CHALLENGE ME AND LAURA!! BACK TO UNI!

Its that time again when the bags need to be packed for the move back to uni, I think she is home a lot more than away though they have a lot of time off, which is good in a way as Laura gets to help here....shes really glad about that!!! Well the packing of the car started on Wednesday ready for the off at 8am Thursday morning. It was just me and Laura as Pete and Steve had to be in Bath for golf. Typical all the same day...mind you wouldn't have got anyone else in our cars we were full to the roof tops!... Left and battled through the heavy traffic to Chichester just in time for key collection from the landlord at 1pm. He arrived and told us all the bits and bobs and how he had cleaned it thoroughly, all I am going to say is I hope he doesn't ever open a holiday cottage business!!! I have the rubbish in my car to prove it!...But saying that the house does have a nice feel to it and Laura will whip it into shape when she gets there. It has a nice little back garden and shed for the bike and a shared front grass area, there are a few young children around so that gives it a nice feel, quite safe. Well Landlord left and we knew we had to be on a mission if we were going to get back in one day. The car was parked a little way away so that made things harder, keep locking cars and lifting ridiculously heavy boxes and pianos,...yeap pianos!!!!...We made sure we had a key in our hand to the house so we didn't get locked out. The one key that Laura choose as it had a pretty colour top!!!! didn't fit the lock did it. So now we are outside her new house locked out in the middle of chichester. We had no choice but to call the landlord back from Maidenhead to sort it! Nightmare, he had to go cut new keys and then we started again. Before we moved in we had to remove the rubbish and items from around the house. We then started the long unpack!!!... We were going on really well, then I thought, best hoover up a bit, plugged the hoover in and after 2 minutes it caught on fire so we chucked it out the front door to save everything, didn't have the nerve to ring landlord again so just stuck a dangerous sticker on it and thought email him later!!.... Ill try to shorten the story, then no kettle or anything so thought check out the cooker and the knob came off and couldn't turn the gas  ring off, panicking by now finally managed to turn off!! No CO2 alarm so have to sort that too with landlord. got smoke alarms though....managed to get into the leaky shed to put the bike away that has a combination lock so should be ok to remember that!... Then used the loo and flush didn't work....meanwhile all the tooing and froing unpacking car then up the stairs  we thought best get food to leave for Laura, which was a mammoth task! as we walked out the front door and it slammed behind us, with our keys to car and phones inside the house...We were really in trouble now, no record of the number for landlord, no phone, no car....oh man we will be in trouble....So after running around shouting for a while and then trying to get a ladder to see if any windows were open we finally got someone to lend us a key of their house in the hope it might just help jiggle the lock.....But then we remembered the back door locks from the inside but maybe we hadn't turned the thumbscrew properly.....and after figuring out how to get to the back door, we got in ...phew......off to shop......unpack and then remove rubbish for journey home, By that time we were really tired and tried to put TV in car but I cant bend and lift, I can do one or the other! so got it stuck half way in car, so Laura tried to save me by crawling under it, so now her legs were across the pavement and body half in the car with head under a TV, it must have looked so funny anyway long story.....got her out and off we went to eat briefly and get home.....Just as we thought our day couldn't get much worse the train line barriers came down, when we were short of time, and not one train but 3  at 5 min intervals came leisurely trucking by.... I was loosing will to live by then!!! Got home midnight, I have missed out lots but you get the gist!!! The house doesnt look that big but has four beds rented out and communual lounge/kitchen which as you can see by the post its laura has organised everyone....well no one else bothered to turn up so I think she did really well and organised all the broadband/tv licence bills etc, best the others pay, or a visit from yours truely might happen and they wouldnt want that now would they!!!
