The countdown

One more week and we'll be going home. I thought I could finally look forward to the holiday after the move and that the house will be rented out and we can handover on 15th July. But looks like that's not going to happen now all because of Mr Nasty Landlord Dominic Palmer. Someone wants to rent the house and is keen to takeover on the 18th. As previously agreed, Mr Nasty said he'll end our contract on 15th July provided someone wants to rent or buy the house by that time. Voila! He's got a potential tenant. So my letting agent's been asking us to clean up the house for the handover on 15th as the new tenant is preparing to move in on 18th. Today Mr Nasty says he wants to sell the house which means we have to hang on and pay till end of the month even though we'd moved out a week ago. He had been a difficult person to deal with at the beginning and he's a big A*** right till the end.

Today after shopping at the supermarket, Lavigne and I got caught in the rain. It's one of those loathesome weather - rain a minute, shine another. It was drizzling so I decided to walk briskly to the car. The moment we were out in the open, it poured! I got the shopping and Lavigne into the car and pushed the trolley back to the bay. Passed by Subway and 2 youngsters in there went 'Chinks'. I thought I had misheard but on my way back, they said it again. I was already in a foul mood. So when I drove past them, I did the unthinkable (by my standard). I showed them the middle finger. They got me at the wrong time. I had enough of bullying of late.

On a happier note, even though the whole house is not set up at the moment, I'm enjoying having an ensuite, my bedroom and the kitchen. As we now have a dining table in the kitchen, I'm spending alot of time in there, doing my paperwork. My old kitchen was 1/3 the size of the new one. So I'm really liking the bigger space.

Chin up chin up, Roslyn! I hate it when these unscrupulous people just bully their way around DOMINIC PALMER! And not forgetting those youngsters who are ignorant, b**t**ds. Parents never teach manners is it? Shame on them.

But it gets better.... just think of rainbows & happy thoughts.
