Today I signed the contract for the new house. Provisional pickup time of the keys will be midday, but I'll confirm with the estate agent early next week. Just 1 week to go. Finally, it's all coming together.

bmovie tonight, but I'm absolutely shattered from packing stuff late these past few nights. Up early tomorrow morning to meet mrk to move remaining stuff into the storage place. Burning the candle at both ends, as is my usual style :-)

I woke up feeling a bit down again. Not because of what's happened (nothing recently has happened to make me feel down. Once again, it's my mind trying to work against me in a way onlt it knows best.

I tried calling Helen, but there was no answer; I'll call later.

Michael phoned soon after; apparantly he's coming to Manchester tonight. Thanks for the advance notice, Mike *g* He'd arranged to meet up with Ross who's in Glos., so he's going to have to stay here. It's not a problem, but we have a deficit of keys and I don't know what I'm doing tonight. The Geek House occupants have gone to the beerfest AFAICT; maybe I'llhead over there to see them, or help out if they're not around *g*
