The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Category: Life & Me | 6 Comments | Posted 20:28

Woooo! Didn't I say you'd see me sooner than you'd think? OK I only really came here (uni PCs) cuz I need to check how to get to East Croydon... I hope Daniel won't kill me for continually using his login here... it's strictly forbidden to let anyone else use it etc. Esp. for chatting purposes. Oh no, not that I'm chatting. Chatting is evil! :))

OK so the Good. The good is I've safely arrived in Brighton, I had a rather pleasant trip with fabulous weather, I've moved all my stuff in (yes this time it really is all of it) and am currently unpackking it, sorting it, putting it in clever places (well not right now, but you know what I mean). I've been very geeky and already set up my PC (tho no Internet and no TV either as cable incompatible...)... and I've done other useful stuff - like bought a cool metal shelf thing at Lidl for £19.99 (which currently serves as my PC table). I also went rollerblading as the weather was just too amazing to not be used... takes me about 10mins to get to Palace (Brighton) Pier, which I think is rather cool. There were loads of people enjoying the sun (people are annoying, esp kids), anyway, I had fun.

Right, then there's the Bad. The boiler's not working (they came round to check it on Friday), so we have no heating, which means good old Jareth is kinda cold, tho not THAT bad actually. Anyway, there's a sticker on the thing that says "this device is unsafe, £5000 fine if you use it" or sth like that, which effectively means (I suppose) our landlady will have to replace it... considering what David told me about her on Tuesday (short of cash), I am expecting drawn out negotiations. :| Meh, any flat I've had in the UK so far had heating problems, so I guess I'm used to it.

The Ugly... er there ain't no the Ugly, I just wanted a catchy title. So this is the end of this entry. Have just finalised arrangements with squiZZ for tomorrow so can pretty much leave now. Online is boring anyway. Jareth is much more exciting (cold or not). Byeee!

Just a quickie to say that I WILL reply to your email. Have been ill for a month and MUST catch up on some other, more boring things first! Just so you know I'm not ignoring you.

Glad you're enjoying Jareth, even tho he's cold at the moment. No doubt he'll have internet access soon.
