Progress

I am attempting offline posting today with a tool I downloaded just before I left. Not sure if its going to get the dates right but if not today is Wednesday the 12th.

Progress is being made. The job is all finalised as far as I can tell. All I need now is a definite start date. This job (more details when I start properly) has taken the most applying of any job I've had yet. It took three interviews and I am beginning to think that my agent has earned his fee. This is quite impressive - often agents get a whole stack of money for little more than arranging an interview.

We also have a house credit checks and references not withstanding. If thats all fine we will be living in the centre of Ely. Ely despite being a city is very small and quiet and, somewhat surprisingly, house prices and rent seem to be similar to Glasgow. All of which means we are on the final stretch - the logistics of moving.

Anyway back up to Glasgow for a few days to pack and go out drinking with a few friends for the last time for a while. With Milo's sibling due in July I guess I am going to be staying in for a few months anyway no matter where I am.

Talking of Milo the poor thing has spent the last two days being dragged round estate agents and houses and as a result has become over tired and grumpy. Its not much fun when you are my age - goodness knows what its like when you are two. Anyway he can have my undivided attention tomorrow.
