Was awake for most of the night, and fell asleep sometime after 5am this morning. As a result I slept straight through the alarm and have just got to work.

Not a good start to the day.

It looks like our sale has completely fallen through now :(

Update:

It’s all on a tightrope at the moment. It seems that threatening to re-market our house has forced movement towards getting this sorted. We won’t know if it’s all going to work though until next week…

Have spent all morning investigating options that’ll mean that the entire chain doesn’t collapse. I think that I should be paid for all this work!

We ate out today to celebrate Father’s Day. Went to a very nice restaurant where they welcomed children with open arms. It’s much less stressful to go to a restaurant where there’s more than one high chair, kids cutlery and food that isn’t just fishfingers and chips.

Although we booked for midday, we had such a good time (and Jon didn’t get bored!) that we didn’t get back here until 2pm. Jon’s nap was a little late as a result but he slept very well until about 4ish! Of course, he probably won’t sleep tonight now :)

I’m not quite so stressed today over the house move. Georgina and I had a nice long talk last night which was good and made everything much more bearable.

We can’t do anything about the move for a week or so, so I’m sure that my stress level will rise again then :)

Our exchange has been delayed again :(

It appears that our purchaser’s solicitor has been less than completely honest with us about the state of the chain below.

Gutted… again !

BBC News:

It took the jury of 10 men and one woman just an hour and a half to return the not guilty verdicts, after a trial which lasted nearly six and a half weeks.

I’m glad that Trupti Patel has been found not guilty. It was

obious as soon as the case began that she was innocent. Yet more public money wasted though. I think that someone needs to sit down and come up with a better way to investigate infant deaths. Clearly assuming that a parent has murdered the child because there’s no simple explanation is just wrong.

You have to admire Manchester United. Getting rid of Beckham for ?30 million just has to be a good deal. He’s 28 now, so he’s got maybe 3 or 4 good seasons left so MU have already had his best… It looks even better from MU’s point of view if they do get the 23 year old Ronaldinho for ?9 million from Paris!

Today, so far, has been quite productive! I’ve actually got productive work done and haven’t had to deal with any major crisis all day! Who knows? I might even meet this week’s deadline!

Clearly my whinging worked :)

from one crisis to the next! It’d be nice if I was given enough notice that I could actually plan stuff…
