We're being evicted by our heartless landlord on the 10th and have found a new place from the 17th...so I need to sort storage for the wife, the cat and all of our worldly goods for a week.

The wife and I are probably going into the Fraser Suites on SZR - it's cheaper for a week there than in our villa!

The cat might be allowed with us, else he's off to play with the rough kids in the cattery.

The problem I have is storage - does anyone know of anywhere safe and cheap to store a medium size house of stuff for a week? I've tapped up a mate about his double garage but he likes to keep his cars clean so he'll likely say no!

Any company names/numbers much appreciated. There are a couple in Al Quoz but I've heard horror stories of people going to pick their stuff up and finding out that all of the items on the list are there...but they don't match the ones that went in! Our stuff is so shagged that we might do well in the swap but I doubt the missus would be too chuffed!

Mate, if it's just boxes and stuff, I have a few rooms spare. You're more than welcome to use them.

Thanks Chilli but its the whole house. I've plumped for a proper remove-store-deliver service as it has convinced my wife that she'll be ok to handle it...allowing me to go to an old mate's wedding back in the UK that I did not think I would make it to.

Happy days!

(p.s. hark at you with your 'I've got a few rooms spare' mansion!!!
