Da weekend

My alarm went off Saturday morning for the Park Run - I lay there debating it so much that when I decided I wasn't going I was far too awake to go back to sleep! So I got up - and I texted Connor as he should be up early to move house! He was in bed!  I hadn't called him until 9am, and he said they'd be leaving soon as the van was already packed.  He left about 10.30.

They got to our in the smallest van ever!  They'd already figured out that they were going to have to do 2 trips - and its about 2.5 hours each way.  We unpacked the van which didn't take very long! and they had some lunch and then debated what they were going to do - come go back, pack the van and come back again - or go back - sleep there and do 2 trips in the morning.  They had to get the van back to Southampton by 5.30pm Sunday, they also had a bed to put down and had to clean their flat (which included some painting!), and had to sort out a couch going to the tip.  The best thing to do - was to get back - load the van and come back again today - they had so much to do.  That is what they decided to do.  As they left - me and Andy said - they won't come back again today lol.  They didn't.

Once they had left me and Andy decided to have a game of pool - this ended up 20 games of pool (score was 10 each), loud music - drinking and take-out!!  Because we started early - we were falling asleep at 10.30 - so we got an early night!!

Sunday

Apparently Connor and Emily were up at 8am - and as I predicted everything took them so much longer than they anticipated.  At 10.17am I got a message saying that they should be leaving in about 10 minutes.  At 12.20 I got a message saying - we haven't even left yet this has been a nightmare.  So I have no idea how something that took 2 hours - they thought they could do in ten minutes!! lol  They got to ours at 2.50pm.  We were watching the England game - it is the world cup - and we beat Panama 6-1.

So - we helped unpack the van again and get some stuff into the attic - and then they left again - they had to get the van back - they knew they could not get it back in time.  They drove all the way back - and couldn't drop the van off - nowhere to park it or drop the keys off etc.  So they parked it where Emily works and will have to go back on the train tomorrow to take it back! They had 2 options to get the train back - one was at 7.55pm and one was at 8.15pm...the later one would take much longer and had more changes.  They were in time for the earlier one when Emily realised that she had left her phone at the flat!  Connor got one of these rent a bike things - and got back to the flat, only for Emily to call him on her phone and say she'd found it!  So - they missed the earlier train - and got to ours again at about 11.45pm!!

(It is Monday morning now at 9.38am and as far as I know Emily hasn't left yet to sort the van out and she was supposed to be getting up at 6am-7am).  I might be wrong though - she could had left already!
