Me: Look at you playing Cheeky Animal. Don’t you look adorable?
Nell: Those photos are from happier times.
Me: What do you mean?
Nell: When I still had my yellow chair.
Me: It’s still there, Nell. Kev’s just borrowing it at the moment.
Nell: I miss it.
Me: It’s only in a different position. When we move house everything will be different.
Nell: Talking of moving, you had better update everyone on the latest.
Me: I’m afraid the little cottage in the middle of nowhere didn’t do very well in the survey.
Nell: There’s a leak in the roof.
Me: Yes, and now we have had to commission another bigger survey.
Nell: Which can’t take place until 9th December.
Me: Exactly. So we’re going to have to try and be patient.
Nell: Which is something you find very difficult.
Me: You’re not much better.
Nell: But fortunately Chris is arriving tomorrow.
Me: Yes.
Nell: And that should keep you busy for a week.
Me: We’re still going to take him to see the little cottage.
Nell: Yes.
Me: Because he needs to know where we’re hopefully moving to.
Nell: And you need to tell the little cottage that you still want to buy it.
Me: We do. We just have to satisfy the mortgage people that it’s not falling down.
Nell: Yes.
Me: Things are never straightforward with us, are they?
Nell: It seems not.
Me: I’ve decided there’s nothing more I can do at the moment so I am just going to enjoy some family time with Chris.
Nell: That’s a very sensible decision.
Me: I thought so.
Nell: Just one sleep to go.
Me: It’s so exciting.
Nell: Please don’t track his flight all night.
Me: I’ll try my best.
Nell: But you still will.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
