Weird day - spent watching removal men clothe all my wordly goods in brown paper and tape.

Spent a good 10 mins bawling my eyes out when my oldest friend came round for moral support.

And tomorrow it gets loaded onto a container.

It's certainly one of those "this is really happening" moments when you see your wordly goods being packaged but you'll be fine. Hope the rest of the packing goes well and then you can begin to focus on sorting out any loose ends and getting yourselves over here to join your chap and your cat.

Thanks all - Day 2 and the container is due later this morning. Odd how I don't feel this is my house anymore and I have always loved it.

Losing internet from this evening so this may be one of my last posts until we are on the 'other side'.

Well all my worldy goods are now heading for Southampton. An emotional day to say the least.

Logging out now as internet is going tonight. See you guys on the other side and thanks so much for all your help and advice and support over the past few months.

Okotoks watch out - The Ross's are coming

Good luck guys, can't help feeling envious, hope its us in a year's time, we're just starting the process, it seems a lifetime away.
