Well here I sit at 6.55pm on Wednesday in a house stripped of pretty much everything except the kitchen, the sofa and our beds (we won't mention the front room being full of boxes and the piano). The movers worried us slightly by not turning up til 9.15 when they said they'd be here around 8 - (apparently an accident on the ring road held them up so all was forgiven) but since then they have been a tour de force. Rik and I have almost felt in the way at times!
Though despite our best efforts we have had conversations this evening along the lines of "have we a story for Dan?" "erm, they're in the van". Whoops! But that's okay cos we can look in the big bookcases; oh they've been packed too; hang on what about the books kept downstairs: nope! There's nothing left! Lucky Dan took two muslins to nursery this morning or he wouldn't have any of those either!! I can't even upload photos of the "pack in progress" from my camera as the photo-card reader has gone too .......
But we're feeling a bit more optimistic. It finally feels like it's happening and we can be excited about the new house. Plus Dan has been walking round all day at Orchard Lea telling everyone it's his last day - so maybe he does know what's going on. Apparently this has upset one of his friends though - and more surprisingly her mum!
not sure how long I'll have the laptop in the morning so this may be the last entry until we're in: but hopefully we'll be able to get back on line fairly quickly since we have the wireless dongles (suddenly they make sense!)
