after a hard day's slog!

I kept listening out for Tara, the dog, clattering over the tiles and wooden flooring. It was strange not to hear her snoring in her basket. I hope she enjoys the Midlands and living with Karen. Make sure she has a good time Karen. There, you got a mention after all!

I got a cracking book from one of the sales guys here at my old job, thanking me for my support over the past year or so. It is an etiquette guide to Korea, and is a really knowledgeable book on how to survive, live and know what makes the difference! We will be taking several leaves from this one. It's nice to know that blowing ones nose in public is very much frowned upon, but spitting apparently, is OK - go figure!

I am going to try and post a picture on here and see how it looks - this will be a great place to post our pics on online, and let you all see where and what we are getting up to.

Till next time :)
