Finally the first part of my moving adventures is over. After going to the Black Eyed Peas at the NEC (God bless Birmingham for its venues!) I stayed with my mates on campus and packed up some of my gathered clutter and put it in the Aston Storage facility. This has been the biggest bargain of 2010 for me.
The storage for the whole summer was 30 pounds for four massive boxes or whatever other items that one wants to bring. The moment I was sure of the price (word of mouth because I did not actually read the e-mail I received - oops) I hurried to the finance office and sweatily ordered myself a four box voucher. Then I went back to my mate's and we started eagerly packing. After about two days of postponing and one day of packing I was back at the storage room awaiting my trolley. The one I received was the standard massive cage that we managed to fill over the brim. Let me tell you pushing this trolley was like dragging a cart full of stones; every piece of uneven tiling was like a small Everest, every little rock was like the grand canyon. I just think that the creators of the trolley did not mean for it to carry every single belonging for two shopaholics.
Anyway in the we got to the storage room alright (pushing the trolley through main building's halls was one of the funniest experiences I have ever had). We signed up the boxes, tagged them and they were taken in. Now all I need to do is not lose my receipt (although I assume that even if I do they have my student number so nothing can go wrong).
