So I finally made it to Edinburgh! I moved the last week in August and am finally settled. Of course I have been working during the week so haven't had much time. But to move I took a 4 days weekend and we got everything we needed to get done in 2.5 days. Thankfully we had some help packing the van back in Kingswinford and unpacking was easier.
We spent the Friday night on the sofa cushions (the sofa was much further back in the van) watching tv(which was on the top), and sleeping on air beds.
Thankfully the Saturday onwards was more comfortable.
I got some amazing house warming gifts from Caroline (I have eaten most of them. Oops!) and a lovely bunch of flowers delivered from a friend in London. My new apartment has an amazing south facing bay window so gets the sun most of the day.
And this time I have a 2 bedroom place so the spare room is set up as an office (and can be easily converted to a guest bedroom). Well it will be soon. Still a work in progress. (The other side of the room is currently the dumping ground for everything I don't know what to do with yet.) But I am super excited about this after lockdown in a tiny one bedroom flat in London.
Caroline can round on the Saturday to help but we mostly ended up taking a break and having a giant lunch. But I got mom to try Turkish food so worth it. It has been my mission to get both parents trying new things whenever I can and it turns out both parents love it!
Sunday was a trip to Ikea (why do you always come out with a load of things you didn't know about going it but suddenly can't live without?) and a huge supermarket shop. Followed by putting up the furniture (I love doing flat-pack furniture). I love my new place a lot more than London so, so far, this moving is working out just right. :)
