Now we...

...start!

Official news and no more speculation. Harry Arter, Darren Ambrose, Svetoslav Todorov, Nicky Weaver, Aswad Thomas and Rashid Yussuff, have all been released by Charlton at the end of their contracts. There have been rumours and unofficial details linking Darren Ambrose with the team across south London, and good luck to him there...he'll need it! It's being officially stated that both Ashwad Thomas and Harry Arter have held talks with Woking and have agreed terms pending medicals. Nicky Weaver had already said he was sure he was out...the others you could take a good guess at.

Those in talks for new contracts are Jonathan Fortune, Matt Holland, Darren Randolph and Zheng Zhi...and those I'd love to keep and hope that it works out for all of us. Matty had said he'd like a new contract...and we knew ZZ was in talks with his agent and Charlton already.

A missing name is Josh Wright, who has actioned a clause in his contract to be able to speak to other clubs. Why? Maybe he feels helping Gillingham (on loan) to gain promotion to the same division as his home club gives him a right to more money. At least that's what his Dad is saying to the papers... Fine, if he doesn't want to play for us...bye!!

Youngsters Jack Clark and Alex Stavrinou have both been offered their first professional contracts.

Also reported is a impending offer from Plymouth for Therry Racon...he is wanted by the Pilgrims for a cut-price offer, because we're cash strapped! (I wasn't lady-like then) He is, at present, away playing for Guadeloupe...

The club are looking at bringing new names in, with some being touted in the papers.

Season tickets...the club have reported 58% had renewed their season tickets for the up-coming season by Friday, and had until Monday 1 June to gain their usual seats. I must admit here I am one of the 42% that haven't...not because of not knowing about the club, or their relegation, but more about not knowing where the hell I'll be by then...or how much my move is going to cost...and other things...but....

I have had news this morning, and at last the lady in Norfolk has agreed her purchase, with the seller accepting a reduced offer because of the work needed to be carried out. Now...at last, she is going to fill in the forms...we've only waited ten weeks for those...and with luck we can all sign a contract within a couple more weeks...

Even if it hadn't or doesn't happen, our loft, garage and shed thank us...they can now breath...

I know what...

...I should be doing, I should be making beads, but it's impossible! Even if I could concentrate they'd go wrong, and I'd be picking holes in them after. It's best not to even start!

It's a week since we had the call saying the garden was too small, but our persistent offerers had been in asking again about things. After all the too-ing and fro-ing between us and the agents, both ours and those in Norfolk, they were told the facts, they're not getting it for nowt and this is the present value taking in all the reductions we and Norfolk have made!

I was fine all the time I knew they were away, but they should be back, and I can't see any reason if the answer is a blunt no, why delay in letting everyone know. If it's a yes, or maybe...the same goes. We're the perfect little chain...they're in rented having sold a year ago, we know what we want, where we want isn't being lived in, and what she wants is totally empty...we are all waiting for them. I had the Norfolk agent phone yesterday, hoping...I told him, he'd be the second person I'd phone...after my husband, I promise.

But if all fails and it is a no, our agent came and took some fresh photos, after the decorating we needed to revamp the details...and it's all up on site, and much better for it.

I've even read all the blogs I love today...now I'll discover something else to do...and how many cups of tea can you drink?
