And I can't wait for that one day you're all going to die.

Off sick again with a lack of breathing. Gah. Our house is fabulously nice. The old one still needs cleaning and us exiting by Friday, though.

BT excelled themselves today: they installed the ISDN and broke the landline in the process. That they're completely separate lines just scores higher. That they offered me a fix date of next Monday when they're the ones who broke it scored an extra play or something. I hit the roof at the fellow with an Indian accent who said his name was Nathan and it will now apparently be fixed tomorrow.

After this success, I tried connecting to work using the ISDN (so I could claim to have worked from home today). Unfortunately, the Winders driver is gerfuxx0red.

So we (me, redcountess, arkady, eyeliner297) counted our pennies and went to the Pembury Tavern to leech their wifi for a Valentine's meal. Four operating systems around one table. Arkady is presently trying to beat her wifi into behaving.

I'm on call as of Sunday afternoon. I have no idea what I'm doing for my birthday, as Saturday clashes with fluffymark's. Gah! Anyone who wants to visit Monday night, feel free! Address in this post, and if you can't read that then email me at dgerard@gmail.com.

Good old BT! Nice to know they /still/ fuck up ISDN and phonelines. *numpties* *divots*

I hope the breathing returns to full efficacy soonest and your new house starts to feel like home soon as the memories of the last fade!

Our house is looovely! It really does feel much more like home already than the old one ever did. Liz and I particularly like the separate laundry, something very Australian and almost unknown in the UK.

Feeling like home is always a good start.

I had a student house with the washing machine in the large bathroom upstairs which was really good (German landlady). Most of the housemates used the downstairs shower, so it was effectively a laundry which I had baths in! I would so put a washing machine in a large bathroom again - the Europeans have the right idea about that!

You need to decide what you're doing so I can organise myself ;)

What were the four operating systems? Windows, MacOS, linux and ?

[reddragdiva]

That would be fantastic! Come around to the new house (see contact post) tomorrow morning and proceed with the girls from there ...

It was in response to "I have no idea what I'm doing for my birthday". I can't help house move tomorrow (I presume that's what you thought I meant) as I've more college lab time - sorry.

[reddragdiva]

Ooh bugger! Yes, college is MUCH more important. I shall message you re: Monday :-)

Whatever I do this weekend the chances of me having the money to get to Walthamstow on Monday seem really slim (Tuesday is pay day). It doesn't mean I won't, it just doesn't look very probable..
