Calum left for work at 6.30am as usual for a Monday and Baggy and Minty Mutt sulked, as usual for a Monday. Not as usual for a Monday, Baggy could not get back to sleep, partly because Hormonal Hannah started her wittering in Baggy's ear again, so she got up! Yes bloggees, over three hours earlier than she frequently does! Before 7.30am, The Domestic Goddess had a load of washing done and hung out on the line, and another load in. Furry Mama had poo-picked the garden. The Goddess had tidied and dusted the sitting room. Then the chimney sweep turned up - brushed the chimney, while Clever Bird did the filing. All while being watched over from the front garden by one of the robins that seem to be constantly with Baggy this year.
Clever Bird then took charge. Surprisingly, she decided to use Hormonal Hannah's anger to get things moving!
* Letter written to the solicitor instructing him to buy the part of Baggy's Dad's garden that the neighbour bought from the farmer, who had previously bought it from under Baggy's Dad's nose (without him realising!). Further instructions also given for the rest of the garden. Clever Bird is insisting that Baggy does this, rather than having a legal battle that will probably cost as much and will end up with Hormonal Hannah having another meltdown.
* Estate agents who are supposed to be managing the place given a stern talking to by Hormonal Hannah who has had enough of being mucked about. They have now promised to get a builder to fix the broken pantile (that has allowed a ceiling to flood) by tomorrow and to get a quote to Baggy for decorating the outside, fixing the roof, sorting the chimney and various other bits.
* Once they were opened, Baggy set Hormonal Hannah onto the solicitor and explained on the phone that she wanted action and the letter was in the post (almost).
* Damp proofing company phoned to check whether their quote was still valid, five months on. They'll be calling Baggy back.
Breath taken!
Furry Mama walked Minty Mutt and Clever Bird actually remembered to get Baggy to post said letter to the solicitor.
The Goddess hung out the next lot of washing and vacuumed the sitting room, then cooked Baggy a fry-up for brunch. It's only 11.00am bloggees and for the first time in a while Baggy actually feels that she is back in control...........
