... while I'm trying to think of a word rather like 'integer' which means 'an incorruptable person' (needed for a reply to

WE ARE MOVING!!!!!
If you get a card, please don't say 'oh, but you can't count':
some of them are far away!! If
alex_holden doesn't get a card by the end of next week, could he email me?
The house is half-empty (we sit on dining chairs, laptops on laps, and have no fridge or dishwasher (gone to York) so we are planning on lots of 'farewell meals' at the Nepalese, the pub, etc. over the next few nights. Monday is pack-up of the Woking stuff, and we move in on Tuesday. I have to work (part of) both days, which is not impressing ExmemSec at all. He has gone very grey looking.
The grey colour may also come from the fact that the York property owners are hassling us, but cannot provide proof of planning permission, or building regs. sign off on the three extensions on the property.... ExMemSec and I have different attitudes to this (and to the hassles with buying the Woking property) based upon the fact that I want to be in Woking last month, and he wants to be in York last month, but I don't care if we don't get to York until after Easter, while he doesn't care if we don't get to Woking until after Easter.
The York pack up happened at very short notice on Wednesday (on Tuesday morning, we thought it would be today). So the cats suffered the full force - a day shut in a room, followed by Everything has Changed. Broggy has carefully pointed out to me that the wardrobe he liked sitting on top of is GONE. Replaced by a cardboard box of interesting nature, but Not the Same Thing. The poor dears are off to the cat prison tomorrow, so that they won't be any more unsettled. It did not help that Broggy managed to loose his collar two weeks ago, and the replacement arrived yesterday (reflective yellow, with the words "VET DIET DO NOT FEED" on it). He hates collars, and now has one with a jingly bell to boot. I am worried that he'll escape cattery or from new house, so he has to put up with it.
Anyway, what is that word?
