The end of an Era

So now, the time is here
the time to sell, with carpets & curtains.
to all, I'll say it clear
I am nervous, that much I'm certain

I've lived here 7 years, I'm selling up
Ill do it my way
Move in, with SWMBO now
Joining "couple" highway
=--------------------------------------=

That's it, Damo is selling his "bachelor pad" to buy up with SWMBO, I say bachelor pad, of the 7 years I've been here, 5 have been with SWMBO, however it was exactly what I wanted;

lads night Saturdays, DVDs, Playstation 2, Fishtank, Surround Sound, Big TV, Lots of kitchen utensils, TV with Sky in every room.... BLISS

So now its all gonna change, it'll more like, Lads night Saturdays, DVDs, Playstation 3, Fishtank, Surround Sound, Big(ger) LCD HDTV, New kitchen utensils, TVs with Sky HD In every room

Women eh, they don't half change you......

Its all down to the Estate Agent and Rightmove to get my house sold, although I thought I would give them a helping hand. For some reason I don't entirely trust estate agents, although I have picked the best of the bunch (hopefully)

Life Wife Laundry

A few Months (Years) ago, I made a promise to SWMBO. I promised I would clear out all the crap and clutter from my house and make the 1 bedroom studio flat into the 3 bedroom semi it actually is, well despite all the visits to various websites (Lifehacker, OrganizedHome, Yell etc) giving advice on life laundry, house clearances and the best way to sort through years and years of clutter, nothing ever got done....

That is, until SWMBO decided to make even more of an honest man of me and decided she wanted to move in together (Cue the Duh Duh Duhs). We She has found a house (unfortunately near to the Monster-in-Law) and wants to buy it, we have put the offer in and done all the calculations to ensure we cant afford it and hopefully should be moving soon.


SWMBO has done in less than 2 weeks, more than I could managed in 6 years, Its a shame I cant show before and after pics, but previously, no-one could get in 2 of my 3 bedrooms, now they are empty. Its all gone,

Advantages - My house is a home and not a storage area full of crap
Disadvantages - I can't actually find anything, nor do I know if I still have the stuff I am looking for.

Moral - Guys, Dont waste time and money looking for those Kim & Aggy style life laundry people or looking at websites advising on how to clear years and years of shite. Simply invest in a Clare. In my opinion "everybody needs a Clare", Ive had 2 (One didnt work but thats a story not for the blogs).

The other advantage - Damo gets "HD Ready" (TV, SKY, PS3, DVD), I just wont tell SWMBO just yet !!!!

By the way - Thanks Clare !!!!!
