The TV went to the same home as the sofas, so someone is sitting on our sofas watching our TV - in their home. Slightly strange. :P

Unfortunately, we only got £10.50 for it.

26th October 2009 - We have moved aboard!

I know we'd made the decision to do this already, but actually going through the motions of locking up our house and leaving, knowing it was going to be for at least a couple of years until we saw all our "stuff" again, was quite hard. I kept getting butterflies - not the deep 'stress' mot...

18th October 2009 - Everything has almost gone

Sofa and surfboard auctions went fantastically well. We got the best part of £400 for our ~5 year old sofas which is brilliant! Very sorry to see them go though as we were quite attached to them. We'd had to finance them when we bought them as money was very tight. Unfortunately it's not looking so ...

12th October 2009 - Safe haven for winter 2010 is found.

Couple of phone calls, and we've now found a place to stay during autumn/winter 2010, from just before, to the period of time after the wedding. We had initially thought we'd have to keep the boat in Hartlepool Marina while we sorted out the wedding and spent time with our friends and family in the ...

11th October 2009 - My TV is for sale.

Although I hate it, I do find myself watching a lot of TV when it's available - so it is with some trepidation that I have put it up for sale on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140351695319 Eeek. When I'm on the boat I really don't miss it a bit. We do watch a lot of D...

10th October 2009 - How to keep posted of new blog entries.

I'd put a note at the bottom of my first couple of blog posts which explains how to subscribe to an email notification of new posts. Unfortunately this forum is set up not to display signatures to non-logged in users... which at the moment is most people who view. So posting this entry. If you'd lik...

9th October 2009 - Everthing Must Go

Turns out our plan to let out our house 'furnished' isn't going to work because although our sofas are within the fire regulations, apparently unless the fire regulation label is still attached, or we have the original documentation, we can't include it in the package. So, along with a lot of other ...
