Moved
March 24, 2009
Oh, hai!
We have moved to Exeter, and I am still twitching after the ordeal that was removing a three seater sofa. There is a reason everyone else has small sofas, and this is it: maneuvering bigger sofas out of the door and carrying down 52 steps to the outside of the building is an ordeal worthy of MUCH TWITCHING. And removing the door to fit it out in the first place.
Jesus. Christ. I know. So, we moved down on Saturday. Only, Bill has returned to Brighton for his last few weeks at work. This saves us about £1000 in rent and other outgoings (Waitrose) but, oh my, it’s difficult being away from him. Especially at 6.30 in the morning when Hallam wants to get up and I don’t want to get up, and Bill usually DOES get up with him. Poo. Times like that I wonder whether I wouldn’t prefer not saving £1000 and staying in bed for another hour.
Bill is great, we miss Bill.
For now, we’re staying with my mum and dad. Which, actually is not as bad as it sounds because they are quite nice and free babysitters whenever we fancy(!!) and leave us to it. Once my brother vacates their ‘other house’ (hahahaha, it sounds like we are super rich now) we can move in there. Or find somewhere of our own. Anyway, this is bearable. I think. For a few months? As long as we get a car so we can escape to all those lovely places that had me convinced that moving was a good idea in the first place.
Oh, by the way. Car shopping is not as much fun as I thought it would be. Not fun at all.
It’s EXETER. But it’s OK. We’re OK. We’d be better if we won the lottery and bought a big house in Hampstead. But this will do until then.

I was going to message you on FB to see if you had made the move or not. Glad it went (kinda) smoothly. Sofa’s are not compatible with stairs.In.The.Slightest.
Poor Bill and poor you. Can you ask Hallam nicely to sleep a little later? Or would he just poke his fingers up your nose and in your eyes till you gave in and got up like a certain chap round here does?
Enjoy Exeter to the full. I am sure there are wonderful times to be had – when your brother moves out of the west wing and the butlers get up to speed with your needs of course
)
And here’s to that lottery win so you can move to Hampstead. I still pine for my old haunts round Primrose Hill *sigh*.

BTW – Kept meaning to say. I have a friend who is a stand up comic in Brighton and she used to live in Exeter too – are you reverse stalking her?
