The Frog Prince and I are now in our new pad!
The move went really smoothly in the end… the weather held, the boxes were all packed by the time the removal company arrived, and the concerns we had about all our stuff actually fitting have turned out to be (mostly) unfounded.
We’re pretty much unpacked and settled with most of what we need day-to-day in some sort of semi-permanent home… and anything that we can’t find a home for (or haven’t used for all the time we were in Birmingham *cough*Lou’s stuff*cough*) will be sold/freecycled/charity shopped. All our stuff is now in fear for its life!
