All stuff moved from A to B with calm help from @dtl and two great non- English guys with a van.

Pros:
- new landlord seems a decent bloke. Even offered to help with the move
- Three different neighbours said they were sad to see me leave the street and wished me well
- the new studio flat is a perfect rectangle which means I have a variety of layouts available to me
- nothing broke

I have a question about our 'moving house' plans, and I would welcome some thoughts about it.

We have a lot of stuff to get rid of, but also a lot of stuff, (furniture, workshop machines, steel and timber stock, heavy equipment, etc.) that will need to move with us.

My thoughts were to somehow find a local place that has shipping container storage, move it all there while clearing the house, and then move the shipping container when we know where we have moved to.

I don't know if there is such an option locally, at both ends.

I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to do this, or if you have companies that you are aware of that would work like this.

We are in the Greater Manchester are of the UK and moving to rural Wales.

Thank you.

I packed up 7 boxes of books yesterday and only emptied one shelf. But the stacks of books in my living room are gone, so that is a plus. Now to get them all into the new library.

We're #MovingHouse tomorrow! The contents of my kitchen are packed except for essential tea-making paraphenalia. #Tea has punctuated my day of packing & cleaning with deliciousness & a chance to sit down.

Evening Twters!

Sofa and fridge/freezer in today. Little creature comforts from Vinted arrived. Still need a table to eat from, and a bedside table, and I want to get a day-bed for the spare room instead of the put-you-up I have in there now but finances will take time to recover for that!

Tonight, an easy oven-curry, naan, and a glass of fizz out of my very posh wine glasses that I've never used in the 4 years I've had them because they're all that's unpacked so far!

Bliss. 😘

I'm in. Important things dealt with.

I've had tea. Now unpacking boxes.

Bath then bed this evening.

But I'm in!

This morning we moved more than 20 of my large glazed #paintings into storage with a dear friend in #Eynsham, #Oxfordshire, close to our #NewHome - into which we move in just TWO weeks.

Thank goodness for my daughter-in-law & her vintage VW #campervan. 🙏 They'd never all fit in our Mini!

what is the point of a water saving toilet if we have to flush it twice ‽
