ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

 

All I wanted for Christmas was a contract on our home.

And today... it will happen!

Our buyers finally got their act together last night, and we all agreed, on all the points.

So, sometime today we will be signing the contracts.

And if all goes through, we will be moving mid February!

So, after Christmas it will be time to pack up even more stuff! 

We will still be having Open Homes until the sale got unconditional of course, so I can't pack up everything yet.

Baby bird is doing well.

I will need to go and buy more meal worms, so he has plenty of food over the Christmas period, when the shops are closed.

That's all for now.

Catch ya later.

8.09 am:  Gosh, the things you think about overnight!

I was worried Baby bird needed some grass to be on, and a twig to hold onto, for his claws to develop properly.

First thing I did when I got out of bed, still in me nightie, I went outside and dug up a wee bit of our lawn (from a discrete place).

Then I got Baby a new temporary home.

ABOVE: And the first thing Baby did?  Climb onto that twig!  And he's happily chirping away.

AND I fed him some fresh defrosted muscle this morning... it went down a treat.  So I don't need to race around trying to find mealworms now.

That's a relief.

Now.  On to the next thing.

I'm off to get more packing boxes.  There's quite a bit more I can pack up that we are not using for the next 2-3 months.  I'm also going to check out storage facilities.  We might be able to store our stuff in a friend's workshop, but if not we will need somewhere for a shit load of stuff until we are ready to move it into our new  home.

Which we have not even got yet!  I will probably get Stew out and about again after Christmas to firm up somewhere for us to live.  YIKES.

Wasted trip out.  The Warehouse had virtually no packing boxes left, just a few that were too small.

I rang around, and found some boxes in town, so went in and picked them up.  It's a bit cray cray in town, but I did manage to get a car park fairly close to the store.

Now home and contemplating doing a few things towards tomorrow's Christmas lunch.
