Back to the Future

I’m moving. This could be a problem. Yes, moving house after 5 years of cramming stuff into every crevice and orafice the house has to offer makes moving tricky (we have a lot of stuff), but that’s not the problem, you can hire a big van. Not that I’ve hired a big van yet, but that’s not a problem because I can hire a van to take the contents of our Mary-Poppins’-bag-like-house repeatedly over the Severn Bridge. Not that it’s cheap or easy to cross the Severn Bridge, but that’s not too much of a problem. Not that we have much furniture to move, going from a furnished to unfurnished house means a lot of furniture shopping, but that’s not a problem yet. There are wiser things to do than to set a moving day 3 weeks into the future when you have 1 week in Jersey, 1 week in Suffolk, leaving 1 week to pack, but that in itself is not a problem. Neither is the impending, increasingly expensive trip to Iceland.

Injuring you back after packing four boxes, that’s a problem. Taking 20 minutes to get down the stairs, unable to fully straighten your back or bend over, that’s a problem. Having to find the most efficient way of cooking beans on toast because it really hurts (really really hurts) to breath/walk/turn/reach/lift at any moment. Having to wash stuff up because all the stupid plates and saucepans are in the stupid low-down-but-out-of-reach cupboards is a problem. Only having the next 4 days to pack everything and possibly not being able to anything remotely useful in that time is a problem!

Still, I’m practical. I did problem solving a lot in A-level Maths, that should help me. Bugger. Well, forgive me if I post a lot today – I can’t move from this seat. But I can be practical – you can browse/buy appliances and furniture online, you can hire vans online, you can try to tackle the problem of moving a business which is entirely internet-based whilst online. God bless the modern technological age!
