I don't even move until Friday!
It's good that I did this now, actually. And also thank goodness for the (blue) plastic tubs I bought a little while ago. Turns out that there was something fishy with my radiator*, and my favourite box (an apple crate - really sturdy) got wet and is mouldy (You can see it in the first photo). It must be pretty recent too, as there was condensation on the metal cap of the bottom of my map tube as well, and I had last looked at it 3 weeks ago (well, I took out the map on Thursday, but I didn't inspect the bottom of the tube).
RIP, box. Thanks for your four years of service (I picked you up at the end of first year, IIRC). You've been a great bedside table and friend. You will be missed ='(
The box I had kept inside it was slightly damp in one corner but not mouldy. I need it still, so I lined the bottom of it with paper first. I can throw it out once I move all of, oh, 100 metres away.
* I heard that some pipes had burst over the winter because of open windows, but my room wasn't affected then (because I'm cautious and so I close and lock my windows in winter? duh?).
