I managed to get a box of boxes from the Yellow Storage place yesterday….Whoopee! Does that mean my lapse is lapsing?

It does mean that I can get in to the loft and start going through whatever is up there. Not a job I am particularly looking forward to but essential nontheless.

I forgot to tell you the other day that, my sister and her boyfriend have taken the plunge and are moving over to their property next month/early June. After much soul searching, agonising and debate, they made up their minds, well,….. overnight (as well as a good few months of the ‘Why are we doing this day in, day out?’ sort of feelings.) 

I am still in a state of shock…it has taken me 2 years to get this far, they make up their minds overnight and will be there to greet us from the airport when we arrive..too bizarre!

In a matter of weeks, myself and my children are moving to France. Am I in a mad panic? In a rage of activity and list-making? In floods of tears and sleepless nights?

Strangely and, increasingly worryingly,no, I am not!

It’s as if I am untouched by the whole experience and as if it’s happening to someone else. I’m not sure if I have just gone on shut-down but I seem unable to even think about what I need to be thinking about!  After 2 years of planning and research, I am stunned into inactivity.

Is this normal, I wonder? I have managed to start the ball rolling with renewing The Boys passport, but as far as organising anything else I am, well, apparantly unable.

I am waiting for the bolt of lightning that will jolt me into action….please, let it be soon!

The house went on the market last Wednesday, at last. And by Saturday we’d had hundreds of viewers and, yes, an offer! It took 3 days for it to come in. So I am now eating my own cynical words of a few weeks ago and lots of humble pie!

It would appear that the agent does know what he’s talking about and so, we can only assume that when he says that we will be out in 6 to 8 weeks time, he is in fact correct! Let’s hope so!

Diddy is now planning the trip down and has taken a fancy to the Bilbao mini-cruise, but at that price, it won’t be happening. Neither will a leisurely drive, if Ryanair are doing special prices. It may be better to fly anyway, as no doubt we will be quite emotional and in need of a quick arrival.

Hello again, by the way! I really don’t know what happened to April. Diddy has been off school for a total of 4 weeks, The Boy for 3; what with poorliness and Easter holidays. (Not sure if that sentence makes sense!) I think I must have been doing my hardest to entertain and stay sane, which leaves little time or energy for feeding the blog! But I am back now, having dropped them off at school this morning and look, I am already blogging!
