How to clear away all the boxes that I still haven't unpacked by brooster

"Waiting this long was pathetic"

How I did it: Simple.  Move in.  Wait six months.  Then...BAM!  Pack away the rest of my crap.

I don’t want to overstate my achievement but word on the street says that I’m going to be nominated for the Oscar for best-putting-away-of-stuff-after-living-somewhere-for-six-months.  I’m not saying I’ll definitely win or anything, it would just be nice to get nominated.  Just being recognised by my peers for the work I’ve done would mean a lot, y’know.

Lessons & tips: The first six months of mental preparation were crucial.  Leave out this step at your peril.

Moose I'm sure I will be happy if I apply myself

OMG

you totally got the Oscar-for-making-me-pee-on-the-bus (if you’ve never seen a Moose peeing on a bus then, well…)

I’ve said this before and I’ll no doubt say it again but you crack me up!!!

Thank you thank you

And can I say what an excellent comment that was. I’m glad they’re bringing back the Moose-pee Oscar too, it’s about bloody time!

I was just about to say something about one of your goals here, but I think I’m going to dash over to your page and do it properly. See you there :-)

Glad I wasn't on the bus

Ah

I am naturally concerned that the tale of my delayed-tidying prowess may have contributed to any bus-related discomfort. Awkward bus journeys were not what I was aiming for.

But I have learned from this and now I am aware of the dangers, I will be a little more careful how I report my next bout of clearing up. ;-)
