Well me and the three little 'uns are just off up to see my parents, nothing further has been said about us staying there (or not).

I'm planning to guilt them into it... have had the kids draw her some lovely pictures with words such as "Grandma we love you so very much and we will miss you when we move" etc etc. He he he!

There's fat chance really, they are happy in their retirement and like the quiet life. My three kids make more noise than a jumbo jet parked in your living room, so I do understand, but on the flip side, its going to be a really long time before we see them after we move.  It makes me a ittle sad TBH.

Having some good response on ebay stuff, also cleared out some of the kids drawers last night into, throw away, give away, and keep piles (bags).  Just a bit every day and we will get there.  I should make a list of everything I've got to do, but I just think its too daunting at the mo'. Lets make sure house n visa sitch are sorted first eh!?
