Premature Packing

After the last time Karl and I moved, I vowed not to leave the packing until the day before again. True to my word, I started packing things up at the weekend and did a little more today as I was off work with a funny tum. So far, I have packed about 4-5 boxes of:

  • books
  • DVDs/CDs
  • DS and Wii games

Of course, sod’s law… now that the games are all taped up and stacked read to go next month, my new Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City guide book has arrived.

The Animal Crossing: Wild World guide books became a rarity quite quickly. I had to have Sarah ship mine over from the States! I am hoping the same will apply, and I will be able to sell it brand-new for 3-4 times the price. Not sneaky in the slightest. :p Good job I only bought it for its re-sale value and not for playing though, eh?

    Lol, it would have been so much more interesting if you were pining away wishing you hadn’t packed the game away yet.

    Now this reminds me I need to start packing ‘cos I will be moving out from my dorm end of next month. I will probably use up a few big boxes and luggage for my clothes. I absolutely hate packing, especially when I have these fragile and small items which I do not know where to place them so that they will be safe during the moving process.

    wrap them in newspaper and surround them with balled up paper before putting them in the boxes..:) I’ll be doing that with Jems Gallileo thermometer.

    Animal Crossing seemed a bit dull to me, but I only looked over it quickly, is it worth getting? I only bought a Wii recently and am still looking for fun games to play.

    Good thing you don’t leave your packing to the last minute, it will safe you a lot of stress!

    I don’t envy you the packing – been there far too many times for comfort. You know where we are if you need anything :)

    Is it wrong of me to giggle like a 12 year old at the post title? D: Anyway, I laugh at you! Why? Because I want a Wii so bad and now you cannot enjoy yours, mwuahaha! ;) Aww, I’m just kidding! That stinks. :(

    I just recently moved as well and I remember most of my boxes were stuffed with those same things. — you know, the essentials. :) I remember the boxes with all the books were extremely heavy. :|

    I just got a Wii, know of any really good games I should try? I’m playing Mario Galaxy atm, loving it.
