Re-cap!


Quick recap of what’s happening with me (for those who care) :

I’ve been putting a lot of our furniture on different local classified ads websites. Those things work! Managed to sell almost everything I posted.

***
A few weeks ago I sold our dinning room set, since then we’ve been eating on my craft table and sitting on our deck chairs.
***
We had our garage/moving sale on Saturday. Went well. Everything was priced to go and almost everything went.
***
In the hopes of selling it, I took our every day dish set out during the garage sale. I sold it! Hubby had to dig out our lexan plates from our camping gear for us to eat in, instead of paper plates.

***
At the end of the day, a neighbour asked about our deck furniture. We also sold that!
Sunday morning a friend came by with 2 folding chairs… we didn’t have any more chairs to sit on (besides the couch).
***
Something strange: Our dishwasher’s upper tray (for the glasses) as well as the utensil basket is full, and yet the bottom tray is empty – weird! Oh yeah, we have no more dishes to put in there!
***
The moving company we contracted won’t have much furniture to move, since I manage to sell: CD racks, TV unit, dinning set, guest bedroom set and mattress, all our appliances (except for our freezer) and our bedroom set with mattress and box spring. Can you say it’s starting to look empty here?
***
The back of my neck is peeling, as well as my arms and the tip of my nose! I hate to see those bits of skin in my sight... argh.
***

That's it for now - catch up more later.

Crikey, you are on a selling roll!! I have visions of you sat on floorboards, eating out of saucepans, with the TV perched on a beanbag.

pigeon: You have no idea! Your visions are not that far off actually! To watch TV we are sitting on our couch (which I haven't even tried to sell), infront of this white dresser with 6 drawers, really ugly, that used to be in the basement that we now use as a tv stand... but for eating, out of plastic plates, we sit on these folding chairs at a little white table... and in 2 weeks we will be sleeping on the floor!!!

Our new furniture will only be delivered in July... so we have a few days of "indoor camping" ahead of us!

The 1950's set my sis bought from you guys is totally fabulous!

Geez, you got mad skills at selling. My next fundraiser I am coming for you to help.

Kim said...

It sounds like you're living like many college students I knew back in the day...only they were doing it to have more money for the bars and not to move ;)

...oh, and the top of my dishwasher generally fills up before the bottom, but I blame that on the cups and bowls the kids generate!

jason67: Figured you would like it!

christina: I think those skills are from my dad, he would sell anything and anytime. Drove my mom crazy!

kim: I know! When we ordered pizza we thought of making plates out of the lid - how sad is that! If only it was to get more money, it's really to get rid of our stuff...

You give new meaning to the term...cleaning house!

shoparound: LOL - Maybe it's only because I'm real lazy and hate to pack?! If I sell everything I won't have to pack it! hee.
