I'm still boring.

nimthiriel We've finished moving. The unit is empty and clean, and we've returned the keys.
Phil's parents' place (henceforth to be referred to as "home") still looks like a bomb hit it, but it's slowly improving. I just took a whole lot more stuff to the op shop. I never thought I'd feel guilty about donating things, but they're pretty damned full and I'm just adding to it. So if you need to buy clothes or crockery or furniture, I recommend you go to the RSPCA op shop in Burwood because they need to clear some shelf space!
I'm finding it really difficult do do a lot of the tidying and sorting on my own. This is mainly because Cathy (my mother-in-law) needs to be around to decide where things can go. Hopefully a fair bit of that will happen tomorrow and we'll clear some space.
I've got 3 bags full of winter clothes to be sent to China early, and one still to be filled. That'll also clear a bit of space, and then we can start looking at what we want to actually have shipped. Then we can start another cull of things we're not keeping for when we get back, and hopefully by the time that's done we'll have a few weeks left before we need to pack and fly out!
It helps that Phil has quit his job (last day today), and has got a goal date for thesis submission. It means more time and more flexibility to get everything done, and more time to spend catching up with people :-)
