Yet again something wrong with the flat. This time it turns out the people who did the work on the flat before we bought it duped the council into certifying the work as being up to spec when it wasn't (in short it was supposed to be certified as material change of use, but was certified as a refurb). So, there's no soundproofing, and we really really need some.
On Tuesday we're having the lot who did our kitchen come in again and put in soundproofing in all the rooms on the floor between us and the downstairs neighbour. Which means we have to get all the furniture up and off the floor. They're doing one room at a time at least, so we just have to move a lot of things around from one room to the next.
I've spent my entire day boxing up things up and packing things so at least the furniture can be moved without me being there (I'll be in Germany for work - I planned this a while ago when we thought the work would be done in the 1st week of May). The downside is the seven-and-a-half month pregnant wifemonster has to move the furniture between the rooms while I'm out of the country. Sorry.
I was really hoping when we moved here I'd not have to pack it all up again for a while. Wrong. At least I feel better about all the stuff I never unpacked.
BTW: I have a job. More on that later.
