We'll simply have to hold a housewarming do for you Gypsy!
Yay...you'll soon be in!
I like that - round walls...and chinese food only eight feet below...
dale ive got a fishing rod with a bucket on the end ill send it down with me order and they can put it in and ill just reel it up!!..yay!!!..
ooh ill get some noir shampers for the house warming shindig..
its got derelicté chic written all over it!!..
I am simply green with envy and thrileed for you! It sounds like my dream apartment (pictures please!), one I never had as I have never really managed to live on my own...
care for a roomie?
;)
oops, that would mean I still haven't lived on my own. Well hold out for next door for me...lol
hmmm ill check out next door..i think ts a chinese laundery..lol..
i will post some pics soon ..theres an old advertising board on the front of my flat and some one has graffitied a smiley face on it..could this be an omen?...
a most happy one apparantly!
Good luck with the move, Gypsy. Packing is a horrible task, but unpacking is fun. Enjoy your new home!
Unpacking IS so much fun...especially when the stuff being unpacked has been packed for years packed into the back of a packed closet packed with lots of stuff packed into packs of packing...

That's so cool Gypsy! I'm so very happy for you - the keys to your own door ;-)
It sounds really great with its round walls, and being on a corner, you'll get light from both sides - how lovely!
Derelicté chic too, huh...trez romanteek
Hey! my flat's over a shop too....but not so appealing, though. It just sells stuff for loos and bathrooms...lol...at least I won't have to go far if my pipes leak, hey? If I ever live in it myself, that is!
Let us know when the house warming is!
I think this calls for a housewarming party, and given the weather around here, we'll take any warming we can get.
Do you hang kitchen witches for good luck there (and I mean the cloth ones, not real ones)? If so, let me know where I need to send you one.
Yay what good news! This is great, now I have to come visit you! Housewarming with take away! Dancing jigs in gypsy's digs!
In your honor and in the honor of all the Gods, I have gone back to my gypsy self!
i've heard they just hang witches...
was it the gods or the goddesses?
GODDESS!
NETWORK DOWN!!! No blogging!!! Had to do this from a hotspot ;-)
sorry to all for silence and lack of comments, but I only have a couple of minutes left before shutdown ;-( Hopefully back on line tomorrow, but will also be on the slipway with my bargie too, so overalls on and hard at work. way hey!!
thankyou john..dale im sick of packing chucked loads out..aha val your flats lush...serious AM!? i'd love that!..yes the womens guild hangs real witches...
Dancing jigs in gypsy's digs..i like that string!...you are a gypsy..we are all goddesses..
good luck with the bargie val!!..
well i've had my first set back parts of the ceiling in the bedroom has fallen in but tis getting sorted tomorrow,(told you it was derelicté chic.. it won't effect me moving in by wed or thurs..he he i'm not even in yet and i've brought the roof down..
will castch up on your blogs soon..x..
BTW i've named it 'GYPSY TOWERS'..
I bought my sister a great kitchen witch for christmas a few years ago... she has lovely big shoes and a green dress and wire rimmed glasses...
Gyspy Towers... sounds like an excellent vacation spot... as long as you promise not to hang me on the first day!
Of course I am writing this from my cell on a computer I put together from smuggled ovaltine containers, spam cans and toenail clippings... the connection works only a few minutes a day as the mice keep taking away my foil gum wrappers I use to boost the internet signal... will persevere and await rescue...
gypsy.. congrats on the new place!!!! youll have to post pics .. soon as you unpack you camera!
~Lace~
i've got a stone witch hanging outside my house ...and a real one in my tree!..
stevie i've read your plight..help is on the way fear not!!!..
thankyou lace i will!...
Gypsy, yeah, totally serious. Send me a snail mail and I'll round up a local witch for you. Assuming they still make them around these parts. I'll have a look around this week. Every house needs one- keeps the bad spirits away.
Go You! (Oui, c'est moi, bet you'd given up on me, non?). Does the restaurant deliver, or do you need to go downstairs? If the mortgage ever gets too much, you can always offer to put an extra table or two in your front room for them - for a consideration. Perfect.
I am so envious. I haven't moved house for 18 years (never lived so long in one place and I'm going a little mad as a result). I just love that setting-up and playing house thing. Arrested development perhaps.
I expect to see fab derelicte photos soon, when I shall share your pleasure vicariously - and not for the first time.
derelicte chic towers
witches...stoned ones at that
round walls
chinese food underfoot
ceiling plaster mucking up the satin sheets
ahhh...home sweet home
Oh so that's why I have the witch hanging in my kitchen! I'm supposed to! I just knew she felt good there. Oh dear, I also have one overlooking my computer....
Congratulations on your new place!
Here's to a smooth transition and a great stay at Gypsy Towers.
all the best,
cherylann
Right either I'm suffering complete depression or your crappo gypsy specs you sold me for 20 euros are a faulty rip off, coz there aint no rose tinted world from where I'm sat, just a dark and silent world where nothing grows but contempt....
Can I come and live with you???? LOL :-/
Thankyou anne marie have e-mailed you..
