Living together

On the 31st of May Connor and I picked up our keys for our new flat. I had been looking forward to and been terrified of the moving in day for a good few weeks. Terrified because we live on the 3rd floor with no lift. Lee took the day off work and helped us move. Her and Connor came up in the jeep. I don't know how they managed to pack the jeep so full, but they did. After going up the stairs the first time the sweat was dripping off all of us - it was going to be a long day. It took us about 2 hours to move Connor's stuff up into the flat. Luckily Lee had brought snacks; if she hadn't I have no idea how we would have survived. While Connor started assembling furniture we had bought in IKEA the week before, Lee and I went over to my old flat and moved my stuff into the jeep and drove back to the new flat. It was time to get going again. Up and down until we once again collapsed on the sofa trying to catch our breath. Lee was a real life saver that day, I see no way of Connor and me doing all of that alone and actually survive. That whole night we spent unpacking and assembling furniture. The shower I had that night might have been the best shower of all time. I was planning on staying awake until Connor was done with his shower, but it just did not happen. I slept like a baby that night. The next day was spent doing more unpacking and more organizing. Unfortunately we didn't have enough shelves and storage units to put things away in, so there was not all that much we could do. Or maybe that was just the excused we used and the real reason was us being stiff from the day before. Steph came over and had a take out with us and checked out the flat. That Sunday Lee, Dannie and Jack came up to check out the flat. They took us over to Springkerse Retail Park and she bought more shelves, a hoover and a few small things for the flat. Now, two weeks after moving in we are all set up, finally have internet (that we only just got today) and are as happy as we can be. Life is good.

Most of my stuff, ready to go. Can't believe that when I moved here 2 years ago I only had two suitcases with me!
