    I hope you have set the money to clear the debt aside AC. It would be a shame if the very motivation for moving in the first place (ie to clear the debt) never happened because you run out of cash. Did you not bring a kitchen bin or kitchen stuff with you from Twickenham?

    Hey AC. Lots going on, you sound very busy but making good progress. I hate throwing stuff away as well and have been forced into it by my partner since we moved. I've kept a few bits that she doesn't know about and put them in the loft :D But got to admit it's nice without any clutter.

    Do you subscribe to any of the music streaming sites? I'm thinking of getting into the 21st century and buying a wireless Bluetooth speaker but it would be best if I had Spotify or Apple Music. Never really understood it that much (I like a CD that is mine!) - any advice would be appreciated

    Hi copperjar :)
    I had a productive Sunday making as much space in the small room as possible . The kitchen is almost there . Same with bathroom.
    But ...more boxes ! I was.very tired in the afternoon and just zonked out in the chair and was too tired to do anything .
    I have to tidy stuff up tomorrow incase James and furniture appear.
    I honestly hope that nothing happens till weds/ thurs so I can clear some more stuff . I love the flat, it would really love it if I was clutter free :)

    I'm not sure how much you intend to spend on your Bluetooth speaker . I went to HMV and bought a Marley get together for £99
    Instead of £170. It was essential For my move into my last flat .
    For the price , the sound is really good . If I had the cash, I would've went for naim cube or ruark . Both give you option for multi room etc

    Regarding downloads : a few people will give you pointers
    Before I moved I joined a Russian side called melodyshop. ( may have different spelling and I lost my password due to my upheaval).
    The music is cheap as Chips and the quality is of the remastered variety. Excellent . It's worth joining Spotify premium for a month .
    Sometimes you get a discount if you rejoin .
    I haven't joined the Apple Music yet , but the quality will be top notch. A very big selection too . I may try it out myself..
    Hope this helps :)

    Thanks AC. I'll have a look into those. I was wanting to spend about £200
    but I must admit those Ruark speakers are very stylish! Might have to go on the birthday/Christmas list!

    Hi Copperjar,
    I have 3 Bose bluetooth stereos in the house and am v pleased with them.
    We don't subscribe to any additional music just stream you tube etc through it. Do you have amazon prime? If so I know they do music streaming included (no idea how good the selection is though).

    Hello Anna :)

    I don't listen to music enough to justify paying for a subscription service, so I use the free version of Spotify. I don't mind the ads, it's just like listening to a commercial radio station.

    Back to work this week AC :(

    Keep telling myself only 5 weeks till summer holidays and 8 weeks off :T:T

    It's a bit daunting isn't it - surrounded by boxes and if you're like me, most uninspiring!

    My eldest daughter is home for Uni today, she's finished forever - 4 years in Newcastle done and dusted - very exciting new chapter of her life about to start. She'll be moving abroad after the summer so that will be hard for me.
