[albaqwerty]

Ashtrays.

[wolf63]

toiletries, clothes, undies and ASBO

[Barmaid]

Ashtray is now on the list, thanks, Alba.

Shoota - March 14th has been temporarily postponed. I have in fact warned Mr BM that it is now called "Get it yourself and do what you like and dont dare ask BM since a lump hammer embedded in your skull may offend" day.

Wolf, ASBO is going to the Kitty Spa so that he is safe and more importantly out of the way.

Corkscrew? Champagne doesnt need one ;)

A bucket and washing up liquid and bowl ( may already be included in cleaning things) Good luck :-)

[Barmaid]

Ah good point Margo - bucket and bowl wasnt on the list "cleaning stuff" meant the chemical warfare stuff!

Don't forget the lump hammer then...

"I am living in box and packing tape hell"
same here barmaid boxes everywhere we're moving too..if only the solicitors would get a move on they are so slow!

[Buenchico]

Phone numbers of some takeaway establishments in the area and/or directions to the nearest pubs. Plates and cutlery if you'll be going for the takeaway option. (You've got to eat, haven't you?)

Biscuits!

[albaqwerty]

salt, vinegar and sauces.

[Barmaid]

We're not eating there - there is a very nice pub precisely one mile away (already checked out and approved lol). We are just cleaning and getting it ready for the big move on Monday.

Torch!! Of course. I keep meaning to order a new one! I'll do that now.....

Tools are now on the list.

Hoover, brush and dustpan are now too.

Great suggestions folks!
