Kicking the crack habit

I thought I had kicked the Crack Habit. Those who were in Oldenberg last september might remember my joy at finding Vegan Gummy Bears. Well, like an, erm.. kid in a candy shop, I bought 2kg of them (For my American friends, that's about 2/3rds the weight of a newborn child - reflective of the care with which I brought them home). My wife and I polished off the first 1kg bag of them in about 4 weeks, and set them aside to be celebrated on some special occasion - maybe the last visit to the dentist or something. Well, apparently moving and only otherwise having crackers in our house was enough of a reason to to bring them out. They're going quite slowly... Which is probably for the best...

Washer and Dryer showed up today. The front loader is remarkably quiet. The warning in the book says to not put more than 5kg of clothing in. I'm wondering if I need to weight my clothes for a little while until I get a feeling for it. This completes the appliance purchases for now, though. Next step: painting time.
