Enjoying the new diary. Hope all goes well.
Just thought - presumably Colin is loving the sold sign as, of course, it was his presence that persuaded the buyers that it was a good place to be?

Selling your house is most definitely not cheating in paying off the debt! I became debt-free with DH's inheritance (and some f&f's) so if your a cheat then so am I (at least i'd be in good company :rotfl:)

.... wine bottle boxes are good and sturdy, especially for books, as they are not too heavy to lift when filled.
Ooh - I'm all in favour of a glass or two of wine but it might be a bit much to drink several wine boxes worth of wine just to be able to use them for packing!!!!:D:rotfl:0 -

Sounds like the start of a wonderful, new adventure.
Once the move is out of the way then you can relax and enjoy your debt freedom with Colin and the boys.:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0 -
Been reading but not posted for ages.
Do you know anyone working in an office/ The boxes photocopier paper comes in is great for books, CD's & DVD's as you can't fill them beyond a weight you can lift. They stack brilliantly too
When we cleared out my Mum's place we found a company that work nationwide. They are auctioneers but also do house clearance. They will take EVERYTHING you don't want. The good bit is they come with a removal lorry, review everything and give you a price for what they can sell and then deduct the cost of getting rid of everything else. We were amazed at how much they gave us for the stuff none of us wanted! Let me know if you want their contact details. Think they were in the Midlands and came to Cambridgeshire for us.
And selling up is by no means cheating

We used masking tape to close some of the boxes we filled when we moved, easy to write on with a permanent marker. Piq, if you know someone who's moved in the last year, they probably have boxes coming out of their ears still.
Good luck, and keep breathing. Chocolate, alcohol and takeaways are necessary expenditure when you are moving, if only to save your sanity . Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j
If all else fails, remember, keep calm and hug a spaniel!0
