The ol' bait and switch

So George and I go out to the storage facility yesterday to sign the paperwork on our locker. It turns out the one that was quoted as $75 was indeed the size advertised, but was ABOVE the ground-level storage lockers, with access via a wheeled metal staircase. There was no way in Hell I was going to agree to having George or Roger go up those stairs to manhandle stuff out, and moving stuff into it would have taken a lot longer and driven up our moving costs. So we went with a ground-level locker that was slightly smaller for $95.

Congratulate us. We are now effectively paying $800/month in space rental. >.<

Still, I was glad to get it over with.

( Stuff that's left to do regarding my mother's apartment )

I feel better for having made the list, but I'm still having a hard time getting down to work on HB now that I have it done.

English Handfasting Petition

Originally posted by princess_button in wiccan, just this afternoon:

Hi everyone,

There is a petition on the 10 Downing street site concerning the legal recognition of handfasting ceremonies in England as although they acknowledge Paganism as a religion they do refuse to recognise that handfasting as a binding partnership.

If you want to help change this, please find the link for the petition below

Blessings

The trick is, you must be a British citizen or resident to sign the petition. I'm still hoping that at least a few people who browse my LJ will be able and willing to help the cause. :-)
