Van hire time!

So, time to shift all my furniture that's been waiting for a home from the parents' house in Inverness over to Skye...

I had accumulated so much furniture over the years that when it came to kitting out my new home, I didn't actually have to buy very much. Infact, I even had to sell off some furniture as I had too much...

Anyway... I got on the train to Inverness after work on the Friday and spent Friday evening in my bedroom being a lot more brutal than I had ever been in previous clear outs and had my had at one end with a box for recycling and my mum at the other end with a black bag. My dad made at least five trips down stairs to the blue bin... And we managed to fill two black bags. There was also a big pile of stuff set aside for the car boot sale at the end of the month. So all in all I got rid of a lot of stuff!

Saturday morning, time to pick up the van and load! Fortunately it was just the right size for my mattress...

We had to leave 3 of the four dining chairs behind as there just wasn't enough room...

Time for a tea break, and in my case breakfast, and off we go! I did most of the driving, and informed my dad that we would NOT be stopping for a coffee as it was less than two hours away and we had to unload the van and pick up the sofa from another house at 2:30... I would have driven all the way, but my car was in Kyle, mainland side of the Skye bridge, and had to pick it up on the way back. We don't have trains on Skye...

We got everything shifted and I now get to sleep in a real bed in my proper bedroom, even though I haven't decorated it yet... I opened the curtains after my first nights sleep in MY ROOM and dried my hair to this view. Not too shabby at all!...
