Up's & Down's

Immaculate is not anywhere on the horizon yet! 

Thursday - The removers didn't leave Oxford till after 7pm! Middle Way completely chaotic. You could barely move for boxes. Removers took little notice of what was written on the boxes / bags - (perversely they did read some of a previous clients labelling). Couldn't get 2 wardrobes & a 2 seater settee upstairs & removers didn't seem to think it was their job to haul stuff up through the big windows. 

Friday - completely exhausted & zombie like! Brain dead. Couldn't fit computer together. I was lucky to be able to stay with Maryon for two nights or I might have had complete meltdown. Things must improve.

Saturday -What a difference a day makes, (& a decent nights sleep). I'm connected, (thanks to Ed's brother John - Apparently I had been nearly there). Brain now functioning as well as the computer. Yesterday both of us were malfunctioning badly. Now all systems are "Go".

Sunday - Still boxes everywhere & complete chaos. Getting rid of the boxes is as bad as the actual unpacking itself. Discovered that having TV sockets in every room doesn't necessarily mean anything - All TV's say No Signal. There is miles, not an exaggeration, of bare wires in the sitting room & study. The consensus is that it has something to do with Sky / Virgin / Surround sound???? How can people leave a house like that?

No info whatsoever about C. heating, hot water, alarm, appliances!!! Spent a good 10 minutes the first day trying to lock the front door from the outside. Two of us couldn't open or lock it. A dollop of WD40 has helped. Can't open  / close several windows either! No shaver point to charge my toothbrush!!!

Velux windows on top floor - can't open or close - no pole! Lovely patio on top floor too - no key for door! Thinking of putting a Welcome mat for burglars / murderers.

Paid shedloads of money for this!
