pezI see that there are a lot of things for me to download today... luckily I've brought my PezPod so I can download now and bring everything home!
Friday
The guy who was buying my bed was supposed to arrive at 6pm, but he got lost and didn't arrive until nearly 7pm. We took the bed apart and got it to his car. The removals guy came, although he was supposed to get there at 7pm, at that point. He saw how much stuff I've got, asked me questions and found out then that I was moving to 2nd floor, then said he'd only do it for extra £20. I was beyond caring and agreed to it.
Started moving the stuff, got it all down the stairs and half of it into his van. The guy then said that he couldn't do this on his own, all the jobs he's done were moving ground to ground floors and the people always had friends to help. NONE OF WHICH WAS MY FAULT, HE DIDN'T ASK ME ANY DETAIL ON THE PHONE. If HE was assuming those details, I could also be assuming that he wasn't going to come ON HIS OWN, as well. He said he wasn't going to do this, he'll unload his van, give me back my stuff and he won't charge me. Yeah, like, right. So he made me call people for help. I managed to get Y2 (who abandoned his girlfriend for a few hours), Sai (who was doing his Part 3 at work), and Sis (who was out with friends) to meet me at the new place and carry stuff upstairs.
When we were finally done (Y2 had to rush off right away), we disagreed on the price. The guy bit off more than he could chew, it was his own fault and he still wanted that extra £20. Sai was saying no way, you said extra £20, and then you demanded Pez to call for help about an hour later, there is no way you're still getting that £20, we'll at most give you an extra £10 - it wasn't like I don't have the money, but I don't think he deserved it, especially when towards the end he just went to pack up his van and let my friends carry the heaviest stuff. At that point, the guy started shouting at me in a very viscious way (I mean his face was distorted, he was pointing at me aggressively and I thought he was going to hit me), was totally unreasonable (I couldn't get in more than 2 words edgeways, it was like he was born with no ears to listen) and after everything, my sanity was hanging on by a thread. Sai nudged me aside and said you shouldn't shout at a girl like that but that guy just wouldn't listen. And I just broke. I started crying, and gave him that £20 and I was like, you know what, if your personal dignity is only worth that extra £10, I'm gladly buying it, what a bargain.
So I still got the last word.
I *know* he was doing all that for the money, but seriously? My sanity is worth more than that. For him to have put up such a good show and made himself so low? Well worth the money. He was also shouting so loudly he was disturbing all my new neighbours, and even if I did have my normal EQ (rather than a negative one due to all the stress I had), I wouldn't want to argue too far because he was a big man with a van and he knew exactly where I live and I live alone. I wouldn't risk my personal safety for something so petty. Men like him? He's going to end up stuck in a lifetime of hard manual labour, with no children to bury him when he's dead, and not even enough money to buy a coffin. So all I did was donate some money towards his funeral funding. It's all for a good cause.
That said, if anybody wants to kill the man for me, I have his mobile number.
After that, I went back to my new place and just sat there and cried. After a while, Sis, Sai and I went down to a nearby Thai restaurant and had the most amazing Thai food EVER. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it was so. good.
Saturday
Didn't do much apart from unpacking and buying necessities. I was so tired I could barely move. My back hurt, in particular.
The supermarket was my final stop before going home. And I was not surprised that when I left the place, it was raining like hell outside, complete with lightning and thunderstorm.
Sunday
Went back to the old place to clean up and pack the bits and bobs that were left behind. Handed back the keys, dropped stuff off at new place and then went to my sister's. Waited for Sai to come home and then went out to have lunch (although it was like. 4:30pm?). Went into a restaurant, and I thought, "hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dystopiarcadia works for this restaurant chain..." But they have so many branches that I didn't think I'd run into her.... AND THEN I SAW PINK HAIR. So I was like, "OMG SYL!!!!" and she was like "OMG PEZ!!!!" XD Syl of course had to work and but we still got to talk a bit. And she naughtily gave us staff discount on the meal XD (♥!) and and mwahahaha I hear that there are AU in the works >D and Syl said that when she comes to visit my new place she'll bring an offering of toast to my cardboard Tez. XD
After that, went home and finished unpacking. My fridge only has a carton of milk atm. Need to do some shopping.
And that was that. I'm dead now. EVERYBODY MUST COME SEE MY NEW PLACE. I LOVE MY NEW PLACE. And oh oh! I've got a double bed! And a sofa large enough for sleeping in, as well! I'm not sure why they put in a double bed, because a single would've fitted in the room a lot better, but I'm not gonna complain. When the plushies saw it, they were all like "YAY LOADS OF ROOM FOR US!!!" ^^"
So yes. COME VISIT!!!!!
[edit] Sanada? Valentine Kiss? OMG I AM SOOOO BUYING THIS.
Oh, yeah, there won't be net at home for a long time.
