IT being the Easter Bank Hols, Mrs Coopsweb demanded that I actually do some DIY... now usually I hate doing anything like that - but after stripping the god-awful wallpaper in the front room, I came across several messages left by the former owner of the house pencilled into the plaster... detailng all of her relationships and breakups over a 10 year period...

'I can't go on without her - Aug 11th 1999'

'To my sweetheart Mary of Tunbridge Wells...'

'When she left me, it was like a light went out in my life, 7 June 1997'
'My sweetheart, Mary'
These are just a few of the best ones - other include poetry, shakespeare quotes and even political statements 'Pity the tories are still in' was the best one.
I am now sure I bought a house from a serial killer and/or someone seriously in need of home decorating advice....
Still. Made me laugh - and I though that b3ta would enjoy it. Got two more walls to strip... god knows what I'll find when I get around to it!

Hmm, seriously considering taking a sledge hammer to most walls - only problem is half the house is held up with no-more-nails and polyfila.
Still - atleast none of it was written in blood... I hope!

She went to live with her new partner down on the South Coast... but after this discovery I'm expecting the Murder Investigation Team anyday now to dig up the patio...

i can just imagine her getting to her new house with her box of lightbulbs and being like "hmm, where shall i put all these lightbulbs, seeing as i actually had no need to bring them with me, as the person who vacated this house didn't maniacally take all them away"

..to anyone who can work out what the phrase "Mary of Tunbridge Wells, editor of Packing Week, the love of my life who left me!!" Means.
Seriously - I'm now thinking of digging up the garden myself, without waiting for the murder team...

"She was my north...etc" (same poem as the one from Four Weddings...)

"Sue, 1am, 2002" - I don't even want to think what this one means? (Hopefully not time of death or anything)

And possibly the most disturbing - "I miss her, I threw away the best opportunity I ever had...."
Mrs Coopsweb has demanded that I paint over all of this tomorrow, because it's freaking us out.. but just incase the police need evidence....
