We’ve been packing up bits and pieces around the house for a few weeks now, mostly getting everything out of the loft and chucking lots of things away. Today we reached the point where we’d be packing things we need and use, so it was time to start on the Shed. Thankfully most things are stored in small boxes and drawers anyway, so it was just a case of piling them all up inside the big packing boxes. I’m trying very hard to pack like with like, so I don’t have to rummage through a dozen boxes to find one small thing at the other end. We’re going to need a LOT more boxes to fit everything in.
The fabric and thread are all staying out for a little while longer, and I’ve also held on to one big reel of elastic, so I’ll be making things that I can put together with no other haberdashery – everything else is in one of those big boxes up the corner!
Now I just need to try and stay patient a bit longer. We found out yesterday that it had taken one set of solicitors (not ours, thankfully) an utterly ridiculous TWO WEEKS to deliver the latest round of paperwork, which is infuriating. We could have moved in by now, if they weren’t taking so long! And they’re being paid a small fortune, to apparently not do their job very well. Like I said, infuriating!
Still. We’re getting rid of some more things today – 90 paper bags and a couple of hundred CD cases are moving on to new homes. Then I just need to get rid of one lovely-but-rusty bike, and my old sewing machine and overlocker.
We’re getting there.
Slowly.
Are you looking for a home for/trying to sell the overlocker? I might be interested if so..? Hope you’re well. xx
