flame - what happened with the bloke that sent you the pof msg?

aurorastargazer · 02/04/2011 21:45

nmn - here you go

i think monty has know celtic a while Grin

the move could have gone a lot better Grin
deep breath ... vimes had the flu so couldn't help bless him, my brother was on a go-slow so we were alternating between me killing him, him killing me and kind of getting on. so slow had to extend time for van til sunday lunchtime, woke up sunday morning with migraine, was ill as soon as i stood and had to work through it (had no choice Grin), extended time for van yet again, got all but last load done; brother had to go back to manchester for work Sad. extended time for keys monday - the tenants were ready to go in - they had to wait til tuesday afternoon. so asked vimes to help - he did on tuesday (his day off) got two loads in car, then he decides i can sell cooker ( iwa sgoingt o leave it - he crowed all day about the fact i got £80 for it), get the 3sets of drawers and crowed about saving me money again - the git Grin. not sure if this is karma or not but he got blow out on one tyre and ended up forking out for that one plua another one that needed doing anyway (for mot) and tracking for 2tyres. was painfully expensive.

all done. just the reverse process now. been in the new house a week (although i have stayed with vimes a few times) adn i'm still tripping over boxes Sad am sooooooooo not good at moving house Grin

aurorastargazer · 02/04/2011 21:47

perhaps i should've said that vimes went back to work on the monday and was definitely well enough to help me move BlushGrin

aurorastargazer · 02/04/2011 21:49

nmn - are you on my fb already?? i think i know your last mn name but not too sure Grin

NOmeansNO · 02/04/2011 21:50

i am ace at moving house. I have boxed up all the wardrobe. still on hangers. i will literally just open box and handup. kids drawers,etc for chest of drawers will get cling wrapped in a few days time. and just slid back into place.

i seperarte the stuff into boxes of appropriateness. i.e all paperwork will stay together in boxes which can be stacked. then can be left tbh. as i will only keep one box worth of stuff which get used all the time.

books.. hmm.. there is too many of them now. they are one thing which needs to be packed and unpacked. and i cling wrap cd racks too . and usually they wait to get unwrapped . just shoved intop place cling wrapped for a few weeks till i need a cd/dvd out them.

aurora - i have the same surname as kdk/mzd i am on her fb too and have a red jacket on in my profile pic. be down the bottom of her list of friends. but i was sure you were already on my fb. maybe i am wrong and getting you all Confused

aurorastargazer · 02/04/2011 21:53

i had packed boxes in the rooms that i wanted them in in the new house - didn't quite work that way though

NOmeansNO · 02/04/2011 21:58

that works with certain things. like utility/cleaning stuff as they would end together in same area. bathroom stuff i stuff in the laundry basket as they can live in there for a couple of weeks without visitors noticing you haven't unpacked Grin

trick for the kitchen stuff i find is make sure the kitchen boxes are small enough to fit into cupboards. then if stick them in cupboards and unpack over the weeks to follow. then place looks tidy. and it doesn't annoy with all boxes lying about

aurorastargazer · 02/04/2011 21:59

Grin i should have asked you to help me pack/move/unpack GrinGrin

theonly problem is that i have to rearrange everythign now

NOmeansNO · 02/04/2011 22:18

it takes me weeks to prepare for a move. i will do mine on sat in 2-4 hours for all items moved. i will them probably have it unpacked by the saturday night. i have got an army of helpers too. i have promised food and beer after.Grin

oh and my sis will take the kids,and their toys and bedding. they leave first thing in AM, they go for lunch while we put the kids beds in first, and then they go to house and do that for me to keep them from bugging me. they make up their own beds. and get their own toys sorted. so i dont do kids bedrooms. they are only 3 +5. but if big enough to play with the toys, they are big enough to move them into where they want in their own room.

Off here for a day and completely behind. Gah. Will try and catch up later.

I am back off POF. The Carrot thing has spiralled again and it is just pointless atm. I was out last night, and he sent texts to meet up - he never does that, we don't do going out, we don't do friends meeting etc. He ended up taking a wasted friend home before we met up though. The point about him is though - he doesn't lie. He will cancel things honestly saying he doesn't want to come (ok, last minute at times), he will avoid saying something, but he doesn't lie (bloody annoying at times as the honesty can be a smidge painful, but at least I know when he is avoiding saying something). Anyway. The whole thing with his sister, and now him actually wanting to meet up with me (I didn't suggest it as he always says no) has made me all yearny again. I was doing so well, I had settled into us, I was interested in other men. Now I am back to 3 months ago. Damn him.

Damn PM.

Damn Mr Big.

Damn them all.

ninah · 03/04/2011 11:00

monty, yay! Grin Envy

Watching Louis Theroux atm.

aurorastargazer · 03/04/2011 21:51

i feel bit crap Sad said to dd's dad by text earlier that she wanted to see him and he starts his new job tomorrow - what's the betting that he ahsn't (again) told them there is a court order that he asked for in order to see his daughter more regularly and kept to less that 40% when he was working fulltime last year and still paid only £5 week maintenance? i feel Sad for dd and Sad for myself because will get very little break and no chance now of getting decent job so i can support me and dd (oh and see dp regularly too) better.

so i feel a bit sorry for myself, am sorry it all landed on you sin

aurorastargazer · 03/04/2011 21:51