MC this is the longest i've lived in a house..nearly 12 years!..i love moving too..since i left home at 19 i've lived in 7 houses..i will post some pics soon..thankyou..
dale derelicté sweet!..
string we are gypsy witches..
thankyou cheryl..
chants you had the glasses on the wrong way round ninny..and no!!..you can't move in..lol...i've got 5 cats and a tiny dog to keep me company..
BUMMER!! the whole ceilling has to come down!..*****ing ***t...****OCKS!...
nice deep breath..
Damn it!! I was thinking of camping out at yours until my inlaws dissappear.....
Then again, the thought of Darren doing the housework in "his way" even for just one day is perilous enough to make me want to stay and ensure it is done properly LOL...
Only one solution I think, emmigration.... Dale! You have a nice house, fancy a family of 3 refugees in your basement???? LOL
LOL Chantal!
We did have a family of 3 refugees last spring!
Oh Gypsy!
You'll have to camp out in the livingroom?
The kitchen?
The bathroom?
Downstairs in the fresh bokchoy, water chestnuts and chicken balls?
...that really is a bummer, tho
they can't fix it till they get insurance to assess the damage so i'm going to move in anyway and get it fixed in a couple of weeks..
chantals buying this place yay!!..
my house is going to a good home...
i'll catch up on everyone soon..
Good luck for tomorrow, keep in text, I put a message on my blog for you :)
Gypsy, s'meee Vallypee, so sorry to hear bout your ceiling, but you're right, just go for it and move in, and once the ceiling's done you won't look back. This flat and this move represent more than just a bit of plaster now doesn't it?
We're back online again, and I had the good news that Argie's bottom is just fine. Just needs a small sticky plaster on the rudder and a couple of other small jobs, but no worries, it's good for another six years now as long as I maintain it.
Chants seen your post thanks..x..
you will be sitting here soon :0)..
val yes it does mean a hell ov a lot this move..glad argies buttocks..er i mean bottom is firm..
well this is it me last night in this house..ahh the memories..hmmm..not all good but some good...the final link in the chain has been broken..im off to gypsy towers..sweet!!..
i'll be off line for a bit so don't you lot dare have a good time without me...if i come back and find you lot have been up to mischief i'll put you all in detention..(yes you as well anne marie, being a teacher is no excuse)..
so in the words of the terminalator.."ooh! me back"..or was it "i'll be back"..
cue the trumpet for the last post..du duuu duduudud du well you know the rest..
(sniff) byeeeee!!!..
Good luck with your new place!! Maybe if you smell Chinese food all the time, you'll never want to eat it again....but it's just TOO convenient, being just downstairs, for that to ever happen! We'll have to see some pictures when you're all unpacked, eh??
A new place to live is so exciting!
xo
sounds awesome, enjoy, when is the housewarming party?
Collapsed ceilings are taking the distressed / derelicte look too far Gypsy - show some restraint girl!
Anne-Marie - better get that witch over to Gypsy pronto. She needs all the help she can get.
Come, you must have a see at my latest post!
We'll celebrate your return in fine style, wee one! Good luck with moving....hope you have some hunky derelicté chic removals men to help you ;-)
Alas for you, Gypsy, I am having a dull day at work, and I've been singing rubbish songs to myself to keep awake. Here is yours:
ODE TO GYPSY TOWERS(derelicte version of an old English folk song):
Gypsy’s roof is falling in, falling in, falling in
Gypsy’s roof is falling in, my dark lady
Build it up with lemon curd, lemon curd, lemon curd
Build it up with lemon curd,
Will it work?
Maybe.
Lemon curd will drip and flow, drip and flow, drip and flow
Something heavier’s the go,
P’raps old gravy?
Get some vintage shampain in, shampain in, shampain in
Get some vintage shampain in
Drink it down, baby.
Shampain sure will dull the pain, dull the pain, dull the pain
Til you wake and look again,
Insurance? No, ‘fraidy!
Hmmm - think we'd all be better off if I'd fallen asleep after all. Hope you're making progress, anyway.
LOL...ROFL Margie, that's brilliant! I love it when you're bored ;-)
Wow Gypsy - I'm so happy your home is going to a good home...
Congratulations Chantal!
Brilliant Margie Down Under!
Hope it's all going well, wee one! Chill some Noir Shampain in preparation for the relief once you've finished unpacking!
Are you all right, Gypsy? We had a huge thunderstorm the night before last, and I woke up in the middle of a dream where you were trapped under a large pile of soggy plaster. No, really, I'm serious!
I know you warned us you'd be off-line for a while, but the broadband connection is a priority! (Mind you, if you haven't got it, you're not reading this, so it's an exercise in futility all round.)
Anyway, I shall send Hope-It's-All-Going-Well alpha waves and hope for the best.
Hope the move is moving along well.
xx
...you're still dodging the blog police!
We are thinking of yooooooooo!!!! Halloa!!!! Yooohoooo!!!!!
xxxxxxxx
The move went well apart from we lost Alfie for a day!!! But I managed to locate the duke under a pile of braken at the bottom of the garden and he was bunged straight into the cat carrier and shipped to the new Gyppo Towers with haste.
