Kick Starting the move

We are moving house! Since Monday we have been sprucing up our flat ready to sell. My Mum and Dad have really got stuck in cleaning, painting and fixing things and it is looking very good. We had 60 things on the todo list and are left with around 40 tasks to complete ahead of Wednesdays valuations. 
We are paring back everything and going for a clean bright airy feel but still retaining some of the personality in our flat. Mum and Dad think it should all be packed away and we should be left in a magnolia box but luckily Emma and I share the opinion that a home is for living in!


So far we have


  • Sorted through all our books and decided that we don't need 125 of them!
  • Painted the hall, stairs, bathroom and kitchen 
  • moved some light fittings
  • de cluttered the living room kitchen, hall way, bathroom and dressing room
  • gone through all our clothes and shoes and given lots away to charity (and some (long overdue) to the bins)
  • thrown away 5 bags of rubbish and recycled 4 boxes of paper and hundreds of carrier bags
  • sorted all our CD's in to keep, sell, find cases, find cd
  • cleaned out several cupboards and the fringe and freezer
  • refitted and fixed a few drawers
  • rehung 2 blinds
  • fixed numerous bits of things
  • had a bad and ridiculously over charged man clean the gutters and clean 2 windows (he was supposed to do more but didn't)
  • sent 6 boxes and 2 chairs to my parents house for storage
  • dusted, cleaned, vacuumed, swept and moped
Thank you so much mamma and papa!
