GRIPE NIGHT #18 - MOVING

One of the most annoying things we need to do in life is when we have to pack up all our things and move out of a place.

Whilst it can often be exciting to be moving into a new home, we never realise just how much crap we keep in our cupboards and wardrobes until its time to count how many boxes it takes to contain it all.

It is a good opportunity to chuck all this stuff out but if you are like me and far too sentimental to not think there may be a use for that gift you got at 22 even though you still haven't used it and you are nearly 40.

I hate packing, I really do.

I hate how the gaffer tape sticks to my arm hairs and gives me an instant, artistic wax job.

I hate having to trudge up and down the stairs box after box to load up the car.

And what is your reward after moving everything out of the place? You get to clean it!

All that dust that's built up over the months of dwelling there behind furniture and under the bed and lounge.

All that scum that has stained the tiles in the bathroom and laundry you always meant to clean but never got around to.

And who really washes the walls and windows on a regular basis? Honestly?

Well I don't think I have met anyone who likes packing up a place and I am certainly one of those people.

But what about removalists? Those expensive slow moving shysters with all those catches in the contract to nickel and dime you even though you were given a quote for much less!

Well that part of it is not an issue for me anymore because I am lucky enough to have an old classmate in the business who is awesome to hire.

They only charged me $100 an hour for the two gents and they are not just hard working but they are very friendly and pleasant on the job. No back to base or extras of any kind at all! I even had a tricky entrance too, being on a main road, and they found a way around that very bravely.

Best of all, they are Bulldog supporters :-)

But this is not an ad for them haha you can check them out for yourselves if you like.

HAPPY DAYS REMOVALS INFORMATION

I will certainly be giving them a call when its time for me to move out of my apartment, which might be soon as my apartment is now being leased as you can see below.

But I still hate moving, but you do what you can to make it easier.
