Well, I'm moved.
My mountain of crap (note, previous photo contained less than half of said mountain) has been packed and transported from old place (down approx 20 stairs) to new place (up 46 stairs) with profuse and grateful thanks for the help given by Adrian, Helene, Chris, Neil, Charles and Stuart.
I have internet again, and cable tv, which would be even better if I had an actual TV to display it on.
I have a shower in my room that hasn't been installed properly and drips randomly like chinese water torture and a flatmate who reacted in a way that I didn't expect and wasn't prepared for when his bike was stolen.
It's been an incredibly long week. I've found this whole move incredibly difficult and I'm utterly exhausted - physically, mentally, emotionally, and there's still a shitload of unpacking to do, which would be going faster if it weren't for the fact that while I managed to avoid dislocating or otherwise damaging myself on the move day itself thanks to the above help, I then completely forgot that flu has made me all floppy, picked up a too-heavy box and promptly dropped it again when my shoulder came out and my wrist threatened to follow suit. Nothing seriouis, just a bit of soreness and the realisation that I'm going to have to change tactics for unpacking.
So yeah, I'm moved.
Sounds like you had fun then.
50p says your landlord decides he's selling up in six months, and you have to move all over again ...
Welcome to your new home?
There is something about the tone of your voice here that makes me want to offer virtual pats, and make soothing noises. And wonder how the flatmate did react to his stolen bicycle. Ditto Mike. Welcome?
Glad all went - ok, if not well, then at least smoothly, and without physical damage!
*hugs* Sounds like a Herculean Labour, completed prety much to plan.
Looking forward to the Knitting Party in your Garret room.
Glad yer moved, hope you get unpacked without further mishap.
When's the party? ;-)
Vitamin C. Drink Orange juice. It's all the rage in flu-victims.
Congratulations to your the change.
I hope the move will improve thomething in your life.
Geoff - it's a landlady, and if you've just jinxed this place, I will not only kill you to death, but I will do so by making you carry all this crap back down the stairs and to whatever place I go to next.
Mike - not exactly :)
Susoolu - thanks, and as for the other, I think "over" and "badly" are the operative words.
Lyle - well mostly. Better than last time though.
Nikki - soon - just as soon as I clear enough of the damned boxes for people to get at the stash :)
Gordon - my life is just one long party, can't you tell? ;)
OtherNikki - yes, but it makes your wee a funny colour if you drink too much of it.
Andrakis - thank you. I hope so too.
