Skittle update

Er... I now feel a bit fraudulent getting you all worked up about the cute kitteh.

Thing number one, Skittle is not a girl. Skittle is a boy.
Thing number two, Skittle is actually called Ernie, and... as it turned out when the vet discovered the microchip, was a LYING RUNAWAY IMPOSTER. So he's gone back to his real owners, the bastards.

Damn microchips, reuniting people with their much-loved pets. *growl*

We may need to move this to November as it is becoming increasingly likely that we may be moving by 29 October and that means packing up an entire house...! I'm not sure I'm up to this. How did you manage your two movings within the wich? But let's find a good day in Nov; this will be fun!!

Yes, definitely - November is good for me! :)

Argh, good luck with the moving! I've moved house 12 times in my life, and 10 of those were in the last 14 years as an independent adult-type person. To start with I'd basically just pack a couple of bags and merrily troop off to the shared student hovel, but each move has become a teensy bit more stressful as I've gradually acquired more stuff. I've now filled a two-bedroom house with this *stuff*, all of it mine, and the idea of moving fills me with cold dread.

And this is without the added stress of buying/selling.

Stress now somewhat alleviated by getting moving company to pack everything for us! This just leaves us with having to get rid of large items wot won't fit into the new house (trampoline) and throwing stuff out and hiring a skip and cancelling the milk and OTHER GROWED-UP STUFF.

The Comprehensive Spending Review fills me with cold, cold dread.

I can't even think about the CSR today - I feel terrible enough as it is!
