It's a shame that they couldn't have taken over the business AFTER Christmas ... it would just add stress to an already crazy time. Maybe the current owner is staying on until Christmas to do the handover, and wants to start the new year afresh, or something? (Side note: I said previously he ownS several other stores; that's not right - he only currently owns this one:
).
If I was sWiRLiE, Winnie and I would've stayed put until after the silly season and Mac could've just commuted until mid-January or something ...
Soooo many people are fleeing Welly, and here they are moving there ... look, I really don't like to see anyone in a bad place (not even my BECs) ... I just hope that she doesn't loathe it. Welly is a LOT different to the seaside paradise she's moving from ... as many ex-Wellingtonians who've moved here, will tell you. (Please, Wellingtonians, don't interpret that as my being rude - I used to live there for many years, 20+, and loved it at the time).
Hey, at least the house is still there if they decide to head back ...

Guys, I'd be happy to start a new thread but I'd be terrible at doing a recap ... I'll check back in around an hour and if a new thread hasn't yet been created by then, I'll start one ... for someone else to add a recap.
