So… Here I wait.
The confirmation said (this is copied and pasted from the email sent):
"Thank you for mail and taking decision to use Euro Removal for your forth coming move. We are pleased to confirm that our team will be at CR5 2NP on Sunday 28th September between 8 to 9am "
And yet. Here it is. 10:20. Where are they?!?!
And of course, when things go wrong, they really go wrong…
I had to have Dad transfer money here for us. Coastal Federal can't do it, so I have to transfer money to Dad, and Dad has to go to his bank and transfer money to us. (Yeah, I know – we could use Western Union or any of a dozen other wire transfer services, but those are REALLY expensive, and it's a lot cheaper going through Dad's bank.) So – he tells her to transfer over $4000. DOLLARS. USD. The form even said $4000 EQUIVALENT into GBP Sterling. What did the idiot there do? She "miskeyed" it and sent £4000. GBP. Pounds Sterling. Which meant that she nearly drained Dad's checking account. AND it took 2 extra days to transfer because she sent it in the wrong currency. AND it meant that I had to turn around and send a bunch of money back. It's really ridiculous. So – we got the money on Friday just in time so that I could get the Bankers Draft for the Estate Agent. Grrrr.
And, on top of that. Poor Abbie is not well. Her eye is swollen and red. The doc says its conjunctivitis, but luckily the other dogs haven't gotten it. The problem is that it's not getting better with the drops that we are putting in and it's spread to the other eye now. She felt warm to me this morning, as if she might be running a fever. Poor pup.
Oh well – I need to go call the moving company… It's now 10:30!!
