The witch referred to here was the Real Estate Agent who made the move of the Family Wevel-Pyatt a little more of a night-mare than it had to be for no better reason than she could. Tim knew that he needed to stop obsessing about her behaviour when, one night, he realised that he was lying awake working out how he could murder the witch and get away with it. (The plan was never put into action ... honest.)

Eventually it all worked out, we got evicted (as we wanted so that we would get a removal at government expense) and we purchased and moved into our own house in Canberra.
