Moving house. What a pain in the you know what.

We've been sorting through the garage over the last few weeks. I've had to bite the bullet and take a whole car full of 'useful bits of wood that might come in handy' to the tip. Of course, two weeks later I wanted to fit a shelf in the garage having just binned a good sheet of plywood that would have done the job nicely!

The funny thing is, the bailiffs in that programme only operate in England and Wales but when they heard you were about to be evicted they were fighting each other to do the job :-)

They better arrive team handed because I am up for a square go.
 
I read the title, and I thought hey that's nice, a pain in the you know what, and we all know what the what is, but how considerate of the op to be gentle about it.. then, in 1st sentence the phrase 'loads of cunts' is used..
You fooled me Magicpole

You fooled yourself thinking I had gone all nice.
 
Moving to an apartment/flat has it's pluses and minuses, plus is you have to get rid of a lifetime of crap.
Minimalist now, everything digital including the wedding album, 30 photo albums binned after digitalising. CD's, Vinyl, DVDs, endless books, 50% of clothes, gardening equipment, tools, the fucking lot, gone.

It actually feels good.
 
Tried to shift it, couldn't even lift it
We was gettin' nowhere
And so, we had a cuppa tea
Right said Fred, give a shout to Charlie
Up come Charlie from the floor below
After strainin' even complainin' we was gettin nowhere........
 
I’ve moved three times in the last six years, my Sister has moved twice in six years and my parents moved out of their house last year, have been living at my Uncle’s for a year, and are moving into their new-build in two weeks…

…and I always seem to be the one who does all the heavy lifting!

I currently live in a second floor flat with no lift. Moving in here was one of the hardest workouts I’ve ever had.

The story from now is "when I moved into my flat I popped a disc in my lower back and gave myself a hernia, sorry guys I can't help"

When I moved in here, my Dad had just had a knee op so could barely do any heavy lifting. Good excuse I have this time is that I’ve been very unwell for about ten months and I’m just getting over tearing the ligaments in my ankle at Wembley so I’m going to have to take it pretty easy!

I won’t get any off the family when they want their mattress with something stupid like 30,000 springs in that weighs about two tonnes, lifting up the stairs, either.
