I Will Miss the Beautiful Tree in the Drying Green. I Will Not Miss Jerkface.

We sold our flat.  We put it on the market on Saturday and it sold on Wednesday.  That's approximately 11 months and 3 weeks faster than the estate agents advised us it would take to sell it.  Since we're so good at selling things, we went ahead and put our (second) guest bedroom furniture up for sale on the local version of Craigslist.  We listed it yesterday.  Today it's all gone.  If you want to come visit us and actually sleep in a real bed in your own room, you should hustle on over to the United Kingdom before June.  Otherwise, you can share a cardboard box with us down by the river (we don't have a van).

I think I'm happy for you, but perhaps I think I hate you, I'm not sure. I have sleepless nights about selling our house--we're still in the midst of painting hell and haven't even listed it yet. But send some of your luck our way, please.

You are good at selling things! I am glad you will rid yourself of Jerkface! Here is to finding a great place that isn't a cardboard box or at least to finding a real nice van!

You are so funny. But I'm wondering what will happen to your greenhouse and all your lovely plants?

Perhaps you can live in the allotment in the tool shed. It's less glassy than the greenhouse which would cost a fortune in curtains and you wouldn't have to be wary of yourselves.

SCS--I maybe have a TINY bit of luck to send your way, but I still need a lot of it for myself to find a new place to live and to find money to pay for the new place.

Alice--Yeah, a van would come in handy now . . .

Breanne--Our greenhouse is at our allotment (community garden), so it's completely separate from our flat. We rent it from the allotment association. We'll probably end up living farther away from it, but we'll just drive or take the bus over there every week.

KWB--Steve has already suggested that we live at the allotment. It's his perfect dream, actually!
