Party, packing and moving

Last weekend I had my Bday and farewell party at the same time. I had made lots of food (as you could see from the picture update) and given an open invitation to come over via facebook. I know that you are all eager to know how it all went. I had total of 8 adults and 3 children as guests. Success or not, I'll let you decide.

My sister and brother-in-law came down and were able to take part in the celebrations (that's 2/1). The real reason they were down here, was that they were going to pick up some of my stuff. Well one problem was that they hadn't been able to borrow a big trailer. So Monday morning, after few minutes of thinking about things my brother in law said that we won't be able to fit them all in. So we decided to take some stuff to the recycling center. One full load was taken there (bookshelves, clothes, TV and videos) and later few more to UFF boxes.

Then we fitted my sofa bed and bed to the trailer. First we took the sofa bed and put it in. Then I helped my sister to carry the bed downstairs and at the same time helped my brother in law with the sofa bed. This meant that my sister was holding the bed in mid stairs by herself once in a while. Then we managed to have them both in the trailer, but the canopy (?) did not close. So we took the bed away and change the sofa bed to be flat and tried again. No go this time either. So we took all out and put the bed at the bottom. Then we lifted the sofa bed and turned it 180 degrees on top of the bed while it trying to open up at the same time. But we were successful this time! My nephew was on his nap at this time so we were able to do all this.

Then me and my sister went shopping (needed another box for kitchenware)(she bought some xmas gifts) and one person came to pick up the table so we didn't have to take it to the recycling center. After that we packed hurrily as we went to see our brother and sister-in-law. 

Got to work now, so I'll continue about tuesday some other time.
