Moving house

[chrisvenus]

So if I were to attempt to do some moving of house tomorrow (ie saturday) who would feel willing to help? This is partly subject to getting a van but I suspect that shouldn't be too hard. I'm aching a bit form the Gym this morning but figure I should be fine to carry stuff around tommorrow.

My vague plan is to make sure I can rustle up some helpers (ie some of you lot) and then book the van and then confirm with people.

I suspect I will probably plan to start after lunch sort of time tomorrow (I'll want some time to try to make sure everything is in a good state to just load up and go). It should be relatively easy work for the most part you'll be pleased to know. There are only a couple of big bulky items (a large bookcase, double mattress (other bits of the bed are much more manageable since it all comes apart) a chest of drawers and a big cardboard box full of stuff.

So if you are up for helping leave a comment here (possibly pointing me at contact details in case I need to phone to confirm things rather than just posting to LJ before I leave work).

Umm... This is kind of exiting. I might be spending my first night in my new house soon. :)

Edit: Just to be clear I'm expecting most people to have other stuff to do or just to feel they are not particularly enthused by the idea of moving house for somebody, etc. Please don't feel you need to apologise for not helping out. I've got all the time in the world to do this pretty much and can in theory cope with help from only one person. It is nice to have "sorry I can't make it" so I'm not going to complain if you do post that but I want to make sure nobody is worrying about not being able to help or leaving me in the lurch or anything. :) (Yeah, I'm probably worryign too much)

Yeah, I knew that already. No worries.

Sorry, I'm helping anotherusedpage move house tomorrow. It seems to be moving season!

[chrisvenus]

That's cool. I think there are two or three people who commented on my last post or elsewhere that may be able to help and that's really all I need. The more the merrier of course but I'll be fine. Good luck with your helping people tomorrow. :)

Sorry mate, still on my six day week of work hell.

[chrisvenus]

Cheers for the thought then. If you're working six day weeks though then the last thing you'd want to do is move house, even if you were available, I'm sure. :)

If you get no other offers then give me a call and I'll come and help out.

(But otherwise I probably won't since it involves asking lathany to look after the twins when she has an exam next week.)

[chrisvenus]

I've already had one offer off list (as it were) so no need to put yourself out. Cheers for the offer though.

I can help - give me a call.

Sadly I can't offer to help much on saturday as I've got a choir thingy on. If you're hard pressed send me an email and I may be able to do something late in the afternoon.

Offer of a fridge freezer and futon sofa beddy thing still stand though the latter will require some dismantling and extraction and the best time for picking up either would be after 5pm...
