Humping complete (FALC)
Posted: Mon Mar 04, 2013 6:58 pm
After a long weekend of sweatily humping boxes (arf!), we've now moved into our new gaff in Kintore.
Big thanks to BigD for making mortgage magic happen, and to all SEers who helped or offered to lend a hand.. very much appreciated. If I'd accepted the many offers of assistance we could almost have made a chain from the old house to the new one and just passed the boxes along!
Things I’ve learned this weekend:
1. I’m not as fit as Victoria’s dad, and he’s been retired for *cough* years.
2. Kintore has good fish ‘n’ chips, but very bad pizza.
3. Moving house is a good excuse for not cooking for a couple of days (see 2).
4. My commute is only 4 miles more each way, which is only 2 minutes at an average of 120mph.
5. 86.3% of my possessions are never used, but are too good to throw out, so live in a permanent state of storage.
6. 46.4% of my unused possessions are fitness equipment (see 1).
7. Fitness equipment is heavy (see 6).
8. I dislike energy saving lightbulbs immensely. Henceforth, I shall be referring to them as darkbulbs.
9. I’m paranoid about all strange new house noises. Every creak is definitely either a poltergeist or imminent structural catastrophe.
10. I must urgently buy either curtains or pyjamas.
