moved in

well, i'm moved in to the new flat thanks to the cavalry (aka val, davoud and frank the van). Val and i did a run of all my stuff from sam's place on friday night and woke up early on startuday to meet davoud at ikea in warrington. we were slightly delayed leaving due to the police recovering 7 stolen vehicles from val's parking garage. nice.

ikea was an experience as always (i will post pictures later) and i was slightly depressed about the amount of money i shelled out, but hey, i got a lot for it. after fitting *everything* into frank we unloaded at the new place and then val went off for frank's afternoon duties on the wirral.

by that point a lunch break was needed before tackling the ikea instructions, so davoud and i walked to lark lane for lunch and then headed to matalan and asda before coming back to boxes and swedish furniture. somehow, we got the bed, sofa, half a chest of drawers, half a chair and the kitchen unpacked before bedtime. and there was one stonkingly good pizza sandwiched in there too. i finally made it to the pizza parlour to order my pizza and drink a beer whilst i wait. my new favourite pizza place by far. i do love an artichoke.

i'm at work today and really wish i wasn't. just want to be at the flat getting everything sorted! bah. we'll see how amazed i am when i get home to what davoud's been able to accomplish. no doubt i'll be impressed ;)

btw - no wireless or broadband in the flat and BT doesn't have a line already installed there as they said they did, so it won't be until after christmas that i have a landline or access to my hotmail account.
