Jake and Sarah

we've been in a few days now and STILL I don't know where the bloody light switches are!

at the mo we're just hanging around whilst our floorer finishes the hall and the edges etc. we're stuck in the lounge as he's sawing things into bits and leaving sawdust everywhere! It will be fine once he's finished when i can sweep up and make everywhere look lovely.

if he finishes ...

we wandered round our new town today and it was pretty uneventful but it's got lots of the usual shops, Boots, Clintons, shops selling shit, hardware etc- there's even a Wimpy! Thought they shut in the 80's!

anyway, we're on the net but my Mac is playing up with it's wireless. Stupid machine, they've gone downhill since they put Intel Inside. As much as I love Macs it's like "JUST FUCKING CONNECT LIKE YOU DID YESTERDAY!" all the time...

thank fuck I've got a network cable that I'm plugged into instead...

anyway I'm boring myself with this!

no mention of my tash... bloody Movember indeed

WHAT A DAY!

Up at 7:30 to get ready for the removal men who arrived at 9:00.

Sarah and I were running around doing last minute cleaning things before they arrived with Sarah dissing Henry Hoover every two minutes (Fair she borrowed her mates Dyson- Thanks Camelia! - and it got FULL after the Henry had been round!)

Removal men arrive and load van and they were even coerced into taking the cooker and fridge by the arrival of three crisp £10 notes

I go to new flat and set everything up (after sweeping though the entire flat, breaking our handyman's broom, dust from new floor see)

Sarah cleans the hell out of the old flat...

About 17:30 Sarah arrives and I'm STILL waiting for the BT man to arrive and set us up...

18:00 I ring BT and moan at them, they say the line's active I just need to find the MASTER SOCKET....

of course! NOT.

with 5 sockets in the new flat I eventually find it and it's in the hall... That's fine methinks as we're on N wireless now so it should easily reach the lounge.

NO it doesn't...

and the BT man told me the other sockets are probably not wired up and I'll have to get an engineer round and PAY him to connect them.

bollocks to that- I go down to the master socket and open it up. In it is a data/ telephone cable with about 9 loose wires...

OK so connect the blue wire with white stripes to curcuit 2

the orange wire (or brown one) to circuit 5

you get my drift... anyway with a bit of guess work I rush upstairs to try out the other sockets

THEY WORK!!!

lucky me

anyway Sarah's here with our KFC!

ALL day we've been packing and packing and packing. Sarah's got a bad cold but has soldiered on all day.

We've had 2 trips to OUR NEW FLAT to drop some stuff off. Long journey...

Now all my plants are safely stored in the flat, our flooring is nearly completed- just the beading around the edges to do and our current flat is a huge tip!

The Ebay verdict is now this:

Fridge- offered to closest bidder but not replied- people who mistakenly bid were really apologetic and all sorted though it's still not been taken up and is still here. Means we have a fridge 'til we get a new shiny Samsung Fridge/ Freezer
Cooker- Complete prick said couldn't pick up until Monday so I tried to cancel the auction which he refused saying I was "unreasonable".
Quick live chat to ebay and they said "insist he pays or cancels the auction" which I have done but no reply. Will try get the movers to take it tomorrow.
Tyres: Nothing. Nada. Fuck all. So i'm taking them with me and he can either pick them up or not.
Tumble Dryer: Buyer says "sorry got another one" even though they won the auction for £97. I'm going to take them to court to get the money. You bid on an item, you fucking pay for it. Will get the movers to take it to ours tomorrow.

fucking farce are ebay buyers- shower of shite the lot of them (apart from our 2 good buyers) though the two guys who came to take my TV texted me this the day after:

"Want your dick sucked?"

I never replied ...

fucking minefield is Ebay I tell you!

be careful out there ...

Out of 5 things we had on ebay only 2 have been sold and picked up.

The fridge man couldn't pick it up today

The tumble dryer person won the bid for £97 but doesn't want to pay

The cooker knob cannot pick up today

The tyre man is silent

FUCKING TOSSERS

I CLEARLY STATED on my auctions that everything being sold had to be picked up tomorrow.

Just sent reminders to everyone and right away some knob emails me that he never read the auction properly and he can't pick up until Saturday!

TIT

So I've emailed the Second Highest Bidder and offered it to him. Here's hoping they take the bait or I'm lugging a fridge down 4 flights of stairs!

I'm showing Dorian Gray tonight as our Head Projectionist is ill so I'm covering for them.

Sarah's at home with a cold so I can't wait to get home and give her a moustache cuddle

Got to work
rota done
LX pre rig done
came home
put oven cleaner in oven
washed up
had a Pot Noodle
bagged the plants to move them tonight to new flat
cleaned oven
wished I wasn't wearing my nice white T-shirt that is now brown

checked Facebook
Looked at Twitter
moved shelves to put in car
now blogged

I'm waiting for Sarah to come home so we can drop some stuff off at new flat.

I'm amazed by some stupid people on eBay. On ALL the items I'm selling I have in TWO places this statement " Items won must be moved by Wednesday 11th November."

SO I get a message:

" If I win the auction can I pick up on Friday 13th?"

NO!

FUCK OFF YOU STUPID STUPID STUPID PRICK! - Was what I wanted to say, what I did say was:

" I suggest you cancel your bid as I'm moving Thursday so won't be here. It was clearly stated on the auction"

Guess what?

He'd not even bid on the item.

Prick.

Most of my auctions finish tonight and they all have bids so fingers crossed all will be gone by Wednesday...

I'm not happy about my tash today. Everyone I've spoken to has tried not to laugh at my ginger tash. Yes ginger, it's getting worse as I realise I've got 3 fucking weeks of this left!
