container
Well hello all, one of the big days has dawned. We have had Pickfords here for a couple of days and today the container is parked outside our house and now being loaded up. It is a very strange feeling. I am feeling a bit of a moment coming on as it now seems so real Watching our life being put into boxes is very strange and even though its what we have been waiting for and working towards it is very emotional. We had our leaving party Saturday night and it was a wonderful night and loads of our friends and family turned up and then you start thinking: Why are we leaving this great bunch of people? I only cried about 4 times so thats pretty good really. We have a week left in our house (with no things in it!!) then a couple of weeks at my mother-in-laws before we fly. Very excited and very nervous. Bevissa

Hi there,I remember having a wee cry when I saw all my stuff being loaded into the container so nothing wrong with that! It does make it all seem so more real though,doesn't it? Good luck with the next few weeks.
