Not much writing going on in the Barbed Words house. My week can pretty much be summed up as:
Packing. Work. Packing. Coffee. Packing. Packing. Coffee. Taking child to doctors. Tea. Iced Bun. Chemists. Going to charity shop. Gardening. Gin and tonic. Pasta. Packing. Coffee. Packing. Charity shop. eBay. Tea. Gardening. Pizza. Top Gear. Top Gun. Driving 200 miles to drop off some crap valued possessions. Wine. Packing.
Repeat a few more times and that’s about it. What a marvellous week.
Yet again, the only bit of writing I managed was the Six Word Story Challenge. The prompt word was Dark. Lots of stories about scary places, coffins and death. My entry:
Bugger. The bloody bulb’s gone again.
Keeping it real, man.
Last conversation at school before I headed off for the joy that is the half-term break:
‘Miss, I’ve squashed my banana.’
‘That’s a shame, Harry.’
‘Not my banana, Miss, an actual edible one.’
‘Well, thank you for clarifying that…’
Perfect story for the ‘dark’ prompt. Hope you see a break from the packing soon, though it will unpacking that you have to contend with next!

Wow, sounds hectic! I would be frazzled after that week. Hope all the packing means that you are going somewhere nice!

Sadly not! Moving house – but not through our own choice 🙁

That’s a great conversation. Life is in the details, right? Best of luck with your move. There’s nothing good about doing all that packing except that you’ll eventually be done with all that packing, which is good.

Thanks, I was feeling quite productive until Suzanne reminded me that I’ll have to unpack it all at the other end!

Another laugh out loud moment!
I hope the worst of your packing is now behind you. What’s the only thing worse than packing? … why unpacking, of course 😉
So, have I forgotten something? When are you moving?

We’ve moved now – it’s not very exciting but we’re back in ‘our’ house that we last lived in four years ago. Feels very odd yet as if nothing has changed! Ps you’re quite right, the unpacking is much worse!!

You’re back in the same house?! Clearly there is a story there. Did I miss it?

Not really, decided to be sensible for once and try to save some money in our own home!
