We have decided we will continue to sort out the boxes in our storage unit (still in Hampshire) whilst we have the time and space over the winter, but need to sort out some time off in the spring to do a car boot sale, as it is embarrassing how many duplicates of some items we have. Don't even get me started on my crafting stash! We do enjoy the bungalow, but we both think we will miss our motorhome travelling this winter, however it was a good move to get things sorted out and save a bit of money, and this job gives us the 8 month working contract we needed for 2020. I have just invested in some plastic storage boxes for under our bed as there is no storage here either.

The Lakeland ones are SO much better, apart from being better quality they have the straps to hold the shrunken bags down just in case any air gets in.

I bet you'll really miss your lovely van for the 3 months you have to be out of it - I know I would. Are you allowed to go and check up on things during the closed season? I think I'd love to go for the odd day, just to sit in it and have a coffee or 2 for a couple of hours - a wee break.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
