Morning Nell, going to sign the paperwork this morning, hand over the cheques and get the keys. I have Friday's off anyway but I am going to ask for Monday to just give me that extra day with my S and he will be going back on Tuesday, so would be nice to spend an extra day with him.
I have a 60th party Saturday, well we are both invited, don't know if he is going to go or not, haven't raised the issue with him yet. Don't think I will get much me time this weekend but hopefully next weekend I will.
So pleased for you Oz ... could only be more pleased if I knew that your H was coming with you.
Good idea to get Monday off too ... you will need that bit of 'settling' time. Is the townhouse far from where you currently live or will it be a whole change of neighbourhood too? I have only been to the CBD and immediate outskirts of Melbourne (love the DFS near the airport). I know that getting around is fairly easy with the trams etc. but I take it that you drive, too?
Where is S coming in from? Not long for him to be around but will be good that he can see where you are going to be living - it will give him a sense that you are safe and he will be able to 'picture' you there when he gets worried about you - as I am sure that he will from time to time!
Are you going to go to the party? It would be so easy to back out but you should go. Consider it a treat and a 'moving in' party for you, too! No, I can't imagine that you will have much 'me' time this weekend so just another reason that you should go to the party - with or without H.
OK - best go get showered and start my day or else I shall end up staying here at the computer all day and that's not good for any of us!
Will check in later - have a good one ...

I wonder whether you even need to email about the keys. It will be a given anyway and why does H need to know unless H has committed to moving with you? Might seem like you are chasing a response from him (and I know that you are but....).
Paperwork all done, bond and first month's rent paid. Can't have keys till Friday though.
Nell, the townhouse is about 5 or so minutes from where we currently live, so I know the area quite well.
We actually live about 40kms out of the CBD down on the peninsula but at least with the freeways now the travelling time is not as bad as it used to be. Where we live unless you drive, it will take you forever on public transport to get somewhere.
My S lives in Newcastle at the moment, he is in the airforce so gets moved around a little bit. I last saw him and his girlfriend about 4 months ago for 1/2 day so will be good to see him again, now that he is older he gives me hugs again, he went through that patch of 18-21 where he didn't hug me, but now he does.
I will go to the party as I had already said I would and my friends have said I have to, no sitting at home wallowing in self pity.
Haven't emailed H yet about the paperwork etc being done, will leave that for a bit.
Cas, H went on the application, but because he could not get to the agent before Friday to sign everything else, it has had to be done by just me.
The next couple of days and the weekend are going to be interesting. I will need to confirm with him if he is going to this party or not, so have to ask him, was thinking of saying "just a reminder that (friend's name) 60th birthday is this saturday night" and then see what response I get.
I can't assume anything of him at present, do you think this will be okay?
Now I just have to accept that the answer could go either way and I can't expect anything. If that makes sense.
Will also have to make sure I am very particular with my appearance that night as well, especially if H goes with me. Might even take some time out during the day and get my hair done, it always looks better when the hairdresser blow dries it.
I hope he does go but I will expect not to expect.
