Sunny Tuesday Afternoon

So what am I doing now?

Well as you may know we are trying to buy a house in London, and when I sayhouse I mean a tiny one bedroom flat somewhere relatively safe, e.g. thereare no gangs of yoofs walking around with knives.

Our budget is huge for NZ over half a million dollars and tiny forLondon. So it goes without saying that we can't afford anything.And proprieties are literally selling the same day they go on the market.The same day. And go within hours.

Anyway we have made an offer on one place, it was rejected and are currently doing sealed bids on another place. And it 3:28 and the bids close at 4. So wehave half an hour of waiting until D day or D hour or D Time. that sounds like rap song ‘Its D-time y’all’ . So here I am waiting for news.

Can't share the stress with Jamie because he is busy with work. I am not and therefore have half an hour of waiting ahead. Will keep you updated.

3:32 still no word, have just checked my email. Can't remember if the estateagent has my number or not. Think he has it, will it be stalkerish to check?Will read about the cutty sark (for those of you that don’t know the cutty sark was a historic tea clipper that burned, what is a tea clipper, no one knows, not even God) to keep my mind off it. How bored must you be to set fire to a ship?

3:35 only 2 minutes have passed. Cutty sark was boring.

3:38 I have to do work now, it's a good distraction.

3:39 work didn't distract me at all. am now just bored with work. anywayhave done it now didn't take as much time as I thought. Will check my hotmail.

3:42 no new emails. this is taking ages. not sure if I am more scared of not getting the property or of getting it. Then I will have a mortgage and mybelt will have to be tightened.

3:45 Still no email, it's driving me crazy. am drinking tea and eating chocolate to calm myself down.

3:47 its not working.

3:50 walking to the post box at work to distract me.

3:51 I am back it was a short walk.

3:53 God time is drag-gg-ing. Am so bored I would set fire to the cutty sark at this stage.

3:55 Maybe not those two minutes just flew by.

4:00 Shit was reading about Paris Hilton on the internet and totally forgot about the flat.

Its 4:00. Jesus now we are really waiting. Will check my email now.

4:05 and no news these people are torturing me, also have just remembered he definitely does have my mobile number, so why hasn't he called? I feel desperate and dateless. Although the estate agent was overweight and grossed me out.

4:07 am no longer writing this it has made the waiting worse. Damn real time blogging.

4:35 Bad news, didn’t get the property again. This is madness. And now I am over caring. Well not over caring, yes I am over caring and am never ever seeing a tiny shithole apartment in London ever again.

5:01 Have been sucked in, am seeing another property on Saturday. And the cycle continues.
