We fell into the "its only round the corner wont need a van" trap.
BIL and sisIL are moving into a new build adapted for the disabled flat, she's in a wheelchair, needs oxygen at night, he's in remission from non Hodgekins lymphoma.
BUT its just along the road
So LAST Saturday we all pitched in, pals with trailers, us in the portakabin on wheels, a Clanger or two, and started the flitting.
Prob 1 was sisIL had been ill so NO packing had been done.
Prob 2 its a wee flat they're moving out of so we were tripping over each other
Prob 3 the settee had to come out the window. still got in Volvo tho'
But we got the bulky stuff moved
then sisIL whos (also diabetic ) started to go a bit out of it.
Blood glucose over 25 so reduce the stress we called it a day
( to walk into stress here as sons pal jumped)
Sunday Sis IL really bad so taken into Infirmary so all move on hold
Monday I go back to help move more, everyone back at work 'cept BIL whos waiting on carpets ,phone etc. his wife still in hospital
