Good Afternoon my lovlies. What a couple of days I have had. Firstly... Blondie, (thats me) didn't get around to paying the lights account. Had the money in the bank... forgot to pay. Not like me at all, I blame...(think up some random person or thing and input it here)
So they came to switch off the electricity yesterday. Which set off a chain of super ninja scrambling to go pay it so it could be switched back on again.
They only work office hours, so we had a very romantic candle lit night. Before you allow your mind to go wandering in the direction of gutters and possibly sewers (yes twinsie I mean you), picture us squinting at too bright iPads, and complaining that they were blinding us.
I was doing research on serial killers for my new book--great reading material when there is not electricity so I was jumpy as hell. Didn't help that Gavin (like the old fart he is), fell asleep first.
9 am this morning they put it back on again, and for some reason the house alarm arms, and promptly starts blaring like a disemboweled clowder of cats.
Okay, no problem (we never use the thing) so I dash off to find the piece of paper the previous tenants left with the code on it. Success! Or not... The code doesn't work! Another mad ninja scramble to get hold of the estate agent. So they can get hold of the owner, so he can give the alarm code, but he's in a meeting. So we can't get hold of him and in the mean time back at disemboweled cat central I'm getting a migraine and crawling around on the floor to try and stay out the motion-detection-eye's line of sight. (Que Mission Impossible theme)
I can hear you laughing and I'm raising my eyebrow at you.
Ninja Evi phones (useless) Ninja Gavin and demands that he comes home this instant to come switch the damn thing off or shes going to go all Ziva David from NCIS and start cutting wires to the alarm box. Ninja Gavin regrettably informs Ninja Evi she's on her own (told you he was useless).
I had to sit still for hours before the battery in the stupid alarm finally ran down.
Now can you see why I've had a craptatstic couple of days?
