A Kinky Move...... (part 1)

 

 I'm wondering how many of you have heard of 'mummification'?? 

Back in the day I was mummified a few times.  There are all sorts of materials that can be used - duct tape being one - and shrink wrap being another.

The shrink wrap comes in rolls (cause you tend to need a lot) ...........

it's pretty simple to use - you start at the top of your intended subject and wrap it round and round the body - moving down as you go...... until you have them wrapped tight.

 

So what does this have to do with your move morningstar??  You ask..........

Sir Steve was wondering out loud one evening in January how we were gonna pack all the lil one's buckets of toys - and the bins in the cabinet in the living room... and and and - so many awkward bits to pack.  I had come across his roll of shrink wrap when I was sorting out our cupboard.......... I said 'I thought we could just shrink wrap them all'
(shrug) seemed simple to me.  

That last week before our move we shrink wrapped everything that was too awkward to pack in a box........ we even wrapped the container that holds all our cutlery.... and the small chest of drawers (not emptied) in our bedroom.  Everything looked very neat and tidy and mummified.

On Saturday youngest daughter was walking around the mess and she came across the lil one's mummified toy bins....... and then the mummified  cutlery and the mummified bins from the living room.   She was quite taken with the idea....... and asked how we came up with the idea of saran wrapping everything AND where did we ever find a roll big enough????  I'm not sure who answered if anyone - I nearly choked when I heard her question and made a quick exit to another room........ 

All I kept thinking was - what would she think if she knew that 'saran wrap' had been used to mummify her mother......... and I smiled from ear to ear......
