Heh.

Big secret to moving is big plastic storage crates. I spent about 300
quid on 
them before this move for the stuff accumulated since the last move.
Everything 
goes in the crates, the crates go in the van, then they go in the
garage.

It means doing long term storage doesn't require any repacking. Things
like 
terrain are nice and safe, and the only trick required is directing the
crates 
to the right room.

My "office furniature" consists of these cube things from Ikea. You're
supposed 
to fit shelves and doors and things to the cubes, but if you just leave
them as 
cubes... crates go in them.

This time however, I wasn't able to do the moving due to the busted knee
- I 
had a number of enthusiastic helpers. Who seem to have sorted the crates
by 
size first, then colour... not by content...

All of this is probably now unnecessary since I've bought the place and
ain't 
planning on moving again soon.

Old friend to whom I'm renting a room while he finishes up his doctoral 
research says it's the 15th address he's had since starting his PhD. And
good 
god is he skilled at moving... It took him a day to pack, two days to
unpack 
and his entire life would have fitted into the van about three times
over.
