I decided to renew my lease at my current flat despite the loss of our completely awesome upstairs extra bathroom, extra bedroom, music room, and enormous lounge area, loss of one parking space, and slightly increased rent. The whole theory was that the first floor we have with 3 bedrooms, a gorgeous bathroom and kitchen, and sizable living and dining rooms was enough, and that moving is the most annoying task on the face of the planet. I figured that the benefits of not having to box and move my stuff well outweighed the loss of the extra rooms I hardly use. Unfortunately, I’ve already spent more time moving my roommates and friends than it would have taken me to move all of my stuff. Currently I’m delaying my Sunday evening dinner to go help a friend pack his place up and there’s nothing to do at my house but sit in my room because furniture has been replaced with boxes in the rest of the house. Totally fail.
