STORAGE HUNT

 

Today we are going out to look at Storage facilities.

We will need to store a shit load of boxes and things we are not using until we move.

And, if negotiations don't go well with what we hope to purchase, we will have to RENT come February.

Until we can find something we like.

Gosh what a process this is turning into.

It's not fun.  At all.

The only other thing I have on my agenda today is to continue working on the square table toppers.  

9.40 am: And we are the proud (temporary) owners of a storage unit.  We should be able to start taking boxes etc over to it later on today.

Stew is home for the next two weeks, so we should get most of what I've already packed up over there in that time.

One big hassle off my mind.

The best thing about a storage unit is, once we move, we can take our time getting it all back to our new home, instead of having to move it all ON THE DAY of settlement.  

Oh hell, no way do I want to be doing that!

I have always used a storage unit for when we move.  

We are using a storage facility we have used before, I just checked my bank statements and wow, prices have gone up!  Bank statements are wonderful things eh?  Just sayin'.

Right, on to the next thing.  Pool maintenance.

Packing more shit.

Feeding baby.

Ringing around Wildlife Bird places for advice on Baby bird's re-entry into the wild, or not.

Well, I've spoken to a bloke who does bird rescues, and he assures me I am doing everything right for Baby.  Once Baby can feed itself and fly upwards, I can release him into a bushy area and he should be fine.

Finding food for himself is an instinctive thing, so I don't have to worry about him starving.  Such a relief.

KJ:  No Baby does not need to be fed overnight.  Birds 'roost' overnight, as in, SLEEP.  If Baby needed to be fed overnight he'd already be DEAD! 😂😅😉

ABOVE: And our first two loads have gone into storage!  Talk about fast.  

Now it's lunchtime, and we are going to stop for a few hours.  Might take another load over late this afternoon.

We will wait and see how we feel a bit later.

Now... FOOD.

MARIE:  replied elsewhere. 

4.36 pm:  We just arrived home after taking our second load over to the storage facility.  It sure feels good getting some of the freakin' boxes out of here.  Now I can pack more! lol

Ha ha ha!  I had thought I'd do some sewing today.  What a joke.  We have been far too busy with moving boxes, packing boxes and just looking at... boxes.

And it is SO HOT today.  Luckily there is a stiff breeze, otherwise I would have melted already. 

7.15 pm:  We just heard from the agent working on our home purchase.  It is a done deal!

We now have to wait to go Unconditional here, then it will be all go!  I can't imagine there being any problems between now and then... I can sleep a bit easier now.

And that's me for the day.  I've been a ball of fucking nerves for so long now... what with the sale of our home, and the purchase of a new one!  I think I'll have a drink ... to celebrate and relax.
