well another stage completed
Just to say that we have had pickfords here all day today and our belongings are now in large van all wrapped and ready to be shiped 
I have to say I cannot say anything about pickfords at the moment, we had 3 packers and all was so organised. I was so stressed in the lead up to today and worrying how manic today was going to be, but it has been very calm, and light hearted which has been lovley. It is so hard to see all your belongings in a lorry, knowing it is going so far away, however, I am excited to see what we packed when it arrives, going to be so much fun!!!
I kept them in coffee with bacon and sausage butties, even layed the table for them as that not going, lol. Everyone is right mind you, if its in from of them they will pack it
you have to be so carefull and a few times I had to take things out of the paper/bubble wrap from them
So another chapter completed, just a feel a bit shitty as it is xsmas next week and the boys are sat on deck chairs, pmsl. Oh well, a xsmas they wont forget eh? Now I can shout at them to get to their mattress oh and Harri's face was a picture when he walked in from school, lol. Just leaving him to it now, he has to accept that we are going as we cannot do anything to change his mind, so thats that!
Well I am off like many of us on here, to sit on my dick chair and have a cuppa, gonna have a nice LARGE glass of wine 2nite too........ mmmmmm happy days.
