Dibley Update
Posted 21-09-2007 at 09:48 AM by Vicar of Dibley
Well this is new... I don't think I've ever blogged before...but here goes..I'm about to lose my Blog virginity (HORRAAHH)
lIFE IN THE Dibley household is really dull and frustrating right now. After all the excitement and emotional rollercoaster of actually getting the visas.. we are now in the no-mans land of selling the house!!!!!
I actually think that this is worse than the visa bit!!! We spent weeks getting the house ready to be put on the market and spent a small fortune. Only to realise that we would probably have a better chance of selling it if we sold it to property developers who could use the land to build. But this means knocking down the house...!!!! (Argghh). We have had a couple of developers round to view, both are interested but no news yet.
We can't book flights or resign jobs etc until we have exchanged, so we are in this stalemate right now.
Everyone keeps saying " I thought you were going to Oz"... " So did we..." is the reply!
The whole thing is like the biuld up to Christmas...all the frenzy and excitement and then after the prezzies are opened, all you have to look forward to is Turkey curry, the Queens speech and the credit card bills!
On the plus side..just to keep myself sane. I keep thinking that this is the calm before the storm All of a sudden the house will sell, we have to be out in two weeks and its all hell let loose!
To add to the personal hell that is now. I can't get on with "business as usual" like the OH does. What is it about men? I can't concentrate on anything except getting to Oz. I want to achieve this goal and everything else is shoved to a dark store room in the back of my brain until I have achieved it!
The OH on the other hand has put the move to Oz in his storeroom and just wants to carry on as if we hadn't even THOUGHT of going to Oz!!
Now that kind of behaviour isn't normal to me. That sort of person either belongs in the circus or in a science lab some where!
Even the Diblets are getting to the " well if we ever DOOOO get to Oz..." (open brackets.." not that seems likely now..."close brackets") sort of mentality.
I'm all alone in a sea of Neg ferrets!
So, what can I do to keep myself from joining them?
Make lots of lists? Join A club? Sell my body? Knit blankets? All suggestions greedily accepted.
Perhaps today will be the day we sell......

Hey Vic, dont I know your frustration. But be prepared is my advice because you are right, one day you'll get that offer and whoosh everything will happen at once. But the best bit of all will be that it WILL happen, and when you get here you can have a well deserved chill out at the beach....for a week... and you must allow yourself to re-charge after all that you have gone through to get here. Good Luck with the house.

Vicar you know the best way to keep yourself going - keep coming to poms and entertaining us with amusing threads!
It will all click into place, we got to the point of thinking are we ever going to get there and now when we're out and about I just keep looking and thinking, yes, we're here, we did it! You will too! Felicity |
