Well that's reassuring. It's a good sign when things don't explode. Unless of course you want them to. But that's a whole other situation.

I'm glad the move went well! I know that kind of thing is tough, especially with little ones running around.

And now, I can start in on my plans for you....

Glad to see you survived your move Dormagus. I moved back in August and I STILL haven't got things under control! Presently trying to find all winter clothing and pack up some of the summer stuff. The closet space here is extremely limited....and I don't have kids...well moving the 4 furchildren was an adventure in itself.

I moved 5 years ago, and some of the stuff I had to remove from my basement, due to the flood, was boxes I had not unpacked from that move. Now I am all packed again, and trying to find the time to go through boxes.

I am beginning to think if I did not need it all summer I probably will not use it again. Then I open a box and find decorations for one fo the holidays. So I guess I can not just randomly chuck out boxes.

I'll be happy when all the boxes are labeled properly and more or less in the right section of the basement. I drove the friends packing for us crazy with "label it properly!" to little avail. (One couldn't find a dark colour near the end, so used pink highlighter to scribble out the previous words in black; other times they labeled one side, but didn't notice the old label on the other.)

I keep a stack of labels and good marker downstairs and sometimes treat myself to an adventure.

And then there are the ones labeled "Mommy winter coats for charity; check first." Grrrr.

CB..I feel for ya...When I started packing the boxes I labeled everything but towards the end it was..."just shove it in a box..deal with it later. I also had to deal with roach infestation, the perils of living in an apartment building! Everything got inspected, cleaned, and sealed up tight, so much tape that it makes Grand-ma's Xmas present wrapping job look amateur.

Then onced moved to the new place, the boxes were unloaded onto back veranda which has a roof, so they were protected from rain, then inspected again. The only hitch-hikers we found had lodged themselves under the matting and frames of some of my prints. I left most of my furniture behind, but it was still hellish hot and waiting for an elevator with 3 other families moving in and out was a pain in the ass! I hate it!

I certainly don't enjoy moving...and it's been some time since I did it. But I shudder to think of what it will be like when we finally leave this house.... we've certainly accumulated a lot of stuff!!!!
