Shutting down

So, seeing as these 3months away, 1 month back isn't exaclty working out as initially planned (certain day in September 2001 changed my location somewhat), thought it's about time to sort the house out. Made sense if I was coming back, but the poor things been empty 2 years apart from a week and a half at chrimbo. So, flogging, selling up, moving out.
Feels wierd that a safety net is disappearing as I always had home to come back to. But it's going well over here, and paying a small fortune for renting with a house in Blighty seemed daft. Mum's been living in it the last month or so to make it look lived in, got people interested, stuffs been signed, fingers crossed the exchange rate is as silly when I sell it as it is now. Thing is, though food/drink/flights/clothes/stuff's cheap over here, a place to live is ridiculous. Doesn't help living on an island I guess. So from a 3 bedroom with a garden and a shed, to a small box, its got me thinking about the value we put on a square inch of land. Well, not even a square inch, more cubed. I tell you, if you put the Freemo flats in the middle of Miami, you'd be getting 1.5million dollars a hovel.
Back in blighty when the house sells to empty the place, sign papers, see family. Take it easy peeps.
