Go through the motions for the last time tonight

Feeling slightly better. I let the kittens play in and on the old dog couch for a few hours while I took cute pictures of them (and Spike) popping in and out of the cat-hole, then I shut them all in the bedroom and hauled the damn thing out of the flat. Shiny-Headed Cheerful Neighbour earned himself a few Brownie points by helping me get it down the stairs and I've left it leaning against the bins outside. One of the good things about living on a mildly disreputable council estate - people are always dumping furniture, mattresses, TVs and old fridges out there, so there are fairly regular collections of these things. I feel mildly guilty nonetheless, but I really needed it gone.

Talked to Mum and Sister T on the phone. Sister T is going to drop off her house key here tomorrow morning so I can go and sit on my arse at Grimmauld Place with no internet tomorrow while the Housing Association do something to the cavity wall insulation. Mum started to get hysterical about the electricity - she's been worrying for a week that it's going to OMG RUN OUT OH NOES. The fact that it would have taken me two hours of walking to refill it (and she has her car running and is driving again!) simply didn't register with her - IT MUST NOT RUN OUT!

"Mum", I said, "why do you even need the electricity on there? So the house-elves can watch daytime TV? There's no-one living there, the fridge and freezer are empty, why's it so urgent?"

"Um... now that you mention it..."

So I got out of doing that chore.

Cannot post pictures because my battery recharger isn't recharging my batteries for no reason I can think of, and all my batteries are flat. How strangely apt.
