Robby you are seriously starting to bug the hell out of me. I told you on msn various reasons as to why making Berlin was no longer viable for me. I just moved home down to Birmingham, This involved the following expenses; first months rent, deposit, reference check payments, estate agents fees etc. Totalling £1400. On top of that I paid out £150 to rent a van for the weekend of my move as well as two tanks of petrol for two cars that were helping me in the move. Furthermore, I spent money on paint etc to put touch up my old place to regain my deposit as well as needed products for the new place I was moving into.
Now, you can imagine that with such a large amount of money going out I didn't have much for Berlin. I had put aside £100 for the trip. The trip itself was already causing not needed stress on both my job, my move and my relationship. However, I was both firmly wanting to go and excited about the trip.
THEN on the move down my car breaks down. I don't have any roadside cover in the vehicle I am in. Im in the middle of the country with the rest of my family driving my stuff to birmingham. I had to ring the AA over the phone and purchase cover to drag me to the nearest garage. The nearest garage was miles away so I had to buy premium membership. This nicely sets me back £136. On top of this I had to wait hours for my dad to get to my new place in birmingham, unload the van and THEN drive up to doncaster (roughly half way between newcastle and birmingham) in a van going only at 50mph. We then had to unload what was in the 7 seater car that broke down into the van and drive to birmingham. WHERE i then had to unload it all into a new house that was an utter mess.
Before this weekend even started I spent a week teaching and packing my home up every night.
Now beg my pardon If I wasn't overly enthusiastic about still making Berlin. I had lost the car we were going to use. My family had been put through an ordeal. I was moody and stressed. I had lost the money that I was going to use and in fact had to lend money to pay for the extra petrol that was spent in journeys created by the breakdown as well as my current out goings.
It wasn't a case of joe just not going robby or you paying for new ferry tickets etc there was a lot more going on. If I could have I would have. I could NOT. Now stop being a prick about it. I am sorry. I have apologised repeatedly. I can not do any more. I could not have went. Sorry you did not go. Okay?
