Just done my pile too- then looked at the washing basket and I have enough to do another wash. It can blooming well wait until tomorrow, as I'm going to pot up the plants I bought on Sunday now that the sun has decided to shine. Good luck with your shipping....can't wait to get mine, then I can have real pots and pans, really comfy sofas and proper beds! Don't care what else I packed, as long as these things get here intact..oh yes, and a printer and proper desk for the computer.

Bugger, that's no good! Our stuff arrives tomorrow - will have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't make marks in our rental, especially as this rental is brand new so any marks at all in here are down to us!

Hurray
they have agreed to pay for the carpet to be cleaned I just hope to goodness they get the marks out!
Our rental carpets are newish but a really light grey/blue colour so show every mark!
watch them like hawks emma 1 bloke noticed it and i wondered why he was smirking at me!
apart from that I'm still unpacking but 1 picture has the Glass sashed probably as they packed it as a single unit FFS if they had put it in a box cushioned by the clothes towels bedding etc it would probably havce been fine!!
I hope all yours is ok Emma it really is like Christmas

Well done for getting them to agree to it. Enjoy getting all your bits and pieces! I'm looking forward to having more then 2 plates (lol) and getting our bikes, but we're struggling to remember half of the stuff we've sent over! Guess it wasn't all essential then!

The pig of it is that some of it was so essential we couldn't wait for our shipping and bought it again!! so now we have the English and the Aussie version

Hopefully yours won't make any marks on the floor walls or anywhere else

Know how you feel with the 2 of everything... mine will go towards kitting out the granny flat so MIL or visitors won't have to come in to make a cup of tea in the middle of the night.
Glad they will cough up to have it cleaned.
