Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I woke up at 5.30am this morning....and quickly realised I was awake and sufficiently so that going back to sleep would be a mistake.

So I got up and had tea and read my mail and...now I'm bored. At this rate, I'll be at work for 8am :P No, no, that's crazy talk, not even I'm that deranged. Still if I get in for 8.30, I can leave at 4.30 with Foghorn's permission. Hee! That would be good, I have Stuff To Do this evening before I go to bed and the earlier I do it all the better.

I have two days off from tomorrow, to help alissomora and her sister move into ...the UK :) Liss arrives tomorrow at 7.40am at Heathrow, her sister on Thursday at 6.40am. So at least I seem to be already in an early morning frame of mind :P I'll be staying over at Redhill at their new house tomorrow night so I'll be offline until Thursday.

Hey, flist, any of you know Redhill? It's not far from Croyden right? *eyes a Mr Landmine and others* Liss will need to buy supplies and as far as we know, Redhill high street is sufficiently well stocked with shops but I was wondering about the availability of a big Tesco's or some such where they could get really cheap household stuff like sheets and pillows?

OK, whoever said "Early to bed, early to rise, makes us healthy, wealthy and wise" was a idiot. Although, admittedly, I didn't exactly do the going to bed early part, so maybe I only have myself to blame :)

Spent most of today attempting to look busy and not snoring. So did PartyGirl who was back after four days in Spain. Amazing tan but she looked like death warmed up. It was an all girly holiday and there was some serious partying going on. She felt fine yesterday, having got back on Sunday night, but it had obviously all caught up with her today. Bless, she'll be asleep by now, I expect!

I think I'm all ready for the Redhill adventure over the next couple of days. The last administrative snafu got sorted out today - apparently the customs people in Oz decided not to bother mentioning the C5 Customs forms to Liss and the folks this end thought, for reasons that passeth all understanding, that I was the owner of the cats and could therefore fill in the C5. Cue frantic phone call from Liss in the US to me at work yesterday plus several equally squeaky phone calls from me to James Cargo, the people who are handling the UK end of the cats' shipment. Thankfully, I got all the info I needed to fill in the forms and was able to sign them on Liss and her sister's behalf, so the cats were boarded on the plane in Oz yesterday and all should be well. *crosses fingers and toeses*

In other news, I'm thinking Liss's phone bill is going to be epic :P

Anyway, I'm wandering off to bed. 5am start for me tomorrow :) Night all, see ya Thursday :) *hugs for those that wants 'em*
