Worst bit is probably not the moving out but the setting up in the new place, especially if you're like me and just shove everything into black bags. still haven't sorted anything out 1 week in, other than my computer, decks and speakers

This is actually my favourite bit. I spent the whole of yesterday sorting this out.

stick some music on, get some beers in and get everything just how you like it smile

If I had a cheap train ticket to London + some time off, rest assured that I would have been there to help you!

Re: moving house

man, the easiest bit of all this was sorting out the gas, electric and water... "whats your name?" "whats your address?" "when did you move in?"

"thanks very much Mr Mitchell, thats it done."

lovely. smile

Ive moved 6 times in the last 4 years... I should be used to this by now!!

hmm

Re: moving house

i got friends to help me move once. looking back it would have been much cheaper to hire some polaks for the day. i fed and watered them, replaced all the shit they broke, cost a packet man

Re: moving house

Now the redecorating part starts, always more fun than the moving...

I moved 7 times in the past 9 years, first time with 50 records, last time with 2500... the records don't suck that much actually if you got good size crates, it's the big/heavy things like the washingmachine and lounge chairs that always get me....

Re: moving house

Byrons fucking deck stand is by far one of the heaviest things Ive got. That thing is a pain in the arse to move.

Re: moving house

yeah, really have to do that. Next weekend sounds ok to me, I'll keep a spot free! (Saturday? Sunday always seems to be a "I'm having a hangover and still have to finish a lot of work" day)

Re: moving house

I've had to move soon to be about 4 times in the last year. They've all sucked but only after the fact for a day or two, not the actual moving my stuff (records sorta, beds are easy to sell, and I always have had a small bed)  when I realized I've either misplaced something or crashed a car.
