Well, the removals guys arrived today. 10 hours early. The doorbell goes at the crack of 8.30 this morning, and I eventually wander down, hair in curlers, fask mask on, big fluffy rabbit slippers on my feet, to find 2 big, burly, tattooed removals men on my doorstep, apparently "ready for my load". "No kidding!", I replied, "You and a cast of thousands matey, but you'll just have to wait - I'm good for nothing until I've had a cup of tea and a smoke.". Seriously though, it was all news to me, as I wasn't expecting them this afternoon.
So, 3 hours laters (1 hour of "loading up"; and 2 hours of drinking tea, tutting, making "did you pack this yourself" comments, raising eyebrows, and generally getting right up my arse) we're done. And, for the record, there is nothing weird in hoovering round every room once they've loaded up the van! They have the address, the directions, phone numbers of every single person I've ever spoken to in London in case they get lost, and most importantly all my wordly possessions in the back of their rather large van.
Well, not quite ~all~ my possessions.... the contents of a small council flat in Hounslow are still scattered around my place waiting to be loaded into my car. There are some things I just can't do without*, not for 4 weeks or so while I'm living out of a suitcase at Neil's while I sort out somewhere new to live. As I said to one of my mates yesterday, there are lots of big hairy fat skinheads in London who, over the past 8 months, have quite forgotten who's the Daddy!
*84 Fred Perry shirts, 2 pairs of bleachers, 4 pairs of DMs, 2 pairs combat trousers, rubber butchers apron, waders, 8 jock straps of varying colours, 1 pair socks, 1 pair underwear, and a toothbrush |

Well, here we are. My first blog *yay me*
As I'm moving back to London I thought this would be the perfect time to start popping my random thoughts up on a blog somewhere. LiveJournal.com, you lucky minx, it's you! |
