Busy weekend

Yesterday I opened our final bill from the cable co for our old address. There was a $522 charge on there for unreturned equipment! Needless to say I got on the phone and had some words with them. We had to go to their local office in person for some reason. Apparently it's taken care of. We'll see.

When we got back there was a fire engine in our back alley, and no water coming into the house. It seems the water main on our street had broken. Luckily several other people had called it in. And we got to meet a couple more of our neighbors. We went out and bought groceries and a couple of cases of bottled water. stuartc went out to the alley and had a word with the workmen around 10 pm, water was restored shortly after that.

Today we drove to Ikea and discovered that they don't make the short Ivar shelves any more. Doh! Luckily my husband has a way with a hand saw. They also didn't have any suitable computer desks for keeping cats out of the peripherals. We also couldn't find some of the cables for the Xbox and the PC, so we went to Best Buy. Needless to say as soon as we got home we found them. Now we have spares. We did eventually get the entertainment center assembled and I think everything is even working now. Sadly we are now both too tired to be entertained. And tomorrow is Monday! Boo! Whose idea was that?!

Also the new place doesn't have a dishwasher. I think I might be too tired to stand long enough to do the rest of the dishes...

My dad's friends had the kind that you can attach up the hoses to your kitchen sink and have drain out into the sink, given it is deep enough. It was quite cool- on wheels so you could store it in a closet. The only glitch is if you have poor water pressure from the mains.

Sounds like you got a lot of the more annoying bits about moving done, so that's a plus!

I'm hoping to have my house up and running for a party around Halloween. In case you have time around then to come up north...

We used to have a portable dishwasher when I was a kid too. The current plan is to redo the kitchen some time in the next 6-12 months, so I'm hoping I can hold out. No point in buying *two* dishwashers really... (-:

Did the postcards ever make it to you?

We got one, but I think that was all...
