i hope to god that our child takes after the cg and not after me because there's a very good chance that i am insane. if i'm not then i'm definitely on my way there. the day started out quite stressfully. i should point out that the stress was self induced and at no point did i even attempt to put things into perspective. basically, the �31.25 moses basket that i so heartily coveted was sold out when we called them at 9.00am on the dot. obviously, this is end of the world kind of stuff. after that i worried myself sick driving over to B-o-A to look at the house. i worried that the people before us would take it, i worried that the carpets would be pink (and i couldn't even live with pink carpets to live in B-o-A), i worried that we would get the house and the landlord here wouldn't let us break our contract and then when i was done worrying about that i worried that we would get the house and everyone in B-o-A would hate us and we wouldn't make any friends. by the time we got there i was ready for bedlam. anyway, to cut a long story short, after a look around the house and 3 trips back to check out the area we decided to go for it and put down a deposit. you couldn't get a better location if you tried. it's so close to everything and across the road is private estate access to the river and riverbank (where i foresee lots of summer picnics). there is also free canoeing for residents, not to mention at least a handful of lovely pubs and restaurants within 5 minutes walk. better still is the close proximity to the library, town hall and swimming pool (all of which have activities for mums and kids!). the house itself is not the most beautiful in the world (nor is it the most ugly...i think it's just that it's empty and has no character) but it is large and once i'm in there i will do my uptmost to make it cosy and comfortable. anyway, please keep your fingers, toes and anything else you have available crossed for us because i really really want this to work out.
