Hot, sweaty bedroom action

I'll apologise upfront for any typos, Lester (the cat) is 'helping' me by walking all over the keyboard.

Back to all that bedroom action........

Seemed like a good idea at the time to have wardrobes fitted into our bedroom. With new wardrobes I mighted be tempted to put things away. The nice man came, measured up, quoted a reasonable (who am I trying to kid) price that I justified by saying I'd have spent more on cigs if I still smoked. So we (the royal we) said 'Ooooh yes please.' 'Ha, ha, sucker,' said the nice man, 'we'll come and do it on 6th September.'

And then they rang up and said 'Lucky you, we can fit you in on 29th August.' Which might have been lucky - except we had to do everything else.

The everything else involved clearing out everything from the spare bedroom, sending the furniture to charideeee, redecorating, including wallpapering, and shampooing the carpet. Then we had to move everything out of Theo's bedroom, including dismantling his wardrobes and moving them to the spare bedroom - and taking all his other furniture downstairs to go to charidee - and decorating, and carpet shampooing.

Next up was dismantling the wardrobes from our bedroom and moving some to the spare room and some to Theo's room.

And shifting all those bloody clothes in and out of wardrobes, into charity bags, into the bin and those items that weren't fit for any of those things into bags for my sisters to poke through. Now we're down to undies in carrier bags in our bedroom and full storage boxes for bedside tables. And bits of stuff eveywhere.

It may be dull, it may be raining but it's still August and too hot to be heaving all this stuff around.

Anyway, yesterday the furniture charidee people came to collect (a day early??) the furniture; so we're 1 x double wardrobe, 1 x 7-drawer chest, 2 x 3 drawer bedside chests, 1 x white Ikea table, 1 x 3 drawer wooden chest, 2 x bookshelves lighter than we were, and this morning 4 large bags went to the ordinary charity collection.

Does the house look any tidier? As if!
