Yo!! I'm here.. see what I did? Not there anymore... HERE. Here in the new house. That's right, the NEW House. I did it. I got out of the old place The place where my feng shui was definitely fucked. The place where people and dogs died... or had terminal diseases. Which is technically the same thing...eventually....
It was down to just me and the kid who can no longer be known as cherub. We needed out.
So I'm here. I'm in a house that's brand new and miles away from graveyards - metaphorically or literally. Whichever way you want to put it. We're not facing the graveyard anymore. Even better, the wind doesn't come through the windows, and the plumbing doesn't back up, and the double glazing isn't shot.
We don't look out the back window directly into Bob Next Door's - we look across fields to the Forth.
I've got a double garage. and a huge kitchen, and five bedrooms. Sometimes I walk into the kitchen just to remind myself how fantastic it is.
And it's all taken time. Between selling the old place, and taking the kid who's no longer cherubic on holiday, and then packing, and then the sale falling through, and then packing again... and then sorting the boxes. Oh yes and looking into internet dating... I've been busy.
But there are stories...there will be stories... bear with me...
What can I say meanwhiles? Merry Christmas of course!!

Definitely, that is the way to do it. Turn off the old and turn on the new life. I am so glad to hear about your new and brand new home. Good luck with the internet dating too.
Yes, it's sad how they stop being cherubs, isn't it?
Happy Christmas to you !
25 December 2012 at 21:46
Welcome back, and best wishes for great happiness in the next year. And a very good end of this one too!
25 December 2012 at 22:24
Good to hear you have stories....want to hear them all.....health and happiness in the new year and in your new home x
25 December 2012 at 22:57
Mr Musgrove! Indeed! Onwards and upwards - or at least outwards and half a mile down the roadwards in my case!
Mr Mago - Merry Christmas! Or frohe Weihnachten, as Google translate tells me...
Maps - Merry Christmas!
Rog - But and Ben??? D'ye think I'm raising Oor Wullie?? On second thoughts, maybe no better answer that
Jenny - I'm telling myself that a 6 foot youth is more useful than a Cherub. .... Hope your cherub enjoyed his chocolate Santas...
Z - Yay - we'll all have a good new year. 2013 only sounds ominous right???
Libby - Thank you! Re the stories though.. be careful what you wish for...
26 December 2012 at 01:39

Merry Christmas and an excellent New Year!

Scarlet - Good pun! Hope Santa and Mr Blue were nice to you!
Zig - Isn't it? Isn't it all getting miles better already? Bet I've got more unpacked boxes han you though...
26 December 2012 at 13:06
Stories? Not Cherub? Kitchen? Space?
***Internet dating???****
Settles down with big mug of coffee, waiting for the tales

Speccy - Oh the tales I can knit now I've got days and days off of work!
Pearl - Hi Pearl, Yes over HERE. Grand isn't it?
26 December 2012 at 16:24
I recently got a Feng Shui calendar, but I have no idea where to put it!
Congrats on the changes!
26 December 2012 at 19:29
Glad you are back and back with us....looking forward to the stories!
Ps what do we call the cherub now?
26 December 2012 at 20:43
LX - What can I say?? I have no idea where to hang the calendar...but take care now....don't underestimate the effects of band shui....
Curry Queen - Thank you... suggestions on what to call the yoof formerly known as Cherub and now inordinately annoyed at being called this are all welcome...

Number One Son?
27 December 2012 at 04:52
It's my considered opinion that the older you are, the more you have to change, just for the sheer hell of it. ^^
Huge kitchen? FIVE BEDROOMS? A view?! I think I may be having a severe jealousy attack.
Xmas is already over, but here's to an extra happy New Year capitals and new year small letters. You go, girl and not-the-cherub!
PS: Here in Japan babies are called Name-chan but older boys are called Name-kun.
27 December 2012 at 13:06
FIVE bedrooms??! That's not a house - that's a palace!
Your new place sounds fantastic, congratulations!
Christmas is over, therefore I won't wish you a Merry Christmas right now, but all the best for 2013.
27 December 2012 at 16:30
I've just realised you said FIVE BEDROOMS.
All I can suggest is that you get a move on with the Internet dating....
27 December 2012 at 19:18
Mr Musgrove - This might be an improvement on Cherub. I shall need to consult..
Rurousha - Or Cherub kun? This also might be an improvement on Cherub. Or as he is currently known... The Eejit.
Librarian - It is! It is fantastic! I actually have five bedrooms because this year's plan is that I become a landlady and spend less time at the office.
Rog - Internet dating yes, Dating homeless people, no!
27 December 2012 at 19:39
I look forward to the progress reports on your internet dating. From what I've heard, it's a very hit-and-miss business. Hope you find the nice guys and not the fruitcakes.
27 December 2012 at 20:52
Nick- So do I. Currently the ratio seems to be about 1 nice guy to 30 weirdos
