Default The packers are here!

It feels really strange I have 2 men going round the house putting all my worldly goods into boxes, while I sit here drinking tea and eating biscuits.

Have spent the last few weeks getting everything ready for them but still feel like I should be doing something. Have always moved ourselves before so its a real luxury having everything done.

The men are really friendly and nice,I have bought loads of yummy biscuits for them to have with their tea to keep them happy.

Fingers crossed it all keeps going well but I'm sure there will be a few hicups on the way.

Oh and if my OH reads this I will be doing some work soon cleaning the house!!!

Enjoy ...it's not very often you'll have 2 men in the house doing the 'housework' while you sit with your feet up

Good luck

I know exactly how you feel, whilst looking back now it was great doing nothing but at the time I felt so guilty just sitting around.
Daft really that's what you pay them all that money for lol

Men are still working hard unlike me, enjoying a child free house. Think I will put off starting the cleaning until later on in the week, new owners not due to move in for a couple of weeks yet so have plenty of time.
