AGM and houses
This week saw the Annual General Meeting of Bury Lib Dems, which took place at Elton Liberal Club and saw me elected Secretary of the local party. It was lovely to meet up with members I don’t see very often, as well as the familiar faces who I see rather too often… The new Executive Committee of the party has a big job keeping the momentum going over the next twelve months, especially since I failed in my first secretarial duty of recording the minutes of the AGM by completely forgetting to record my predecessor’s annual report. Never mind…
This weekend sees more Focus delivery, as well as me continuing my hunt for a new house in the ward. We recently sold our flat against the backdrop of the impending collapse of the housing market. I think this was quite an achievement, and certainly saved what little was left of my sanity after eleven months of trying to flog it whilst newspapers screamed about imploding property prices each and every day. So this weekend we are gleefully rushing around trying to re-invest in the very same teetering market by viewing about a dozen Prestwich pads.
Maybe by Monday I’ll have found my dream house. And to think, it will only take 25 years of hard slog to pay the bank twice the asking price in interest.
Oh what a joy it is to be alive.
