Thanks to everyone who was so nice to me when I pathetically begged for it. It does actually make a difference, in spite of my mother's belief that fished for compliment don't count. She's a miserable sod, anyway, and has no place living in my head.
Anyway I feel a lot better. I slept twelve hours after that post and have since got quite a lot done. It's stunning, though, how much intensive work it is getting rid of furniture etc in a sensible way. If I was wicked and lazy I could get Edinburgh Council to take the lot to the dump, but having a slew of emails about every bloody thing and then people failing to turn up etc, is probably more responsible, if tiresome. This is not meant of a criticism of anyone who actually has taken away stuff, by the way, it's not your fault it's just that these things take organising... And Edinburgh Furniture Initiative are almost impossible to get hold of, so I think the tumble drier will end up getting dumped anyway.
And if anyone out there uses Ivar shelving from Ikea, we will probably have some spare bits and bobs, but not enough to make a whole unit. (Polite) suggestions on how to get rid of it would be welcome. It's their most popular and flexible sort of shelving, and the extra parts to make it a whole unit would be very cheap, so it seems a shame to waste it...

You still rock, anyway.

Hope the moving isn't too stressful!
