Sympathies on the book packing - I feel your pain, I've now got the equivalent of two, four foot long, six shelf units, and its taken me *years* to get down to that

Another van load (50-odd boxes) gone. So it's just the big stuff to go into storage and the small stuff to go in the car.5

Final day of movers packing today. They're pretty much done and hopefully will be gone soon so I can clean, pack the car and head off to stay with friends tonight. Completion should be tomorrow.5
