Help!
I'm moving house and am surrounded by boxes and things I haven't packed and things that I should have packed but haven't.
And batteries. It's amazing how many batteries I've found.

Anyway I came on here for a bit of sanity. If that's any indication as to how I'm feeling this evening.
Frazzled doesn't cover it.

But I thought I'd pop on and say hi.

Hi.

Nom
Thanks!
Well I got a job and Mr VP has moved back with me from London and we found a house and bought it and are moving in on Friday.

Hence the boxes.

What have I missed? How the devil are you? Have you had lots of epic bashness?

LABEL THE BOXES CLEARLY
Even if it's only Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom etc... Anything miscellaneous you might as well bin now as you wont find it or use it ever again. You'll thank me once you've moved :)

Hmm
At the moment I have boxes that should be labeled Crap1, Crap2, Kitchen Stuff, Hair Product (it takes a lot to tame my hair), Clothes I Hope To Fit In Again One Day.

Oh hello again.
I'm in a box-sorting frenzy so I feel your pain.
My top tip is to have a box kept to one side containing teabags, kettle and a variety of soothing biscuits.

Good Point
I already had a mild panic at the thought of no tea and unpacking so Mr VP has a supply of tea and biscuits. He's so sweet, he brings it everywhere because he knows I have a head like a sieve and am likely to throw a wobbly without tea.

Blimey, I sound a bit unstable this evening don't I? I think I might be.

DiT Top Tip No. 2 in a series of 97
Don't go to a b3ta bash the night before you move, partake of ales, and then return to your as yet unpacked flat and try to box up while drunk with your prospective in-laws. The day after will also be very, very painful, and no-one will have any sympathy for you.

You just had to ruin the lovely lady thread, didn't you
I was about to stroll in, cock first, but you just went and spoiled it. Thanks DiT, thanks a bunch.

then I consider it a bonus.

I shall crouch here and lurk a while.

RJD would crouch there and RAWK a while.

I hate packing.
My top tips are:
1) don't put all your books in one box. They fit very nicely but you'll never lift the bugger.
2) Put all that is required to make tea in one box and make that the first thing you set up in the house.
3) Try not to become distracted by peoples cocks.

Ha, as if 3) is possible.

Bloody hell, it's Lucy!
Don't pack all your clothes away. Take them out of the wardrobe, leave them on the hangers and lay them all on the bed.
Wrap the duvet around them and move them like that.
Just need to hang them up at t'other end then.

Excellent tippage, here.
Also, when transporting your broadsword, make sure it's not on show. Armed police may arrive and shoot you in the face, which will put something of a downer on your moving day.

If I think about RJD too much, I won't sleep.

If I think about RJD *enough*
He shall appear to me, and grant me sleep, and we shall walk through the hills and mountains of RAWK while he tells me tales of his travels on the wings of sweet, sweet RAWK.

RJD played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded RAWKAXE and won.

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 5 Oct 2009, 22:29, Reply)

RJD doesn't wear a watch. HE decides what time it is, and it's time to RAWK.
