Ohhh Boy!!!!!
Here I was thinking that I had made some sort of head way in the packing department, I had the house just about all done. The storage unit arrived and with a few friends to help we started loading it all in. I got everyone to start for the out side in. Now the storage unit that we got is 2.4 x 2.4 x 4.5m, so they started with the trampoline and a small shed that I thought would fit as it is the size of a small wardrobe, how wrong was I. So the shed had to be dismantled which took alot of time to do it. So the mini shed went in and then they started to pack in the under house and the small garden shed. And hell I think that the boxes that were in there must have had the magic pudding syndrome, because they just kept coming and coming and coming. So by now half the unit was filled. And we hadn't even started on the inside yet. So while everyone was doing the outside I was doing the finishing touches to the packing on the inside. And just when I thought I had finished I realized that I hadn't done the kitchen. (Duhhh, which was my blonde moment for the day). So the boys got working on the boxes in the house. And let’s just put it this way. After 2 days work and a large storage unit there is hardly any furniture added. Which really means it is all full of boxes. And what other things that aren’t' boxes has been filled will STUFF.
That night a friend had rang to see how we went, so after explain the day to her, and the story about the shed which we were in tears with laughter about the trial and tribulations of taking it apart, she says "Ohh we could have stored that for you" well hello you knew that we were moving, you knew that we were doing this today, you knew that things were going into storage, why the bugger didn't you say something ealier. (the gall of some people).
So now I have to ring the storage people on Tuesday and get them to change the smaller unit for a larger unit. And hopefully then the furniture can go in. However the problem with that is that I now have to hire someone to come and fill that unit, as time is getting away from us and hubby has to go back to work.
AND ALL I CAN SAY IS WHERE DID ALL THIS STUFF COME FROM.
I swear there is a conspiracy somewhere against me with all the things that have accumulated over the years, and how much can be hidden under a house. So in all of this I have tried to find some humor and all I can say is thank goodness for being bald as I am sure this would have turned me grey.
(Sorry if you find that in bad taste).
