We didn't quite manage the shops today.

And if we had woken up at a respectable time, we still wouldn't have made it.

The fact is that we had run out of space to put things, and if we had bought more stuff there would have been even less space for the. As a result, we decided on having a packing day. Tons of stuff made it into the trailer for taking down to the dump, and even more stuff made it into the pile for Oxfam. Whatever was I doing with all those clothes? Worse than a woman, I can tell you. And there were even a few things that made it into the pile to take home, much to everyone's surprise.

When we had a van-load of rubbish for the tip we took it along. We arrived there at 15:46 only to find that the tip closed at 15:45 and they refused to take the stuff. That was rather sad.

Anyway the place looks a lot different now - you can actually move around in here after a fashion. Tomorrow is going to be a day of taking things to the dump and if we aren't careful we might even manage the shops.
