Added to this - I'm moving house on Saturday. I've filled 16 boxes with unread books, and 7 with A-Burgess in the 'read' books, so I'm really struggling. Must find more boxes, pack, pay massive amount of money to agent, hire a van, change address, buy bookcases (many thereof) and teach this week…

Let the onslaught begin
Morning comrades! And welcome to a horrendous week: teaching begins today, and I'm covering for two distinguished colleagues who are off to sunny Bucharest for a conference. The first week is always manic: people don't know where they should be, which course they're on, and why they're here at all. Introductory lectures are a mix of erudition, reassurance and, of course, chilled-out entertainment: not easy for someone with all the comic timing and organisation of a whelk on smack.

Add 'get insured' to that list. I have never driven a van and I suspect you will be in the seat next to me while I attempt to learn.
Go to Asda and get banana boxes. Fruit boxes are the perfect book carrier.
