I worked out that after the next edition of the weekly paper comes out, I will be away for 5 days, so I rang my friend and offered him the units on condition he helps me get the stuff he doesn't want to the tip! I've about a 10 or 12 day slot for him to come and remove them.

Spent this afternoon moving more of the kitchen into the dining room, and trying to hoover the muck out of the mainly filthy beige carpet. When all the hassle is over, I'll shampoo the whole lot, and see how it turns out. You can hardly move at the moment, let alone manoeuvre a big machine!
