Oh! it's going to be hard isn't it?
Anyone coming to see you off at the airport, or is that too hard to bear?
When will you arrive 'down below?'

OMG!! Shippers in the morning how exciting!!! are you ready for them or are you busy with your papier mache?

a friend of ours is taking us to the airport no family, no dont think I or they could bear that.

we fly next tues 27th arrive in Sydney on 9th March

gawd I cant wait for em to come and go, just keep finding stuff and now cant be arsed and chucking stuff away.

hey everyone loved my papier mache spider

God I bet you can't sleep for excitement how are you gonna cope without any of your stuff, until you fly?

we are ok a lot of stuff is staying in the house so we will be right till we fly

or 'she'll be right'

you'll have to keep us posted how you're getting on, if you have access to the internet

Ive got the kettle on does any one fancy a brew?

I keep throwing stuff away, can't be arsed either - I did consider a car boot but just can't face it. Gave loads of toys, clothes and cuddly teddies to the women's refuge. Charitied some stuff and bunged loads!

Still don't seem to be getting anywhere fast though

Ive just finished sorting out the kids wardrobes and drawers, i now have a bag of tat and a bag for charity. the toys will be attacked next
Mandy

same here K, we've sent loads to the charity shops, initially thought we might do car boots, then thought of the EARLY start and all the haggling, and couldn't be bothered.

Nightmare isn't it - the monkey has an incredible amount of toys. He's an 'only grandson', so Dale's side of the family spend a fortune on him. He's got things from Christmas that haven't even been taken out of packs! Not helped by the fact it's his birthday in January so he gets a load then too. I've got rid of loads but there's still his playhouse (I say playhouse it's massive, Dale built it) in the garden that I just dread going into!

It'd be the haggling over 10p that'd do me - I'd never be able to hold my patience over that!

Its the boys birthday soon so ive told my parents either small gifts or money into the accounts this year.
My eldest has craftly off loaded a lot of his toys into the younger ones room.
We have loads in the shed and the attic. Where do you begin
If hubby had his way the whole lot would go LOL

Got to do the school run now Mandy, but keep it hot and I'll have it when I get back cheers
