Good news is that the house is now very empty, we are sleeping on the floor on an airbed which is sort of comfy. But we have no sofa, so sitting in an empty lounge on a couple of picnic chairs and eating our dinner off plastic plates. The Jones/Monks Removals service did us proud on saturday and we removed 100% of our furniture and 90% of our stuff in 2 van loads.
The Oxford leaving party was absolutely brilliant! 25 of us went out for dinner at Zizzi's and then 19 of us went on drinking for the rest of the night. We ended up in Ocean&Collins (the old chicago rock) and I was there for probably no more than half an hour before I slipped on a step and ended up on my behind. Luckily these days I have a bit of padding around my behind so I've escaped with a bruised bottom and twisted ankle. Still quite painful, but no permenant damage done.
We have the Gloucester leaving do this weekend, so I'm going to sit down and not move all night. I think I need to be wrapped in bubble wrap until I check in at Heathrow on Wednesday.
Well we move out on friday and are going back to our respective parents for the last 4 days. Our backpacks are sitting, looking at us and waiting for us to pack our stuff, which is lying on the floor around them. Better get on as our spare room still isn't quite yellow.

Hey!
All sounds very fun. At least you've not much to do with just a little painting. We had to tile our whole bloody bathroom and we're grouting until 2hrs before we left thanks to the plumber running over! Enjoy your last few days with your families, I was surprised by how much I'm missing mine. I don't see them very often but as soon as their 600miles away and not easily at the end of a phone it hits you! See you on the road soon!
