So we are finally leaving Studio 109 for the greener pastures of Dublin 1.Moving, my friends, is a NIGHTMARE. I never realised I had so much shit. I filled a giant rucksack and an even more giant suitcase with books alone. So now I have no cases left to put anything else in. Crysies.
Myself and Lainey spent most of last night throwing out half of our lives ("won't be needing socks where I'm going" *dump*) and then making several journeys down to the underground car park to dump everything in the bins. At one point, Lainey got locked down there because I was on the phone and totally forgot about her. Then, on the next occassion, a bag with all of the food from our kitchen split and cous cous and soy sauce and flour went everywhere. There were tears.
Eventually, I just started throwing tantrums and Lainey had to calm me down. Today is the actual physical move from one place to another, which should be... fun
*puts on happy face*.

Bestest luck to you and Ro in your new gaff.
And Dublin 1 has so many great places for nosh. Check out the Hop House if you get a chance.
No joking but black plastic bin liners are the working mules of any move, double/even treble bag them and you can throw all kinds of things into them and they will make your move so much quicker. If not necessarily tidier. All they have to last is the journey.
thanks Sinead. Yeah Hop House is yumsies, am a big fan of Alilang across the road too.
Cheers Dan - that's what I'm mostly using at the moment. Boxes are so 20th century!
D1, someones feeling rich. D7 is where its at.
fuck D7! D1 fo life!
*update* just signed the lease. No going back now.
Heyyy, here's to your first night in the new gaff: so exciting it's *almost* worth the spilt cous-cous and tears.
:)
gluck kitten.
Good luck in the new gaf. Does this mean you will be out more? Lord help your liver....
Haha welcome to my world. I was doing that at the weekend. Best thing to move books - those long life bags from supermarkets. They are the right shape and just the right heaviness. Well so I hear. My dodge back got me loads of lovely helpers...yay!
I tried to be good about giving away books but I couldn't do it. It's like giving away babies. It's a wrong.
Good luck with the new apartment! And sorrry, but Dublin 8 rocks the universe. I work in Dublin 1 though. Sineads's right nosh heaven.
im looking forward to brunch in your new gaff this weekend...
