Today was Pip and Liam's moving day. It rained all the way there but stopped just after we arrived. We arrived at around 8.00 - Pip was just getting up after a night out. Shaun arrived just after us with a van - luckily there was room for both vehicles in front of their old place. I packed boxes with Pip's help while the others started moving stuff down. The bed caused a problem as it wouldn't come apart - so Shaun used a little percussion therapy on it!
We were ready to drive over to the new house about 1.00 - it took a while! Sam and I got stuck behind a protest march! We walked round the corner and had lunch in a little cafe to revive us - £25.00 for us all to eat and have a drink - Sam paid.
Once we arrived at the new flat it was an effort to carry everything upstairs as we were all a little weary by this stage in the day - but we did it! I helped Pip make up the bed - slight hitch as bedding is too small for the new bed but we made it fit the best we could - at least they have somewhere to collapse onto now! We left Pip and Liam to unpack and arrange their things - Liam wanted to clean the kitchen as evidence of mice had been spotted! The weather smiled on us with even some sunshine - and just one short shower of rain!
Shaun left for home at about 4.30and we left at 4.45 - we were home just before 5.30 so that was good. Shaun arrived just after and we unloaded the bits Pip and Liam want to store / dispose of into the garage.
Sam and I were both shattered after a very busy day!

Lucky for them that both you and Sam went to help....i think the old bed may be a small double, four foot, so does this mean the new one is a king if the bedding doesn't fit.
