Hello lovely flisters,
We're off to live with my inlaws today for a little while, as our flat is about to have some major renovations.
How are we paying for this, giving the utter brokeness of our household as mentioned in my previous post? Well, I've cashed in our endowment. Y'know, the special savings plan designed to pay off the mortgage.
This is the most reckless thing I've ever done. Well, the most reckless financial thing - I've done some pretty crazy things with my personal well-being in the past, but I digress.
Anyway, it seems like a good idea, because I don't enjoy living here - it is very tatty and very inconvenient - but we can't move for a couple of years. So the work we're having done is all designed for maximum improvement in quality of life (a decent shower!) and convenience (changing the kitchen around so I can get a highchair in there and still open the fridge!).
The kitties are going to stay at a kitty hotel for the first time ever. They know something is up, because of all the boxes full of stuff everywhere. I'm going to miss their little whiskery faces; especially first thing in the morning, when they like to stand on my bladder and breathe their fishy breath at me.