Her move went well I'm pleased to say and she's settling in great, her house is utterly fabulous she has it looking homely and chic already, I am very proud, I am round there tomorrow for soup and such so I will pass on all your good wishes.
But i'm sure she'll be back online soon enough with more interesting tales from her new abode.
Thanks all, chaz xx
Thanks for the update Chaz - nice to know all is progressing smoothly ... and that Alfie is now safe and happy!
Thanks, Chantal!
Looking forward to pics of the derelicte Towers...
xx
Dale
Chaz!! Thanks for the upadate. So glad to know the move went well, and that Alf reappeared. I'll bet Gypsy'd made her new home lovely, and can't wait to see the pics.
Miss her...;-(
Frau Gypsy where are you??? Have you fallen into a large vat of bok choy?
What is bok choy anyway? And does it have bits of your boudoir ceiling in it?
Miss you!
Bok choy is like bamboo shoots...
but green and leafy
Hey Gypsy, hope you're overhead isn't running too high...
Rache you can see my post for bits of her former boudiour cieling - LITERALLY LOL!!!
Well she should be online pretty soon, shes going cold turkey with no internet, and she is actually having early nights for a change!!
It's just not the same without you...everyone is going through withdrawls...hurry up gypsy and get back to blogland where little pixies and strange faces shall amuse your every whim whist dancing on stiletto heels and acting quite grim!
Hope things are OK with you wee one? How's the platerer? Suitably derelicté?? ;-)
Hope everything is going well! Miss you, come back soon OK!
cherylann
I believe Gypsy's gone to great lengths to avoid being cornered and hijacked by the blog police...
All is derelicte val, the wee one is not so wee anymore!! Infact he already wieghs 5lbs the nurse thinks and will be around 8 at birth - IF I stick to this diet they have given me, I have gestational diabetes see I only just found out so now I need to avoid sugar n stuff to ensure he doesnt grow too large!! :-/
Sorry I totally read that last comment wrong Val!! I thought you were talking to me and the wee one ha ha - I need to get some sleep, just ignore me :-S
Gypsy, I found that derelicte polar marine you've been looking for!
Gyspy oh Gypsy,
Where have you gone?
For your words of quick wit
And your laughter I long
(Though I have never heard it
In your words it appears
And it truly is music
To my cyberspace ears)
We all miss you like raindrops
That nourish new buds in spring
And despair you have left us
With no gypsy song to sing
Make haste and return to us
From your new derelicte pad
If you talk to us soon
We promise not to be sad!
xxx
Stevie
Stevie, what a wonderful poem! I hope Gypsy comes back to read it soon!
..........miss you.....sniff.....snivvel......
Stevie!!! That's such a great poem!! I wish I'd written that!
My my, this is extending into quite a vacation! You didn't take off with Papa Lazarou did ya?
Update she is still awaiting reconnection from BT but her computer is hooked up and ready to go and this week we are filming a tour of Gypsy Towers for y'alls pleasure, should be interesting....
Keep the faith, the return of Noir is almost nigh.......
The Return of the Gypsy and Other Dark Tales!
Can't wait!
Thanks Chaz...we'll be looking forward to it with baited breath!
sigh....
sniff...
(pouting now, most sadly)
Coooo-ee!
Actually I know that's what Australians are supposed to say when they're looking for someone, but I've never heard it done. Perhaps I only hang out with people who have a decent sense of direction.
Hope the superstructure is now repaired to your satisfaction and you're girding the loins for a triumphant return!
(Who did Gypsy get to do the film, Chaz? I quite fancy the image of Alfie in a Director's chair with jodhpurs and a megaphone).
Ha ha ha @ jodphurs. I am supposed to be shooting it for her with our new digi cam but i'm still working out how to use it!!
Anyway quick update the builders are at Gypsy towers today as we speak repairing the cieling in what will be her bedroom and computer room so she is still unable to hook up her pc to the phone point at this moment but hopefully work should be complete either tonight or tomorrow :)
Yay! Gypsy's finally getting plastered! :P
just checking...
i have 2 pairs of jodhpurs
Guys, I am beginning to think the Gyppo has ditched us... you, you don't think she has... gulp... was caught and converted by the Mormons?
Nah, more likely she's off flitting about with the Ferrions, recruiting, shopping for Alfie sized jodhpurs and megaphones and such. She'll be back.......won't she?....sniff.......oh of course she will be.......right?
Quote: Alfie sized jodhpurs and megaphones
AH HA HA HA HA HA!!! :)
Her builders are arsign around as they do so your guess is as good as mine as to the date of return but it can't be much longer! :(
should we call her solicitor, that Rippenhoff guy on her profile? She left his number... surely not a fake...
Hello, how are yuo? Hope all is well. xx grace
Right folks a quick update! Her cieling was repaired and completed yesterday it looks great shes been on all day cleaning her new Noir Boudoir as I dubbed it lol and shes been having alot of trouble with her internet service provider but (fingers crossed) is scheduled for full re-connection tomorrow so hold on guys n girls for the wait is almost over!!!
Oh and yes Stevie I tried contacting that old cad Rippenhoffe but it would seem he is hold up in a court battle in Cancoon where a wild goat tore off his scrotum and sold it on Ebay they next day...
