When I was a kid, you used to be able to get boxes from the supernarket for free. Now, every bit of space in supermarkets is filled with stuff to buy so the practice seems to have died out, which makes moving house far harder.
Luckily, www.boxes-for-moving.co.uk come to the rescue, selling, well, boxes for moving. And bubble wrap, which is cool, cos I love popping the bubbles on it (although I know you're not supposed to but come on, who doesn't like bursting bubble-wrap?)
Anyway, though the URL could come in handy for moving to Dublin so figured I may as well blog it here.
Although I'm still considering having a 'bring a box' party like I did when I left university; people bring a box and in exchange get to take away any CDs/books/clothes/random household stuff I'm getting rid of (but they have to leave me the box). I like having clear-outs when I move. It's good for the soul.
