At last. Confirmed. Kim’s signed the contract and ratboy (complete with scuffy entourage) will be leaving on the 7th of February. Sadly, I’m working that day and can’t get the time off to stand at the door letting off Party Poppers as I’d planned. I dug for ages to find them in the loft as well. Hey ho. I’ll just have to settle for the fact that I’ll no longer be disturbed by some selfish **** and his wretched other half slamming metal gates off my wall, screeching car tyres and having Eastenders-style arguments in the street.
Though truth be told, I’ll miss the last bit.
It also means that Kim’s moving out (like, duh). As it happens, a friend of a friend is popping over at the weekend to check the place out with a view to moving in along with 2 "house rabbits". Given KK’s predeliction for eating anything that even looks like it might move, this could lead to further entertainment. Especially as rabbits can be savage buggers when threatened. Mind you, I’ve bitten KK back once after she went for me and she didn’t learn from that. Rabbits have big, sharp teeth though. Maybe that will help get the message through.
Nothing’s for definite yet, and I think the house needs a bit of a tidy. This means I’m going to be attempting to scrawl off the end of my (overdue) coursework with my feet while I brush the stairs, vacuum, dust, clean the kitchen and berate Kim for leaving the bathroom door open again (KK pee’d in there last night) with my upper limbs and mouth.
Now, where did I put those marigolds?
And the KY?
NO! No time for play. Just the marigolds.
‘House rabbits’? Bloody hell, they are scary things. Do you really want to submit KK (and yourself) to that sort of terrorisation?
And can we all come to Kim’s house warming?
*note to self – need to sort one out for me too*
Better than a friend of mine, who bought a house with his g/f (bought it last spring in fact). She still hasn’t moved in, because she hasn’t told her parents.
Hints and tips:
Not that I’m saying Ratboy is less than an honest person, but I would advise Kim to change the locks on the house. By the sound of it, he is one of those people who would forget he had moved when his is drunk and let him self in with the key he ‘forgot’ to hand back.
I don’t know if Kim will be having a house warming. She’ll be struggling for furniture for a start. And she’s yet to tell her b/f that she’s bought a house…
I’m just pissed off cos he’ll be moving out while I’m at work. I had party poppers and streamers and everythign with which to wave the little ****** goodbye.
oh Chris, how can you be so suspicious of the soon to be dearly departed Ratty and his litter?
Quite easily I hear you say – mmm, yes, well…
Huzzah & indeed, hurrah – much rejoicing shall abound.
Surely a “missing you already” card would be appropriate – or has he not progressed on to subtle sarcasm yet?
