Roll on the weekend!!!! Saturday morning will mark the official start of our holiday, and probably the last holiday we have for a long time…. Vicky has been hyping up the excitement in Poppy by showing her DVDs (aka DDDDDs) of Mickey Mouse (Miskey Mowse) and Donald Duck (Donnie Duck). When I phoned home last night all I could hear in the background was Poppy in the bath shouting “I not wait, I not wait, Miskey Mowse, Donnie Duck, Princess”. We’re going to be catching the Eurostar on Sunday morning so the first part of our holiday consists of a road trip to Ashford… sick bags on standby please. We’ll be stopping over at Vicky’s sister’s house on the way to clean up I’m sure – on which subject special loving thanks (in a manly grr pat on the back hug type of way) goes out to her boyfriend who’s got me two bottles of Mountain Dew fresh from the US of A. He knows the way to my heart.

I was also informed that my Pakistani Loach attempted suicide last night. He managed to somehow knock his castle over on top of himself requiring emergency assistance from an air crew (ie, my mom).

Hopefully in my next update I’ll be able to tell you we’re about to / have exchanged contracts and have a moving date. Finger’s crossed.
