Well,we're in the thick of it now and I wish I could run away!

Seriously, the guys are doing a great job.

I'm stressing about what we can take on the plane given that we need to keep the weight down and the size of the hand luggage bags, which has made things tricky.
We are busy weighing suitcases and seeing what we can offload into the container. Have to hope we don't go over their quote either though!

I need a drink but it's only 1:00pm!!!!!

I will be so glad when all this is over.

Hi
thought we were being really efficent we decided to get the packers in a couple of days before the house completed and packed all th eimportant things ,documents in a file etc in the boot of my car that done rolled my sixteen out of bed complete with quilt as he was still sleeping soundly then everything including two kids and the dog headed over to a neighbours house for the day.When i got back after the packers had cleared the house to take the car of the drive found out id left the car keys in the bureau that was winging its way to the warehouse .Luckily they were kind enough to retrieve them for me the next day
Best of l uck with the flight on Sunday and for your new life

So far, it appears the only things that were packed that shouldn't have been were hubby's ties, so no disaster there.

Car keys are definatly a disaster!

Thanks for the good wishes. I am starting to get excited again now.
