Blimy its all happening! :scared:

We did a boot fair yesterday and sold lots of junk. (Interesting people there! )

The removals (PSS) are coming on Wednesday.

We move out of our house on Friday 20th October and live in a travelodge for a week as we have to finish work on the 31st October.

We do a tour of the UK seeing relatives from the 1st November

Fly out to sunny Brisbane on the 8th November.


Panic stations!

Don't mean to worry you Pablo but today is 20th October, so I assume you mean Friday 24th?

Best of luck to you and enjoy your travels.
Keep posting when you can.

Best of luck with your journey.
As of yesterday we are now all sleeping on the floor as our beds have been sold. Only my dining suite to get rid of as we have already done several car boots. Hoping to finally exchange contracts sometime this week as I have told our solicitor that I have to be in Oz by the end of the month . Don't feel confident enough in my buyer to leave before completion. Show me the money!!!!!!!!:scared:
Mum is cooking Christmas dinner for us this Sunday just in case we really do have a barbie on the beach

Hi pabloako,
you could always head down the car boot and buy some stuff to feel at home before you move into the Travel Lodge.

So what are you sleeping on then?

Bye

We have a bed until Wednesday and then after that it will be a blow up bed.

It was an interesting boot fair, it was like the local asylum centre was on a day visit. They would come up to you and ask how much for something, you would £1 and they would offer you 5p. You don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for them!

5p is better than a kick in the balls though

We did our final boot sale yesterday too-.I now have 5 boxes and 3 black bags with the remains in the back of my car for the charity shop tomorrow.
I feel a sad sense of achievement knowing I have survived my final boot sale! Hardly made any money though, but at least a lot of the junk has gone.

Wait till you get to the charity shop and they turn their nose up at some of your stuff because it's not from harvey nicks or something,or brand new with the receipts etc.As for the car boots
yes some do knock you down from a pound to 5pence I asked one bloke if he would like a twelve month garruntee with a food blender thingy he almost said yes until he realised I was taking the piss
