I SPENT ALL DAY YESTERDAY fussing about how to move in to this new place. Did three runs there and back with hamsters etc on the bus. The whole thing feels so impossible what with televisions etc. I could barely cope with an empty hammy-filled aquarium what with 2 buses and endless traipsing from stops to houses at each end. Last night I slept like a log in my new bed with the radiators blasting ... couldn't force myself to move till past two in the afternoon, which is seriously late for me. I'm often up by 6 or 7am.This morning, over a cup of tea and methadone I reluctantly looked inside myself and found some inner strength. The type of moral "fibre" and mettle I hate grasping hold of and harnessing. But I had to.
Because I don't even have bus fare till Monday, I'd decided the best way of emptying the old premises in the mean time would be by doing endless mini journeys. I reckoned 18 or 24 would do it, which I divided into 6-8 per day over three days. I've only done one today. Then I felt exhausted and rang my Mum on my last tiny bit of call credit. (Yes of course in an emergency I'm out of practically EVERYTHING.) Thank God she was there. They're coming tomorrow to move me properly by car! Hurrah!!!

And in celebration this is my favourite "song"
Top one for sound, bottom for visuals...
Cygnus X: Orange Theme (Bervoets and De Goiej Mix)
If it's dance music it has to be really tranced-out, really uplifting or really hard...
If you've ever wondered why people drop the "mindblowing" drug LSD, it's because you can walk down the park and all is glittering with fractals like this...
(Push Remix)
On a more "festive" theme, here's an American ad for Walmart (which I have heard of) featuring some "famous" lad called Jesse (who I've not heard of). Have you?

I shall tell of that tomorrow eve when (hopefully) all is done...
My my Delilah, you've landed on your feet! And this is the most positive post for ages! Tea and Methodone! Go you good thing and congrats on the new digs (but I'm glad I'm not your housekeeper!) We mum's are useful like that!
Good on your mum. Have a good moving day. look after the hammies!
I am happy, happy, HAPPY to hear this news Gleds!! And also to hear you will have help moving the rest of your things! Good think Itchy came home!
Ah Mum's always come to the rescue! Methinks you're going to be happy in your new place. :)
You must be exhausted, Gleds! Where are the corgis?
So glad to hear you'll have help with the move.
Here's an article from the BBC I thought might interest you:
BBC story regarding heroin.
Another move? Did the landlord say why?
I'm glad you like the new place, and it sounds nicer and it right in your home turf. Let's hope you get to there for quiet a while.
Yay, mum to the rescue. My mum use to do that, but she too old and now and I do the rescuing.

Hi Gleds ~~ The new place looks great. I hope you will be happy there with your hammies. And that you don't have another move for quite a while. The street I live in is a longish one and I don't know
everyone in it. There are half a dozen families who live close and are good friends. I don't know a lot about Ramsey St. Take care, Very
best wishes. Merle.
Woo Hoo! Glad to hear your Mom came down to lend you a hand. Even the prospect of making 20 some odd trips via bus would make me not want to do it. Can't wait to hear more about your new pad.
BAINO: I NEED a housekeeper. That's the saddest thing. 17 years of living without one and I've still not managed to cope...
LIZ: the hammies are feasting on the crust of spicy chicken giant pizza...
KAHSHE: yeah actually it's a VERY good thing Itchy came home otherwise she'd be homeLESS... (ooer...)
AKELAMALU: j'en espere...
WELSHCAKES: O YEAH the corgis. Roborovskis look just like corgis actually. Well as much "like" a corgi as a dwarf hamster ever can ...
Exhausted? You tell me about it. And I don't get a day "free" to myself till 2morrow morning. IF I'm done cleaning the old place by then...
NICOLE: cheers. Hey I'm about to clickonthat right now...
JANICE/: my Mum and Brian really WANTED to help. methinks it has partly something to do with ancient guilt and ...
no, the landlord never gave a clear explanation so I've not a clue except they're "not dealing with that property any more"...(?)
MERLE: Ramsay Street is the fictitious street in Neighbours. What I meant is, are the houses the same style. The houses on Neighbours are much nicer than most British ones. You'd have to be pretty well
-to-do to live in a house like that over here...
Thanks for the Best Wishes... I hope I get to stay some time here, too!
EILEEN: I'm going to try and find a photographic approximation to post up.
Brian says the bay window is tearing clear of the wall... which could leave me having my breakfast beside a great hole gaping out to the street...
... which, as well as everything else, would at least give my clothes a head-start on the Ikea breezer-airer..(!!()(((!)
