T-110h:

Today just some random thoughts. I guess most of the people that have been moving from place to place already know this:
1- You always have more stuff than you think at home;
2- Most of that stuff is useless;
3- Sorting out what is useful takes a looonng time;
So basically these have been some boring days just sorting, packing and throwing away stuff.

As you can see by the picture the house looks like a gipsy market LOL. We are still figuring out how to fit the stuff that we want in the car (...we are not taking all of what is shown in the photos of course :P, most stuff is going to be given away)

Stuff...

And more stuff... LOL

One box with 20Kg stuff as already been sent to Portugal today by regular mail. And yes, we finally figured out that regular mail is probably one of the cheapest option to send packages from Sweden to Portugal (unless you have some good contacts with truck drivers... problem is... there are not so many trucks doing deliveries directly from Sweden to Portugal).

Lets hope this box arrives safely to destination... :P

So, in the end, a 20Kg box by regular mail costed us 895SEK (which is around 98.5 euros). If you pack such a box like this, is good to have bubble wrap and try to pack stuff so that it does not move at all inside the box. It is well known how post offices treat packages... It will be interesting to see in which condition the box will arrive LOL.

In the next days we wil be starting to clean the apartment... another "exhilarating" job (sarcasm!!!!).

In conclusion, this is the well known "not so fun" part of moving to another place... however the reward is soon coming :)

So, todays song... a bit of a good old frenetic music to help on cleaning and packing shores :)
