Walthamstow flat hunting was productive. The first flat was small but otherwise lovely, and we're going for it. Stopped by the Dev on the way home and, of course, was there for hours - j0 to avalon_bliss, tintintin, greap, perverse_idol, gothicbarbiecat, cyberpunkgrrl, darcy_, Fallen, Rachel, probably a zillion others I've forgotten ... The camera decided to play up, but came good by the end of the evening. One day someone will get a pic of gothicbarbiecat not pulling a face.

By Saturday evening I'd worked out I'd caught arkady's cold. *blerk* Up far too early Sunday morning to fetch redcountess. We walked several miles back and forth through the bowels of Heathrow Airport but eventually found coffee, cake and a taxi home.

I proceeded to sleep all day. Then sleep all night. I am only at work now so as to save on phone calls from my coworkers. KILLL MEEE.

But I have the girl here!

Update: Liz says she's making dinner tonight, since I'm even sicker than she is. These Australian mail-order brides are good value.

Whee! We are moving to Walthamstow too! We don't know where but it is somewhere! Er! We can have a dinner party with you and your new found missus! Cool! Exclamation! MARKS!! A!! GO GO!!!

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

~blinks~ Well, well done my subconscious for remembering that it was this weekend that she was arriving back in England, anyway! ~shakes head~ Dreams are *weird*.
Anyway, yay! Hope to see/meet you both soon!

Congratulations on finding somewhere to live

[reddragdiva]

We'll see if we get it. I have a stack of forms THIS high, wanting reference checks down to a sample of DNA I think.

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

You lived at our place. We can reference you.

[reddragdiva]

Yes, and I lived there for six months! Really!

[marnameow.livejournal.com]

Of course you did. And paid your rent on time perfectly. And left no chaos behind you. And.... What else are these folks usually looking for?

But I have the girl here!

Raarr!

[themadcatlady.livejournal.com]

Raaa! No more abstinence for you now the girlie is here!

And hey - where are those pics?!

[tintintin.livejournal.com]

Pics? Argh!

/me anxiously awaits horrendous photos of me ;)

[tintintin.livejournal.com]

Eh? I didn't take any pics... :/

[themadcatlady.livejournal.com]

I meant David, not you. Sorry. I get confused some times... :)

[tintintin.livejournal.com]

Ah, gotcha. :)

[arkady.livejournal.com]

Heh. I found out this morning that my boss left a message on the voicemail of my old phone saying I was expected in for the late turn duty today instead of the day off I was supposed to have. Blech. Fortunately I'm not feelingas rough as you probably do right now; if you're feeling anything like the way I did on Friday you soooooo should not be in work! Grr. Maybe I'll drop in at Knightsbridge on the way home and strangle cow-orkers for you. Hah. That'll teach them to be so pathetic and drag a sick Diva into work because they're too incompetent to tell their arses from their elbows!!

Anyway. Glad she's home safe and sound and you're back together again the way you should be! Fingers crossed all goes well for the Walthamstow flat, and hope Liz is feeling OK this morning. :-)

[reddragdiva]

No, no, you're in recovery. If you go in you might kill them all or something. Best sleep it off. You don't use that phone any more, anyway.

sleep++

[arkady.livejournal.com]

Oh, I quite agree, sleep most definately ++. Shame Michael and Rob were so intend I shouldn't get any last night. So I'm currently operating in stupid time (http://www.arkady.org.uk/Stupid.html).

I can't very well get out of this shift right now (though I am currently looking in my contract, because I'm pretty certain that phone calls at home are a no-no anyway - it's deemed officially to constitute harassment, yay, gotta love them union dudes - and that they have to give me a certain amount of notice of a shift change - a voicemail left at 6pm the night before does not constitute adequate notice!!), but I've made it clear I have been very ill and that if I pass out at work I'm sueing their asses off because I'm not 100% recovered yet. And that I may well lose my voice.

Oh, YUCK!! *makes retching sounds* A sweaty, stinky Michael just emerged from his reeking pit of a bedroom trailing a scent of stale alcohol and sweat!! Ugh.

I think I shal go in and dramatically collapse, thus guilt-tripping all concerned that they have dragged me forth off my sickbed. I think just recalling this stench which is currently assailing my delicate nostrils should be enough. Eurgh.

Excuse me whilst I go vomit....

[themadcatlady.livejournal.com]

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES????

[tephramancy.livejournal.com]

Post them bloody pics, you git!

[damien-wise.livejournal.com]

Glad that Liz made it safely and you're not seperated by thousands of kilometres anymore! :)

(*waves* to Redcountess)

Fingers crossed for getting this flat you've applied for. 'luck! :)

Can't see myself taking an overseas holiday any time soon...any chance you two will be honeymooning in say, ooooh, two months? Hey, I hear Walhalla's really nice at that time of the year... ;)

[redcountess]

Walhalla? We wish!!! At this stage, next year will be the earliest we can afford to come back, so maybe we can coincide that with Walhall if it's on again.

Tiny Flats for Big People

[tcpip.livejournal.com]

You have a run of these don't you? I've always wondered how someone of your stature can possibly feel comfortable in such tiny flats, terrace houses and the like.

Maybe it explains the three coffee, five sugar short blacks in the morning.

Re: Tiny Flats for Big People

[reddragdiva]

Imagine somewhere the size of Perth with ten times the population density.
