Wanted: Movers. No experience necessary.

[baratron]

Small dynamic London-based family unit urgently seeks dedicated professionals to move shit from one place to another. Failing that, amateurs would do.

Essential:
Must be somewhere near SW London sometime this weekend, & preferably able to give us specific times when you can help.
Must be able to pack and lift small boxes.
Must be able to put up with me at random extremes of my mood cycle (hyper-excited vs ultra-stressed).
Must be able to tolerate listening to freezepop on auto-repeat all day long. (I might be persuaded to put something else on eventually.)
Must be able to put up with my singing. Earplugs not provided, but you can bring your own.

Desirable:
Ability to drive a van. If you have a van of your own, this is a bonus.
Ability to lift large boxes and help lift things like sofas.
Making the tea (or alternatives) and remembering everyone's drink preferences.
Near-psychic ability to tell from Richard's body language when he's stressed out (seeing as I don't have that one perfect yet I'm not sure if anyone else will).
Willingness to give calming hugs to anyone who needs them.
Extra cash for experienced plasterers.

Full training provided. We are an equal opportunities employer.

try hassling girlfriend into helping
last I heared she might be about

[baratron.livejournal.com]

I think I'd rather have volunteers than people who've been press ganged into it :)

[x-mass.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to persuade her to come down and see my this weekend
I would defiantly offer to help were it not for bondagewoodelf staying

[hiddenpaw.livejournal.com]

If you get to the end of saturday night and still need help give me a call I may be about for alive for sunday.

I'm going to be in London this weekend and the girlfriend is working all three days!

I have no special plans other than a party on Saturday evening and trying to do some work on my car. (I am not offering to drive my own car, sorry).

However SW London is of course a bit far away for me in NE London.

Anyway give me a shout by email or phone if you think you need an extra pair of hands. I recommend as many as possible to make the job easier on the few who do some work! 07976 um and whats the other bit? 512145

I'd like to seek your advice on stuff but am a bit embarassed at not being around much of the last five years. It is a good thing not a bad thing. So if you need relief from the stress of moving then ask me to distract you. Maybe I'll email first.

> It is a good thing not a bad thing
I mean I want to chat about a good thing - not laying more problems on you.

[baratron.livejournal.com]

Heh, I didn't even notice the other way that could be read until just now... Yeah, hopefully we'll get to talk over the next couple of days.

I emailed the address on your diversebooks website... hope it got to you. Otherwise, my mobile number is the same as it's always been.

Wrong country..

[lovingboth]

.. for a week anyway. We're in France for half-term, sorry.

[bob]

I intend to never move stuff ever again after helping alan move into the flat. the world is full of professional movers they can do it for me :)

[lizw.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be in Scotland for half-term.

I have various things to do on Saturday, but I'm free Sunday. I'm not particularly near SW London, but am prepared to travel. I have previous experience of packing and lifting small boxes...

[a-musing-amazon.livejournal.com]

Would like to help :). We do have visitors on Sunday though. Get back to you when have discussed what we are doing this weekend with wuluf and nitoda.

[nitoda]

wuluf and I have already discussed maybe going over on Saturday to help out - if that suits you, we can do that. Can bring one or two cars if needed for transporting stuff, one roofrack, no vans, sadly.

[baratron.livejournal.com]

Bring the car with the roof rack. Don't bother about the other one, we have seriously limited parking space (and will have to give out some of our seriously limited stock of parking permits for every car that arrives).

As you are Morning People, would you be able to get us some more paint supplies? I emailed the addresses in your lj info earlier... I'll send some info about the paint there.

Just in case ...

[a-musing-amazon.livejournal.com]

Yes, we did get the emails re paint and yes we can pick it up for you on the way. Will see you around lunchtime, then. HUGS! (oh, actually, this is nitoda writing, but it's a_musing_amazon's log-in on her machine, just to confuse you!)

[jinian.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I am not telekinetic at that distance. But YAY HOUSE.

[otterylexa.livejournal.com]

Coming down saturday. Expect me sometime early afternoon.

[x-mass.livejournal.com]

apparently we will be with you from 2pmish onwards assuming alexa_robinson can help me get there, I will have bondagewoodelf in tow (and a hatch back)

[baratron.livejournal.com]

Um... I'd rather not. Tomorrow I'll probably be at the house painting for most of the day while Richard's installing the alarm. We feel slightly uncomfortable with other people packing up our personal stuff as it is. So the other people need to be people that we trust, and it's hard to trust someone you don't know. I don't mind too much if you come because you are thoroughly vouched for by enough people I do know well, but Henri is more like a friend of a friend of a friend, and that's... outside my comfort zone.

Sorry, I feel really crap saying that, especially as he might want to see Peter. I dunno. See also previous comment about profound lack of parking. Maybe you could come down later (after 6.30pm) when parking is free, most stuff will already be in boxes and the boxes just need shifting?
