Am I completely mad for being addicted to packing?  Maybe it's just because I'm excited about this house move, or maybe it's just cos I'm strange, but I have this incredibly urge to pack everything NOW!  And I'm not moving for two weeks!

I've known I'm going to move at the end of February for some time now, so when I've been bored on nights shifts, I've planned out the move.  I've moved so many times in the past couple of years, that I know which items go in which boxes, etc, so I planned out when I was going to pack which bits, for example books, folders, food, material, clothes, shoes, etc.  But before I could do any packing, I needed to build all of the boxes which had been flatted out in the top of my wardrobe, since my last house move, last May.  So todays job was to re-build the boxes.  That was it.  Except I got carried away and decided to pack half of them....  I've only packed the smaller ones, with pretty much all of my books.  It makes sense to do them first, as I'm unlikely to need many of them in the next two weeks.  And I am in work a lot over the next two weeks, so I need to start packing early.  But still.  I do feel slightly mad / over-organised / excited (depending which way you look at it).  Oh well, it's done now.  I only have to sit on my itching-to-pack-hands for another half hour, when Mr B is picking me up so we can go Up North for the weekend.
