The Laughing Wolf

Almost there…

To quote Billy Connolly….. Jesussufferingfuck

Everytime I look around the apartment and think.. “Just another hour or so”, I discover something else that has been bloody forgotten.

Still, it would appear that I have been blessed by <INSERT DIETY OF PREFERENCE HERE>, as my friends are pretty bloody amazing.   Let’s recap my last few days:

Friday:

• Work as normal - Finish at 12:30 to visit Docs and then on to packing
• 16:00 - Collect van (Eat ham roll)
• 19:00 - Alan, Darryl and Michael appear - Load van with *almost* everything that is going to the UK
• 21:00 - Van packed, we have a quick beer.
• 22:00 - I get back into it
• 00:00 - Go to bed

Saturday:

• 06:30 - Wake up, more packing
• 09:30 - Paul, Scott, Tim and Alan appear to move stuff to new apartment
• 11:00 - Paul + Alan sort out dismantling of various furnitures that I didn’t have time to do
• 15:00 - Me, Scott and Tim head to Angelas where we unload the van (for 2 days!!)
• 17:00 - Drop off Van, I continue working
• 18:00 - Simon lends me his car
• 18:30 - More work, moving bits and bobs to new apartment
• 23:00 - Make final trip of the night (including cats now) to new apartment (Eat crisps)
• 00:00 - Bed

Sunday:

• 08:00 - Wake up
• 08:30 - Realise clocks have gone forward - It is actually 09:30
• 08:35 09:35 -  Make coffee, phone Mel and Jamie (Eat Pringles)
• 10:00 11:00 - Mel and Jamie arrive, we head to apartment
• 10:20 11:20 - Begin working
• 15:30 16:30 - Break for first half of Liverpool v Everton (Eat Pizza)
• 16:45 17:45 - Head back and carry on - Alan arrives
• 20:30 21:30 - Mel leaves, give Jamie lift home
• 21:30 22:30 - Get to new apartment
• 22:30 23:30 - Bed

And then I got up to be at work this morning :-(  - DAMN YOU DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

If you look back at that, thanks have to go to (in no particular order):

Alan, Scott, Tim, Mel, Jamie, Darryl, Michael, Paul and Simon

Without you guys….well, I am probably still trying to lift the first box.  I owe more beers than I can reasonably buy right now…

Things that happened :

• I got fed up and started throwing stuff away that could have been sold (Sorry Sarah/Lesley)

• Darry and Michael broke the lift on Friday night, fortunately it was repaired just before the washing machine move on the Saturday

• I made a deliberate detour to bauhaus to get a new toilet seat, bought 3 other things and forgot the toilet seat

• I arrived at Angelas to discover way more stuff of hers to be transported than I thought - I panic and start thinking about what else can be thrown away.  I then stop panicking and decide to rent another van at the end of April or May.
• Paul, when asked to unplug my computer and keep all the cables together with their devices, puts cables and devices in separate bags.
• External HDD2 and Scanner blow up when I inevitably plug the wrong power into each of them
• This morning I couldn’t figure out how to get hot water out of my new apartment shower
• Oh, and I just had a phonecall from Simon, I didn’t drop his car keys off, IDIOT

I am currently out on my feet and have more to do tonight.  Once again Jamie is coming to the rescue.

Best. Friends. Ever
