Moving Madness!

This weekend Dave and I are moving out of the Tabard Centre into our new place in Peckham (yes, THE Peckham from Only Fools and Horses and THE Peckham which 10 years ago had one of the worst crime rates in Europe... SE1 was becoming just too comfortable for us edgy types).

Anyway - as anyone who has ever moved will know, I'm in for a weekend of pain. God knows how we are going to do it, with me 33+ weeks pregnant and the size of a small elephant, a mini-monster who sits in the specific box you are packing at any one time - 'unpacking' it for you or cramming bits of apple into the holes, and poor Dave being responsible for all of the lifting. And whilst he does have huge guns - considering the number of stairs involved nad sheer quantity of books and wine (at the very least) to move - he too is in for a weekend of pain.
Anyway - will post pics of the move and the new place as soon as we are settled in properly. I'm off the email/internet for the next week and pretty busy organising all things new baby (new purchases, change in hospital and doctors etc. etc.) so realistically it will probably be at least a week.

Am very sad to be leaving this amazing apartment, have lots of memories of here - with many friends and family. It was Fred's first home.... *sigh* HOWEVER am most excited about moving to a place with no stairs nad a backyard with room for a sandpit. ANd we are renting out this place for the next year, so if Fred gets better at climbing stairs and we decide to rennovate into the loft, there is a vague (very vague) chance we might even move back here.
Anyway... BACK to packing!!! Argh.

Below are the pics of the Tabard Centre for all you people who were too lazy to come visit us in the last 3 years XXXX
(and yes, it was always this neat!)
