Default Ma Hoose Is Bare

Removals came yesterday (Allied Pickford) and noo ma hoose is bare. Me and OH were sleeping on a blow-up bed. Were assured it was great. Bollocks, it was horrendous. Kids sleeping on a mattress on bedroom floor so me and OH will nick it and tell them they're sleeping on a big bouncy castle Nasty or what. This is us till next Friday till new owner takes over. I'll be a bloody cripple walking through Brisbane airport I'm typing this on the floor as my PC cabinet is away as well. My knees are shot to F**K. Aus better be worth it.

Made me laugh reading your post hopefully that will be us soon minus the bouncy castle, after nearly 8 months of running around and the long wait OZ had better be worth it sending Karma your way.

Ha ha. PC's going tomorrow as well but, thanks to Hutch, I'm away to buy myself a wee laptop. I deserve it after all this stress Upgrade on the blow-up bed. Kids took it and loved it while I was on single mattress in room. OH in living room with double mattress and daughter. It was bliss and I finished work today. YEEHAH

Good luck with the move. Have you had your leaving party yet? Go with the flow now as you will soon be in Aus chilling out and settling into Ozzy life.

Sandra, hows tricks? Party on the 25th Aug. Bowling club for all the alkies cause of the cheap booze. Being TT, I'll need to stand and watch them making a tit of themselves. I CANT WAIT. Slightly bad news with house. Buyer is asking if we can put moving in date back for a week. Not a major prob but why.? Flying on 1st Sept with Qantas. Its official and paid for so I'm skint. Couldn't even pay for laptop this morning and it was only 250 reduced from 600. I'll need to talk nice to bank. Is everything done with house? Great isnt it (not) Knees still shot to f**k but at least we're sleeping better

We are fine! House sold just missives to sign, as they are first time buyers hopefully no hold ups! Crapping myself, I always try to have every eventuality worked out so I'm p***ing Jim off, nothing new there then. Still to confirm Crown and flights but looking at 18th September to fly our via Hong Kong 4 of us for £1980 (not bad), entry date for house 31st August.

Have a great party, not sure if we are having one, family still not asked about house etc, if they ignore it it won't happen I suppose - NOT!!!!!! Will have a party for the girls for their friends we might just have a small BBQ if weather clears up haven't decided yet.

Good luck.
