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.

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?
