like a ton of bricks.

it occurred to me today, as i was looking at my obscenely high gas bill, that i am moving in just about one month. having not done so recently, i'm fighting hard to stave off an absolute panic of questions. when do i tell the gas company that i'm moving so they don't gouge me for any more than they currently are? where do i get boxes? how much should i expect to pay for movers?

honestly, not a fucking clue. the last time i moved, i was out of college and could fit the sum total of my belongings into the back seat of a car. now, the stakes are a little different and i have no problem saying that i have absolutely not the faintest clue where to begin.

the inexcusable irony of this all being that i USED TO WORK FOR A MOVING COMPANY.

I remember when I was a student, and each year we were moving from one apartment to another, in search of a better/cheaper one. When I got in, all my things would fit in a few bags. When I left, a friend's car wasn't enough to carry it all. Scary.

Panic ye not - my current gas bill arrived for - £486 ($863) for a quarter (and yes, I live in a fairly normal 3 bed flat)

We are currently at arbitration, but I would be very surprised if we managed to settle this without magistrates, liability orders and court injunctions.

So there's something to look forward to :(

$863?!

and here i was thinking that my 200 dollars for two months was obscene.

give 'em hell, pan. show those dratted utility companies that we will be silent no longer!
