Stepping Away From The Brink

[poliphilo]

We've taken the house off the market.

Thank goodness for that!

I was stood on the brink, arms going like windmills and then I stepped back.

I like this house. I like this neighbourhood. The thought of leaving made me utterly miserable.

I had intense, grungey dreams last night. I guess it was the tension working its way out of my system. At one point I woke with a start because someone had just thrown a dead cat at me. The cat was stiff with rigor mortis, bent in a half-moon shape.

Instead of moving we'll get a small mortgage and do this place up. New carpets. New windows. New wardobes.

yeah- this is nice to know. i'm glad- you have put a lot of time and creativity and history into that house. think of all the cats buried in the garden. you want ghosts- they're you're own personal ones!

it would suck to leave it behind.

mortgage though- that means you sell part of the house, then buy it back slowly? and you're going to use the mortgage money to do it up? but how are you ever going to buy it back?

It'll be a very small mortgage and we'll use part of it to clear our existing debts. The repayments won't cost any more than we're paying out at present.

what debts do you have? other work you did on the house? holidays? LJ costs? ;)

Yeah, little things like that. Ailz does the finances; she's expert at juggling money.
