Just FYI: I have no phone at the moment. Or indeed wallet, keys or iPod, railcard, oystercard, three days' worth of notes and three memory sticks, because my bag was stolen from right under me tonight by some total fucker in a pub.

Graaargh. [livejournal.com profile] shimgray and [livejournal.com profile] sebastienne looked after me, I am fine, they are only THINGS, graaargh (and I didn't even burst into tears until I realised Shim's birthday present was gone). Anyway, if you're trying to ring me and I'm not answering, that's why.

Oh, that is so awful. *hugs* I'm so sorry, dear. You have been robbed so often, far more than your fair share! (To date, I have never been robbed. You must be taking my quota, and while I'm very grateful, it's awfully hard on you. I will leave my bags more accessibly for you. *squish*)

They are THINGS, it's true, but personally I find it very upsetting when I even lose things with any kind of data on, at all. And Shim's present, when you had made sure to get it in time. *sigh*

It occurs to me this means you wouldn't get my text. :( As someone else said, probably not advisable to text the thief, but still. Something along the lines of 'you are an utter, utter wanker and I hope someone steals your hard work one day AND YOU CRY' seems so tempting.

It is actually not the present for Shim that you know about, because that has not come from the internet in time, so I got him something else today just to have something to give him. If it had been the original gift I would have cried SO MUCH, so I suppose that's one blessing.

That text cheers me a lot. And don't start leaving your bags in accessible places or I will come round and do painful things to you.

ps. are you in Nottingham right now?

Ah, well, still sickening, but at least it wasn't the original present, which shall still arrive safely, if not on time. *hugs*

I am in Nottingham still, yes; I think I shall be going home on Thursday, probably. But also, I have been consistently failing to remember to say: I got your card! Thank you so much! *squishes* Mum has been forwarding important bits of post to Anwar's house for me, and I was so happy when I got that. You are lovely, my dear. *g*
