Well - it's finally starting to feel real. Now the house is partly packed and sorted it looks like something is happening - seemed a bit surreal before.
MIL (house-proud, super cleaner) came round to help clean and looked into the cooker and said 'I think you need professional cleaners in'.... We're not that scummy really.... and it hasn't poisoned us yet..

I delivered our lovely cat to my brother, who is transporting him to his MIL in Chester - he'll be truely spoilt.

So, packers tomorrow and Mon, Tues AM - container arrives Tues noon.
We fly Weds evening - to Langkawi and then out of KL a month later, arriving in Melbourne on 17 Feb!!

Can't wait and getting really excited now - just not looking forward to saying goodbye to Mum.

That's great news about your cat. I'd love to rehome ours are they're not as young as they used to be but I'm not sure I could trust anyone else to love them as much as I do!

Good luck with the trip.

Total chaos eh??
Hope it goes well, glad you found a great home for puss

The Crow

Thanks! We were lucky with our cat in the end. We had quite a few offers but none we felt happy with and then luckily brother's MIL steps in and she loves cats and has a great environment for him. He's 12 years old, so we felt the trip might have been too much for him - I'm sure he'll also appreciate the lack of toddlers pulling his tail too!!
Good luck in whatever you decided to do with your cats

The Crow

Thank you! My last trip to Kingswood shops this morning - oh, how I won't miss that place

The Crow

Adam's going to be running up and down our Close tomorrow asking for takers!! If not, perhaps we should have a ritual burning ceremony - any excuse for a bottle of champers!! Or Cava in our case

Bordy

Good luck with your new life. No doubt I'll see you on this side at a meet up one day.
