hmm - it's wednesday - is that too early to go FLOCK!!!! and bounce up and down in an excited fashion yet? is it? is it!?

more importantly - it's looking increasingly likely that Al and I will be moving house on saturday. I'm going to view it this afternoon (to look for any niggles and to work out where stuff will go) and then I'm off to sign for it on friday morning. I've lived here for 10 years now so there's a lot of stuff, plus furniture to move. am hoping to rent a tail lift van for those heavy items... but more importantly I need helpers to form human chains to prevent stair climbing and for general lugging purposes. people who help out will be rewarded with some beer type stuff and some pizza type stuff once we've finished.
so! a poll!

[Poll #1270318]

would like to start fairly early - about 11 or so I imagine - no idea how long it will take - the van will be big so there shouldn't be too much tooing and froing between the 2 houses (a 10 minute walk)
it will be pretty hard work I imagine but the more people that help the better - then we can all drink beer and exchange war stories - tis the leeds 6 way :D

I would love to help, but am far too far away to be anything other than a hinderance!

Remember to put kettle, mugs, milk, sugar, tea, coffee, bikits, washing up liquid and a tea towel into your washing up bowl and transport that first. Keep the troops watered, tis the best way!

excellent! am in the middle of a panic as all my documents are due in and i'm still printing and haven't written a cover letter... i'm hoping they won't notice... so it is not too early to say 'flock' loudly as i'd love a couple of vodkas right now

I think I'm doing bathroom stuff on Saturday. I may even get tiles on the walls.

I shall just give my rule number 1 of post house moving. Before you do anything else, make your bed.

ok, may have to vanish briefly but should be ok. You do realise you'll never fit a big tail lifter up your street without trashing all of the student cars? How big were you wanting?

Can you let me know your plans asap please?

From: [identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com
it's not that big - salford do one that's 2.4m wide I believe - it's like a mini tail lift.

Cool, let me know times etc so I can get organised!

For the record, if Tim has to get lost for a bit, I'm old and wise enough to drive a van too...

Depends how big the van is. As a whippersnapper, your licence doesn't let you drive some of the stuff mine does. Hopefully she won't order anything too gonzo though.......

:P

I'm OK up to 3.5 tonnes unladen

Heh! You have no shortage of those... I was checking yesterday to see if i was okay as well :D

I'd help if I weren't going to the ISAexperience which is nothing to do with financial planning and my boss assures me will be great - if I come back telling everyone David Cameron/Jesus/my cat and paying 10% of my income to a faceless organisation will save the world I've been brainwashed...

Promise nothing, and much is dependant on Alice's plans of course. Will text on Saturday and see what the deal is! :)

'Fraid not, sorry! I'm chauffering Paul to and from Flock (and hence consuming large amounts of your soft drinks in between - will be there right through from 9 till 3 - Flocktastic! :-) ), so probably won't be asleep till 5am. Which kind of rules out anything involving being awake till about sunset on Saturday at least.

Congrats on moving and flogging the house though, given the oncoming price crash, you got out just in time.

Alas, no.

Whilst I'd like to, the combination of dodgy back/ knee means that I have to be sensible about these things :-(

I grew up there, so I can say with authority that even if there was a massive pile of gold and some true love there, it's not worth going...

*laugh*

There is a night called Black Planet at the Bear, which has a load of friends at it and while yes, i could see bedford not being the worlds most amazing place....but with freinds it can be fun. Its also close =;-)

I lied, kinda. I grew up in Flitwick. And no, it can *never* be fun...

I remember ages ago that a song "loved" by Bedfordians was "Away" by Bolshoi... mainly because most of them wanted to be away from there...

Then again a place is what you make it... i found Beford to be okay... no more no less :)

I'm up for Flockery though, and we're due Iain too, I don't think he's Leedsed since Japan

best thing I can think of to do to help out is to pray for good weather for you

How's about an option of 'No, I'm going to the Charming Armley Cake Competition instead to gorge myself on lovely cakes'? Surely that's what every reasonable human being will be doing?

count me in, but how do i get to yours from armley? by bus, or could i crash at yours post flock?

Date: 2008-10-02 12:17 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sarah-orange.livejournal.com
what a kind offer - but all slots at the hotel d'orange are already filled with out of towners.

not sure which end of armley you're in - it's walkable from the asbestos end if you're feeling energetic.

my address is in the filtered contact details post here: http://sarah-orange.livejournal.com/392430.html
and you can look up the best route here:
