Both Ihfaz and I arrived at Mr D’s house to get Mr.D for a house Move. We are joined by Mr.D, his carer, Fabricia and Mr.D’s helpful neighbour.

While Ihfaz made his way from Windsor, I went for a quick 2 miles run to reach Mr.D’s house. As soon as we reached Mr.D’s house, Fabricia opened the door and explained to us what needs packing. The team from House Removals are expected at noon, we were able to pack 8 large cartoons of music CD’s and records. Mr.D had a passion to these CD’s, he always added new ones to his Vault, never got rid of the old ones. So he is left with many CDs, which he wanted to put them to good use, perhaps donating to charity. He wanted to move them to a safe place until he find the rightful owner. There are total of 8 large boxes, shown in the picture. We couldn’t move the 8th box as it is heavy.

Mr.D wanted to store the Fridge in neighbours storage. Ihfaz and I safely moved the Fridge. We couldn’t move the cooker as it was connected to gas mains.

Guess what, question was asked if I’m going to a school 😊. It was Ihfaz who is pursuing his A levels. Friendly chat with Mr.D, his Carer and neighbour to conclude the activity. We were able to clear CDs and Records from two bed rooms and moved them to living room ready for Movers. At the end, nice picture with valuable cargo, Muscial CDs.

Mr.D is pleased to see his belongings are packed up and ready for move. He will still be the owner until he finds a rightful owner.
