    Thanks again
    Had second thoughts about using my brothers mate. I won't use him
    He has to get a big van for the job anyway , and he goes to Spain on Friday .something says 'let the professionals do it'.
    So, it comes down to :look for storage and removal ASAP / put deposit on both / go to charity shop and get them to collect bed and computer desk /
    Buy packing boxes for glass(they have dividers -easy).
    Tell all utilities the score.

    Oh, I wonder if that's the one I looked at? It was lovely and bright and modern :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning AC (it's 0627 here in Oz) well done, try that firm I posted about for both removal and storage, two things in one then if their price is right.
