We’re planning to rent the flat out part-furnished for a while – at least until we know we’re settled in Vancouver and to allow the market to pick up a bit more (Tim bought the flat basically a week before the crash!).
We’ve been getting rid of stuff and reorganising for the past wee while, then spent this weekend ferrying stuff to and from our storage unit, the tip, charity shops and my parent’s house (my sister has just bought a flat and will be getting various bits of our furniture for it).
Yesterday, we got the British Heart Foundation to pick up some large bits of furniture that otherwise would have gone to the tip (sofabed, bookshelves etc). If you’re getting rid of furniture in Aberdeen, I would highly recommend the BHF collection service – booked online on Friday, phone call confirmation on Saturday, two guys in a van on Monday (after phoning my mobile when they were 30 minutes away, so I could get home from work), done in 10 minutes! Instant Neighbour were booked up all this week and Barnardo’s could only manage on Wednesday.
Tim’s parents very generously offered to come up to Aberdeen for a few days and paint everything, so we spent last night moving things away from the walls and generally making things easier to shift around.
So 29 days to go and the flat is looking bare.
In happier news, Miss 604 has just published the list of events for August and it’s really weird to realise that we’ll be actually in the city for some of them!
