Wednesday the 2nd of March 2005.

Just realised it's my sisters birthday so going to ring her quickly before I do anything.

Ok... I havent posted for a while - well 15 day or so. I dont think thats a long time personally. (Not for a dog anyway,its only two days...).

Sidenote:Why do dogs age so quickly anyway?? Genuinly dont know.. someone can leave the answer in my comments section after I'd be most gratful.

Anywho I've got a good reason for not posting this time, I've had to move flats. No longer do I reside in Flat 401 but now I live in 502.

"Why Gareth,I thought you loved flat 401"

Hi there Jimmy,you're right I did.. but events went out of hand....

Firstly JP and Sarah left.. Cant blame them,they'd had enough. The heater,shower,door scenario had all got too much and they demanded to move for free instead of hte usual £50 charge. Which is fair enough and it happened. They now live in 402 together as a little couple and I'm v pleased for them as they are so perfect for each another.

They asked me and Rich (or Richard and I if your upper class) if we wanted to join them but it didnt seem right and 401 was now starting to turn into our own flat. Helen was usually away at her boyfriends or parents and so we could have the guys up here most nights. One night we decorated the place up and had it looking amazing.


Anyway,that was the last time we were happy in 401,as Helen came back and started to annoy us again. It came to a head 2 Thursdays ago...

Thursday is my busiest day - a proper 9 -5 day. Mind you its not got that much competition as I only go in Thurs and Fri- giving me a 5 day weekend. Thats right, you all work Mon - Fri and I just pop up for two days. AND im better looking then you as well. Is there any justice in the world!!

Anyway I'd come home shattered around half 4 as lectures finished early. I usually try and sneak in a power nap before Simpsons and today was no different. However I could only hear Helens big deep booming annoying voice thru my wall. Pretty soon I cottoned on she was planning on moving as she was on the phone and said
"Do you want to get packed,we're all moving"

Which is fairly acedemic therefore. I couldnt believe it. I was overjoyed.

Those more astute readers will know I posted up about Helen and how she got on my nerves,but I took it down out of pity. More on this later....

Any way I text Rich and Rob and soon thy are in my room similairly overjoyed. Helen has wrote on the fridges magnets "Stop nicking my stuff" . Again this will be mentioned later but needless to say that we hadnt. I write in response "F*ck Off" Obviously there was a u there as they dont do star shaped magnets but hteres possibly young kids reading this. Incidently if there are, if you type '5318008' into a calculator and turn it upside down,you get 'boobies'. Hours of entertainment there.

Sidenote: I've just gone in the kitchen and Rob had has coffee and sugar in a cup waiting for the water to boil for his coffee. Being the prankster I am I filled the cup up ith whipped cream. Rob has just knocked on my door to thank me for the best coffee he's ever had. I tried some and it was lovely...what I'm saying is if you're ever im that situation and your torn between putting in cream or lard,think what starbucks would do.

Anyway,where am I? Ok..im my room with Rich and Rob celebrating. We whack on Tom Hark at full volume and stat dancing.I yell out "The witch is going" . Apparently all this makes Helen cry.....

Me and Rob go shopping to celebrate and while we are I get a missed call from Rich. I presume it's nothing and leave it...

When we come back,Rich greets us with bad news. Helen isnt allowed to move. Even worse is the fact that her friend has been allowed to move up to 401 instead.

I didnt know a lot about Alice. She came into our flat with the rest of the guys once at 2am pissed,started going on about how badly we treat Helen and how much Helen complains about us,before falling asleep on our sofa and refusing to get up when the rest left. As a result I had to leave a saucpan on 'Standby' (Where was I going to get a bucket from at 2am?) and leave her there with a spare quilt I had.

...Just got back from football training,didnt play bad for unfit person,scoring two goals,both easy enough,a left foot nutmeg from tightish angle and left foot volley from 10 yards after a keeper mistake. I'm nothing like as fit as I used to be tho..


Anyway back to the story.Rich seemed furious, we hadnt been asked by Andy,the guy in charge (looks like Jonathon Creek) if we were happy to have someone else and of course Helen hadnt bothered asking us about Alice. Rich knew Alice better then me and he was really worked up. Rich is one of the coolest people I know. I'm not just saying that cos he's gonna read this (he'd better tho) but he never yells (unless its 3am in the morning,drunk in his room questioning why ASDA place their Jaffa Cakes in the cake aisle,while they are a biscuit) Pretty soon,we were having a meeting with a very tired Andy. Thanks to Rich,we got the option to move out....
Question was where too...Then Rob came down and told us Tom was leaving,meaning we could move up into 502 and have a guy flat.

Ledge..

The next morning me and Rich checked with Andy who had rung head office. I've not been that nervous for a long time....

We had to pay £50 which was a pain,but it was fine,the next 4 days we spent moving our stuff up,and now we have an all guys flat. This means the blog should be more entertaining so its all win win.

As I mentioned before once,I listed 21 things I hated about Helen.. I'm tempted to list them..but some may say its bullying,so if you have any opinions list them and I'll think about it.

It's taken me 8 hours to make this post,so if it's taken you longer to read it you really have to question your commitment!

Anyway I'm tired and Jamie wants me to dress as a robber for his art project..... As I speak he's decimating my fav white t - shirt with black stripes....

Byeeeee
