Day 5 and Counting

I missed blogging Day 6 - nothing much exciting happened - but did buckle down and scanned a pile of documents, then shredded them. Should have been done ages ago anyway.

Today, Day 5 - Because we have to put our mattress and box spring curbside early on Thursday morning for pick-up by Tidy Trailers, we hauled them downstairs from our bedroom and now our living room is our new bedroom. In the photo below, you can see how we strategically placed it to face the TV. Today's Canucks/Sharks hockey game is on the telly - and we won! I see Genny has shredded one side of the box spring's cover.

I feared bringing the box spring down the stairs would be an awful job, because there is a sharp turn to the right halfway down, but Lance had a plan and it worked. Come Thursday morning, it will be an easy job to haul them outside.

Freezer and fridge are almost empty. Bought a couple of frozen microwave meals, a can of soup, some buns....and you can't go wrong if there is a bottle of wine in the fridge.

Tidy Trailers

Tidy Trailers - they are the best! I checked out on line all sorts of ways to dispose of junk that could not be sold, donated or given to a relative.

For us, Tidy Trailers offered the best option. They deliver a trailer, leave it on your premises for 48 hours so it can be loaded with stuff. Then they come and pick it up. Their prices are very reasonable. They phone to say when they will arrive, provide instructions on how to load the trailer properly and come back and take everything away ... and you don't even have to be home for that part. We didn't need a big bin. I was able to stuff the trailer full of all kinds of things - I didn't realize we had that much crap.
