Can't wait.

Now, normally I'm a very patient person.


No, really.




Honestly. I am, OK.
If I have to wait for something, be it in the post, or simply saving up I'm cool with that.
I can sit idly by on platforms waiting for a late train, though this is mainly as I'm probably happily occupied within my own head.
Even traffic jams don't get me in a fuss if I'm in the car.
But all these things are certainties; things that are going to happen or items I know I am goign to get.


However, now I am sitting here bugging myself up the wall whilst waiting on the possibility of someone saying yes so I can get something I want... next week.

Does anyone else get twitchy waiting for any single particular thing?

What you getting??

Depends on what it is... I mainly hate waiting in doctors surgery's as time seems stop in them.

Hopefully a saddle for my horse.
It's a really nice treeless one (a Heather Moffett one for the equine nerds out there ) that are normally about £1k - but there's one on eBay for £600.
Problem is it ends this evening and I know I don't have the money...

... but I will by the end of next week.

Sure, I could bid and then bum about delaying with posting a cheque etc, make weak excuses by email and basically faff until the middle of next week then send one...

... but I just can't bring myself to be that type of person.
So instead I've emailed them explaining up front why I haven't bid yet and would they either a) wait a week until I send a cheque, b) accept a post dated cheque or c) wait a week and as they are only a couple of junctions up the M1 I'll pop up and give them cash on collection.

Now, I trust me. But I know it's a slim chance that they will. In the mean time it's sitting there with no bids on and taunting me.

I waited a whole month for my exhaust to arrive from the states, the whole time being told it would be with me the next day.

To tease me even more they sent me the wrong one first time around.

When the right one eventually got to the UK the delivery company lied and said they had tried to deliver it to my work (Where I had been sat everyday for a month watching vans come and go) In the end I just went to the depot and picked it up my self I got that impatient.

Worth the wait though.

I'd have just bidded and faffed about a bit.

That's because you, sir, are a tease.
A consumate tease.

I do try... now I just need to dig out the fake ebay ID and bid on all the 600 quid saddles I see.

HERE, after all, I wouldn't want you to go to too much effort.


Aaaany way - I don't mind waiting in the Doctor's. I have more than enough fun making up diseases that I think the other people in the waiting room are suffering from.
