So You Thought The Space Shuttle Was Fast !!!

Three weeks into the acceptance and the pace has gone from fast to bullet speed as everyday a new event is either set upon us, is in process or has been finished.

At 07:00 on Monday my week started. Ten minutes later it was Friday so lets try and remember and document what happened this week.

Monday was the trip to Devon. Buckfastleigh to be precise. Love going to that part of the country as it reminds me of the time I spent in Devon and how life really wasn't that bad when I was in my early 20's. Pretty good actually when I seriously think about it.

Tuesday was the trip back up again. Got back home at about 19:00 to a very happy Yvonne which is always nice. We spoke again about the sale of the house and then decided that we had to do it at some point. There was no putting this off, it had to be done. So we went online, booked and paid for three, one way tickets to Canada. £1505.07 later, it was done. We could have got cheaper but we thought that as this will be the last time for many years that we will be on a long distance flight that we should pay for a couple of luxurys like leg room, sitting together and breathing the air that the airline owns. I pity the poor souls who will have to hold their breath for 8 hours.

Booking them wasn't as exciting as I thought it might be. In fact, it was a pretty much none emotional feeling. I knew that it had, as I still know, that August the 24th 2010 is the last time I will see British soil for many years to come but it still feels like it is not happening, even though it is only a month today away. Even as I Ebay DVD's, office furniture and anything else that I cant take with me, it still seems like this is just a story in somebody elses life.

Tuesday was also Jacks last day at Sowerby Bridge High School and Yvonne's last day at work. I thought about them alot and kept texting Yvonne with a countdown of when she would be un-employed. At 16:10 she finally was and for me, it was a great feeling. Another milestone passed.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was a blur as it was just work work work not just for me but for Yvonne as well. Selling 20 years of life is easy, at the right price which in this day and age, is nothing. However she is working her ass and bringing in the money quickly, bless her little cotten socks.

It is now Saturday. I arrived back from Tamworth at 11:00 am, had a very nice cooked breakfast, sat out in the garden with the Mrs enjoying a cup of coffee and then off to work we went. All day I have been ebaying, Yvonne has been pricing stuff for a car boot sale tomorrow and putting it in the car and all of this wont even leave a dent. This is going to take some time of which, we have very little.

Like I said before hand, and you thought rockets were fast.
