We're in

Only one more urgent trip to the Isle of Wight will be needed before I can well and truly say we've moved. Almost everything is here and it looks hopeful that we've got tenants lined up short term for the bungalow.
Now the challenge is fitting everything in and sorting everything out and coping with everything being lost or packed or unreachable.
With only three rooms to play with, the nightmare is that the full boxes are making inaccessible the places where the contents of the boxes need to go in order to empty them... although now that my brother has headed home for a few weeks I guess I can use the bed as storage space and simply continue sleeping on the sofa for a while. But there are boxes in front of all the cupboards, boxes in front of the wardrobes and chests of drawers, boxes in front of the bookshelves.... I will stay sane, I will, I will.
And I have discovered one downside of having solid, fairly soundproof, warmth-retaining walls - they are so solid that it takes immense strength, patience and power tools even to put a picture hook into them, so all shelf fitting and picture hanging is having to be delegated.
But it's ours (well, OK, technically it isn't, cos it's rented) and I love it.
