STUFF!!

One house. Sold. £115k
*sob*
but not as bad as it could have been. one place was saying £80-90k

hugest thanks to [livejournal.com profile] wsogmm for giving me the means to wait for a better offer.

the bad news is we'll have to move sharpish - possibly the first weekend in September.

:D

In other news I've been offered free coach and tickets and hotel for mera luna this weekend and am now in the jaws of an agonising descision!

cons:
miss the final transmission and the MFA home gig *feels like a dog*
surely I should be packing to move! *
it will still cost me train fare to london for the coach
involves using 2 days holiday which I *really* don't have and may also involve a very dodgy/hard journey back to work on tuesday

pros:
free holiday!
get to spend quality time with [livejournal.com profile] daevid
bands! festival! sausage! woo!

WHAT TO DO??

* a bit of an issue in that every weekend is packed at the mo. but less of an issue in that I'm off Taekwondo this month so have 3 quality packing evenings per week.

EDIT: alright already I'll ask tomorrow if I can get the time off - but I'm holding you all responsible!!

Go!

You've just made a monumental decision and you deserve a reward!

I agree, a holiday seems deserved especially with sausage :) Where are you guys moving to too? xxxx

[identity profile] brummie-ninja.livejournal.com 2008-08-05 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Go on holiday and have a break. Let me know if you need any help with moving and stuff. Have you found anywhere to live yet?

[identity profile] cyberlite.livejournal.com 2008-08-05 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Eep! I did the coach all the way to M'era Luna a few years back. And afterward vowed never to go by coach again for such a long journey! (19hrs from Leeds to Hildesheim via Victoria) Go, cos it's a great festival, but treat yourself to a return Leeds-London train ticket!!

And good luck with house hunting and packing.

GO TO MERA LUNA!

and get the train.

glad house is soldxxx

We could hardly hold it against you taking someone up on a free holiday. Though we would love to have you at the gig. Either way, you'll get top tuneage. Whether it's from us and the brilliant Abilgail's Mercy or the Mera Luna line-up. The latter will just cost you more in time and money...

... and a promise to come and see us later in the year if you don't come this weekend.

:o)

Don't know if I should even glorify this with an answer. But if my stance wasn't predictable enough, MERA LUNA you silly moo :P

The rest of the things can be sorted out, you deserve a holiday and the house is sold so that's a lot of stress you've had to deal with off your back which on its own warrants a reward for endurance.

Well, I was going to say something along the lines of "Missing the MFA gig will result in me being forced to post compromising images of you and lashings and lashings of custard all over the interwebzzz!"...

But!
  • a) I suspect you've already done that,
  • b) you deserve a holiday (and congrats on the sale, and avoiding the 80k situation), and
  • c) I see that our usually most intense bandmember has already let you off. :-)
Have fun, whichever you do! And if you do go to Mera Luna, we demandz picturezz!!

Go to Mera Luna.....You deserve it and it'll be fun.

The coach gets back to potters bar on the monday round 8:30ish I think (can't get to my email on this puter) so you can catch the train back monday night i'd guess....There is also Cov as an alternative, though will be later and i don't know what trains are like to/from there.

Will buzz you and persuade.

You're still here?!

I just had to google Mera Luna because I had no idea what it was. And can I just say...

...Could a festival BE more goth? :-p

Go have fun! xxx

[identity profile] myz-lilith.livejournal.com 2008-08-05 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Go. Definitely :-) Go!

Congrats on the sale, know it's not ideal, but at least you did better out of it than you might have!

You definitely deserve a break, though you'll be missed at Transmission :)

1) COME TO M'ERA LUNA I AM GOING WITH MY FRIEND

2) I have a hugeish cellar which is currently empty and you are welcome to put stuff in it temporarily should you require storage

3) the above is not a euphemism for anything Naughty. Unless.... *sniggers*

When you do your yard sale thing, put a "reserved" note on Al. I need a monkey butler...

[identity profile] attack-monkey.livejournal.com 2008-08-06 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Usual offer of van driving for yourself and Al.

You have one life, live it well. Go to the festival you spazzy bint.

:P

and good luck with the new house when you've found it!
