Noooo!!!!

I give up. I have to leave my beloved kotatsu behind.

I was determined to take it with me. Not only is it gorgeous and massive, it was also ridiculously expensive. And I'm gutted.

I was messing around with it last night trying to wrap it up in cardboard. Then this morning I called the moving company and the price they're charging to pack it up for me just isn't worth it.

It's such a big kotatsu. I was going to ship it back to England. THAT'S how much I love it. And my new place doesn't have one.

The ONLY plus with this (apart from saving money) is that it frees up a lot of space in the boxes. A lot of space. I had to repack a box but now I only have 14 boxes instead of 15 so I've saved a coupleof thousand yen. Woohoo!

So tired. I've been spending nearly every night with someone. Which is great....except for his love for air con. I normally end up freezing my arse off and wake up everyday with a sore thoat. But if I just run a fan, he gets too hot and then ends up tossing and turning so I don't get a good night's sleep anyway. Either way I can't win. I just don't get people who sleep with the air con on. Just messes with my throat. Not to mention the fact that it's expensive to run. I only use it when it's really hot (which it isn't) or when other people come over and don't seem to be able to survive without it.

What's wrong with a good old fashioned fan?

*sigh* I'm scared to get my electricity bill this month. It's gonna set me back a fortune.
