Well i'm still buggered, but now I'm broke too. :(

The parental units came down on the weekend to help me move my stuff, coz they've got a van. But I was waiting for them at the new flat and mumz0r called and said that the van was having engine problems. So I was like, fark, now what. But they persisted and drove it down anyway. Turns out that it was just losing a cylinder under heavy load which is weird, coz dads replaced everything (plugs, leads, distributor, electronic ignition etc) but the coil. So looks like that could be the culprit.

Anyways, it took 3 loads to move my stuff. Theres still a table and 3 chairs and some books at the old flat but thats Alan's problem. I'll go back this weekend and clean it so the carpet person can then do the washy thing. (twas a condition on our lease) I think I'll charge Alan an inflated price for the carpet cleaning coz the fucker has done almost no cleaning the past 2 years, and left me to clean after we move and stuff. Fuckim.

The new flat looked shitty when it was empty but it's ok now it's full of stuff. I still havent put everything away so one room is still almost full of boxes. I need to get underneath it and run phone, video and audio and network cables from the study to the lounge room but theres no rush for that coz the internet ADSL doesn't come on till Friday.

Changed the address for home insurance, car insurance, 3 banks, RACV, (gas, elec, water, phone) mobile phone, work, registration. Still have to do IEAUST, Heart Foundation, Blood Bank and anything else I think of. Jeez.

Oldies brought down the mower-er too so I got the grass done out the back. That garden needs a LOT of work but that will be later when I have money. I have a fetish for conifer ferns (which are like 30 bucks each) so that will be a slow process.

Tonight I guess I'll hook up the pc and stuff. I scored a 17 inch trinitron monitor (not flat tho) which is heaps better than my 6 year old 15 inch thingy, so I'll put a PCI video card and go dual monitor. Also got a newish 14 inch that can go on the server. Work is getting rid of a lot of old stuff and being in IT I get first dibs. Yay.
