The third van load of stuff has been removed, and there really isn’t an awful lot left here. Have just offered two large items of furniture on freecycle, hope someone can collect tomorrow, or guess landlord will charge us for leaving them behind 🙁
There’s probably about 4 carloads of stuff here for charity shops and the tip, maybe more, and that’s what me and the kids are doing tomorrow morning, along with posting stuff off and sorting remnants into “can go into storage” or “need to fit in boot to go to new house”. Looks like my plants are going to have to cope at old house without me for a week, Tim is planning on coming up then to cut grass, and if I haven’t got everything sorted here by then, I’ll have to come back and sort it, which doesn’t appeal at all.
It’s been a heck of a slog, made more complicated by the fact that I don’t want to strain myself or risk anything, so I’ve been avoiding all the heavy lifting that usually I’d do my fair share of. I’ve also just been feeling generally grotty, which I’m trying (and failing) to feel positive about, and I’m a bit rocked by the news that a friend I used to work with has just been diagnosed with Aspergers. I know her well – used to stop at her house before we moved up and it had honestly never crossed my mind as a possibility. She’s been statemented she says, and is getting various benefits and tax reliefs as well. So there you go. I told her she might enjoy Big Bang Theory
and apparently she’s already getting tips from Bones
😉
Anyways, one more day of it all, and tomorrow night, I sleep in my bed in our new house. Off to bed (camping mat, but at least I’m using silk duvet!) now, as hoping to wake up early and get on with stuff.
