Right, we've moved!
H loves the garage (and the house - he hadn't seen it before so I was really nervous about my choice!) and the old bookshelves have been reconsigned to hold his many spares and tools.
While unpacking I found qnother two large bags worth of stuff to go to a charity shop! I was shocked at that. Ther is always something!
I am loving having more kitchen cupboards, so instead of overflowing, they're half empty.
Aunt Cloud, H has so much cable clutter that I have assigned a couple of boxes in a cupboard and they can all live in there!
H sorted through his boxes (the empty gadget ones) and the ones remaining have gone into the new loft with the flattened packing boxes, and we aren't alowed to put anything else up there anyways.
i'm hoping to post soem new photos soon, but I am at the in-laws this weekend, and my camer is at home. I hated moving thr stuff ourselves (I swear I'll kil H if we don't get a removal company next time - I did not enjoy carrying the washing machine up the stairs to the entrance)
The linen closet was easy to unpack and pack - it was already in preassigned boxes - straight out of one cupboard, into the van - straight into the cupboard at the other side. The sorted odds and ends drawers did the same :).
Mid america mum - I know what you mean. Landlord just told him he knew of a rare series landrover for sale. Grrrrrrr
To day was an ikea trip - we had a dining table but no chairs - so we got 4 cheap folding ones that can be repurposed as patio furniture when we get our first new dining table set. I also bought a cutlery tray as I didn't have one, two mats to keep dirt out and two rugs to catch the tea spills on the new carpet. H got some more garage shelves. All in all, not too bad!
