seeking couch/room in London

[rm]

Okay, we've been rebooked on a flight out of Heathrow on Wednesday 4/21 and we need a place to stay as of tomorrow.

If you have a spare room or couch located somewhere on the London tube for a low maintenance queer couple, we would be very grateful. We will certainly find some way to compensate you, but would like to avoid continuing to pay London hotel rates (we're also not sure we'd be able to keep the room for that many days).

Email to racheline@gmail.com to discuss.

Additionally, fair warning: Patty has a cold right now, so if you or anyone in your household is immuno compromised, we're probably not who you want around right now.

We're good, thanks folks!

Okay, sending out feelers!

Thanks, we're solved for now.

Will boost the signal. Crossing fingers for you.

Thanks, we're solved for now.

Ping me if you don't find anything more convenient - I'm in Bromley, 25 mins by train from Victoria station. We have an fold-out IKEA couch.

Thank you, we're solved for now, but I feel a little tragic that we're not having a volcano-based meetup!

I'd recommend a friend who lives in London... except she's currently stranded in DC.

[taffimai.livejournal.com]

If she needs a couch, let me know.

Hi, I've been on your girlfriend's flist for some years and got here via threewalls. I'm posting here rather than on wordsofastory as this seems to be where the comments are!

I actually live in central London but the trouble is I only have a one-room flat. So you'd probably be more comfortable with vashtan - but my floor would definitely be better than the street if things go any further wrong for you, so drop me a line (by replying to this commment) if you need to.

Thanks, we're solved for now.

Emailing you with my details now. No offense taken if you'd rather stay with someone you actually know and/or with a living setup you prefer the sound of! My sympathies on the disruption.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks you! I think we've emailed, but just wanted to let you know it's solved for now.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

Mentioned this on my flist in case you need a few more options.

I linked to this on my LJ because I have several friends in the UK, many in and around London, who may be able to help. Good luck with the search, I hope someone comes through for you!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks, we're solvd for now.

[wordweaverlynn.livejournal.com]

I've posted this.

And I should have read comments. Ah well, maybe you can have lunch with someone.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hee. THanks, we're solved for now.

[nex0s.livejournal.com]

I sent out an email to a couple of my UK friends. I'm not sure where they live right now, but maybe it will help! They are all super duper queer friendly - or queer themselves - and I know they both have guest rooms.

Crossing my fingers for you guys!

We have space in Reading for Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights but our spare room is occupied on Tuesday night :( We are on the RailAir link route from Reading to Heathrow so very handy for that. Also, the place is Somewhat Chaotic as we prepare for two weeks of different houseguests, but as long as you're not expecting a hotel it's probably fine :)

I'm here via deza's journal....I have forwarded this post to a friend who used to live in London (foxxina). He still has many friends there. Hopefully one of them will have some crash space for you. Good luck!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks, we're solved for now.

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Forwarded on to a friend in London. Hope something works out soon!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks, we're good for now.

Signal boosted. Fingers crossed. I was stranded by a volcano while traveling as a child. I still don't know how my family managed to find the friend of a friend who picked my brother and I up at the airport and took care of us until flights were being cleared again. That was during one of Mt. St. Helen's smaller eruptions. We were on the ground for the big one, and it was terrifying. Still, this one is grander than any of MSH's, so all I can do is imagine what it's like and see if I can help in any way.

Good luck!

Thanks, we're solved for now. Apparently planes are now doing test flights in the ash, but I think they are CRAZY.

[p-m-cryan.livejournal.com]

Signal boosted.

Good luck.

[rm.livejournal.com]

THank you! WE're solved for now.

[chochiyo-sama.livejournal.com]

This is the cool thing about the internetz. All the connections and the discovery that really good people do exist out there and they are willing to reach out to strangers--for no other reason than that it is the right thing to do.

I'll boost your signal too. I have a few friends in England. Not sure if they can help or not, but they are all super people and diversity friendly. :)

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

I'm getting here late, and it looks like things are already well-handled, but I'm continuing to read just because it gives me the warm-fuzzies.

[marchek.livejournal.com]

I'm putting my feelers out to my non-LJ friends and 'll let you know if that turns up anything.

Should we work out the cat-sittinng details now?

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks. We're good for now.

[torenheksje.livejournal.com]

Signal boosted. Hopefully, you'll be spoilt for choice. Does Patty realize that if you hadn't come along with her, there would be no volcano? Or is she used to it by now? ;cP

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaha. It is true. I can't believe I got the Doctor stuck in America.

We're good for a room now.

[ladyvivien.livejournal.com]

Hi, Catherine Lundoff just emailed me the link to this post - I can't offer you anything tonight, but as of tomorrow (Sunday) we have several sofa beds provided you aren't allergic to cats...

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you (and her), we're solved now.

[agirlnamedluna.livejournal.com]

Am across the channel but boosted your signal. Hopefully you will find something!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you; we're good now.

[cathedral-life.livejournal.com]

It may be a bit too late tonight, but we have a spare room in Central London (saw this message through meirion. Will send you a message.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thank you -- it's from Sunday night on we're worried about, so that and the location sounds potentially spectacular. We're trying to sort this out now, but Patty's still waking up from her sniffly nap.

[nonsecateur.livejournal.com]

OK, so I'm coming in late and it looks like you probably have this covered now,but still: I'm about 1-2 hours away from London, (so not the most convenient location for you!) but the offer's there if you need it :)

[rm.livejournal.com]

We're good, thanks.

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

Ha! Was about to offer to find you a room w/friends, but I see you're well ahead of me (and that I was unaware of what today's date actually is....) - Enjoy extra London, and give Patti nice Lemsip & blackcurrant lozenges (oh - if you can stick a packet of those in yr bags, well....)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Will do. What was the type of tea you wanted again?

[wlotus.livejournal.com]

Passing through via another LJ; just want to let you know I passed your info on to some folks I know.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Thanks. We're good right now.
