Bracing myself...

... for the next splurge of packing activity. I realised today that I have less than a fortnight before the removal men arrive to take away most of my worldly goods, so I really need to crack on with it. I must admit to be aided and abetted in this task by a rather large glass of red wine, which it has to be said is making the whole thing a lot less awful than it could otherwise be! I'm running out of boxes scarily quickly, even though I kept all the boxes I moved with last time (a friend once described my loft as containing the European cardboard box mountain, and he wasn't far wrong), so it looks like I'll have to go on the scrounge at work next week.

Right now I'm bracing myself for (*fanfare*) the cupboard under the stairs. When I moved here I was thrilled with the huge amount of storage space I had. Now I've got to unpack it all and repack it I'm slightly less enamoured of it, to be honest. But, the silver lining to the cloud, my camping stuff is in there so I can remind myself I'm getting ready for Greenbelt as well as packing everything up. I'm also going to end up using my camping stuff as crockery once I've packed my kitchen stuff up, so I may as well retrieve it now. I think I'm going to need another few swigs of wine before I dare open the door though!
