to be sat on my arse instead of packing...

[natandchris10]

we move on saturday..everything is going in storage.. all i have done is pack the toiletries im just sat watching catch up tv...

aibu??

similar to me, having a nightmare, move in 3weeks, keep looking around and wondering where on earth i begin.

im hoping for some divine insporation, but have told myself today not to worry!!

had a nightmare morning and CBA right now!

YABVU get off your jacksie and do some bloody work, you slattern.

we have known for 2 months were moving, iv had loads of time loads.....

trashy tv is so much fun though.. i keep making excuses..the baby needs feeding..i need feeding blah blah

oh will literally kill me if i have made no progress by tonight

i see there's a few of us in the same boat! i move next thursday (offically, but i collect the keys tomorrow) i'm having a break and avoiding the shed.

I've done the bathrooms, dd's room and the front room and airing cupboard! kitchen, hallways/cupboards, ds's rooms and my room to go- and outside!

Just a tip though- you WILL need more boxes, and if you get free recycling bags from the council go and stock up- fab for linens etc

I move next Friday - have packed ooh about 3 boxes of books. Really need to get off arse and do packing but no energy when get home from work in evenings. Will blitz it over the weekend... not

okay i have made progress..i have put some washing in...

you guys have time on your side....i move saturday AM?! help...

i need lists lol

if only we could..i spent yesterday paying bills up to date..the boxes and tape are staring at me lol

You probably ABU but I HATE packing it is just the most soul destroying thing ever, I struggle for motivation packing before/after a weekend away, let alone moving house.

Do you have any friends/family you can emotionally blackmail invite to come round and help you? Make a big pot of tea/coffee, provide a selection of s and crack on together? I found that REALLY helped last time we moved, not just because of the extra manpower but it was much more motivating.

Good luck with the move, I hope your new house is fab - linky to details?

hmm emotional blackmail asking for help sounds like a good idea!!

hope this link works? we cant move in untill 15th october fingers crossed on completion?!!,so we have to stay with family untill then

I'm moving a week today and have barely started packing! We've done the CDs and books and some office stuff but all the day-to-day stuff is still in cupboards and I haven't a clue where to begin.

update=

i have packed our books/cds/games and realised its lunchtime so i deserve a break

Packing is nothing but evil. I despise it more than words can say. I hate it more than I hate that Twilight shite.

you def deserve a break - use the time wisely and do that link properly - it just went to the home page (pardon the pun) rather than the specific house!

i escaped packing and went and bought paint still got to do the shed though [urghhh]

o ginge im sorry.. urm i will try

has everyone gone to pack [worried] i look at the house and feel sick tbh- i cannot believe that everything is going to manage to get itself into boxes

i've packed the shoes now, and taken all the pics off the walls waiting for the removal fairies now!

how is everyone else getting on?

hi really!!

well i made some good progres!

i have emptied the storage cupboard and the contents are across the lounge floor so i guess i should try sorting it out...

i also took a trip to argos for more vacuum bags which i say have come in handy!

i also took picturs!! yay xx

Excellent, well done you :)

pictures..sorry i can spell honest...

i'm scared of the loft..... and the shed- there's spiders in both. Dh isn't getting involved unless i give him specific instruction- i think its safest all round tbh, he's doing all the running around and bits and bobs- just sent him for curtain hooks, wine and sandpaper

well done on the cupboard- its amazing how much crap lurks around the house isn't it! chuck EVERYTHING unless it moves or is essential in some way- you really don't need the instruction booklet for the tv that blew up 4 years ago GOOD LUCK

the cupboard was full like literally fell out when i opened the door...

i got it down to a little pile of what we actually 'need'

i have packed the kitchen aswell so made progress this afternoon.

hmmmmm wine!? i dont drink but im temtped lol

i'm done for the day now, i've still got to tackle:
ds's room (mostly packed)
my room (not touched... dh keeps moving things into piles!)
kitchen
shed
loft
garden
under stairs

But i'm too excited about getting the keys tomorrow to do anything else

DS is off school today so I've told him we're having an adventure.

"If we clear out the cupboard under the stairs, we might find the secret door that leads to Narnia...!"

He's battering the door wanting to get started whilst I'm sat here with coffee and toast. Eeeeexcellent!

Hope everyone else is getting on well with the packing!
