Unpacking.. STILL!!

Last November we moved home. It was hard work moving and getting organized in fact we still haven't quite finished. Along each wall of my bedroom is stacks of boxes still containing books, Dvds/Cds, arts and crafts, ornaments, towels, even a big box of miscellanious things. I am so fed up of looking at the ugly cardboard boxes and have began my mission to clear them out!

I am planning a trip to ikea to get an underbed storage box for the towels and a storage unit for the arts and crafts, but in the meantime I have began unloading the dvd box. I have slipped all my dvds and cds into those dvd folders and binned their original casing, such a space saver! One box emptied.

Next I emptied the contents of the miscelanious box onto my bed. My first reaction was 'Great now I have nowhere to sleep tonight' antincipating it to be an impossible task to find a place for everything. some of the contents in this box were holey socks (bin), underwear, donalds watch (hey I've been looking for that!), a hammer, alan keys, and that tiny black screwdriver I spent ages looking for at one point!, there were many other items amongst the miscelanious but I don't want to spend all night listing every item as I haven't quite finished clearing the items from my bed and would like to sleep at some point tonight. I am a good bit closer to finding a place for each of the items in that miscelanious box and soon that will be 2 boxes emptied.

I'm not stupid though, I don't expect to empty every single box, for instance where would I put my hundreds of piggin ornaments? or the books that never get read but get kept 'just incase'? I will be happy though if I can empty enough boxes that the remaining ugly brown boxes fit neatly under my bed out of sight.

So, on with the mission! hopefully I will be finished by the time we've been in our 'new' home for a full year!
