three days and counting

llywela1. Moving house is bad for my tennis elbow.
2. Sometimes browsing the internet makes me despair of humanity.
3. I'm not sure where the hours, days and weeks are going. Wasn't it January just a minute ago?
4. I am moving on Monday and don't feel the slightest bit ready!
5. Seriously. Not ready.
Okay, so this week has been the saga of the flat. I got my keys on Monday and was a bit disappointed to find that the flat had not been professionally cleaned after the previous tenant moved out, as I'd been promised. The landlord is away this week, however, and I'm on a schedule so couldn't wait, so I spent Tuesday evening at the flat with my mum and dad, scrubbing the place down from top to bottom to get it into a suitable condition to move my furniture into next week. Then on Wednesday evening we took a trip to Ikea to buy my new wardrobe and bookshelves, construction of which continued into Thursday and will be completed (hopefully) at the weekend. Also at the weekend, I need to take down all the curtains and nets from the flat for washing before I move in.
And I still have packing to do! I've barely touched the kitchen and bathroom...
I'm not going to finish sorting through all my old files of paperwork and whatnot, not before I move now. I've done a fair bit, but the rest will have to be done post-move.
So I've got next week off, the van is booked for the actual move on Monday. My internet is being disconnected at the house on Monday and not reconnected at the flat until Wednesday - luckily I'll have plenty to do to keep me occupied!
Not convinced yet that we'll manage to get my sofa through those narrow doors and hallways - or that I'll manage to fit all my stuff in - but I daresay we'll find out soon enough.
Catch you all on the flip side! When I will be sleeping for about a week to recover!
