EVICTION


I've given a few out in my lifetime but have never received one. Last Saturday we were served with our first Eviction Notice. What good timing as we are packing our bags to go to the US this Friday. It appears that the landlord hasn't been making his payments. Even though our rent has been paid on time each month we will get the boot. How do you like that. With investors who've speculated on a rising market, the house of cards are falling in on them. I've been told that this is happening to a lot of renters here in England, where banks take back properties and they have to move. I acted quickly under a bit of stress, and was so lucky to find and secure a new flat which will work out fine. We had finally met most of our neighbors and made new friends, now we get to move for the 3 rd time here. So now things are sorted out and we can go on a much needed 3 week Holiday and enjoy ourselves. But wait, This story isn't over...Just when I think things can't get any worse, My wonderful wife informs me that she will host an all girls weekend at our Lake Chelan cabin and could I please find another place to stay on that weekend. Now this is what you call a real piss-cutter, and it's not one bit funny! I've been evicted 2 times in 2 different countries in the same week, and the week isn't over yet. What's next! An old friend recently sent me a book that taught me to find something positive no matter how bad your problems are. So I took this to heart and thought it would be a good time to do some skydiving again. With all of my bad luck out of the way, I'm sure nothing more could go wrong.

Funny, Funny, Funny about this notice. Anyway, just wanted to drop a line and say "hi" to you guys! Had a great time in Egypt on our Nile Goddess cruise ship. Thanks for your company and new friendship. Without it, I would have been a lonely. I hope to keep in contact with you guys, I do travel to London every now and then, since my uncle still lives there. Plus, when I make trips to India, usually I layover in London for a few days. I hope your flight back to the UK is safe and sound and you enjoyed our trip as much as I did. By the way, I saw yours and your daughter's Booke, skydiving video...fablous! I guess we have something in common, lol Well, nice chatting with you. My email is djcreem@hotmail.com (I used to be a DJ when I was younger in a niteclub...that's where the name came from..). With regards, Prem
