COUNTDOWN

 

Right, I'm now doing weekly countdowns.

Seven weeks sounds so much better than 49 days.

I'm going to start packing a few more things we hopefully won't need over the next 7 weeks.

All the baking products, except maybe flour, baking power and the absolute basics.  Also a lot of the stuff that's in the pantry that we don't need/use on the daily, though I have been trying to run the pantry contents down.  

Believe it or not, I'm REALLY looking forward to doing a massive grocery shop once we have moved!  I will be able to fill my pantry, fridge and freezer up again.

This morning I am going to pull out the clothes dryer and clean behind it.  Anything I can move and clean behind NOW is one less thing to do on moving day.

ABOVE:  Marley got groomed yesterday afternoon.... the groomers always put bows and stickers on her (and Coco).  They last about 1 minute, then they are off.  Marley was a bit stressed out after her groom, as you can probably tell.

Alright, time to get a move on... I have a few things I really want to get done today.

Oh and we have a market in Morrinsville tomorrow, so I shall get all the market stuff ready for loading into the car later on as well. 

ABOVE:   😖 I have my latest jigsaw all over our dining table ... and I've got someone coming to look at the dining suite tomorrow afternoon.   Far out, I now have to move it all off the damn table.  I better get a trestle out... 

I've managed to accomplish quite a bit this morning (so far).

ABOVE:  The table is clear again, and the jigsaw is now on a big trestle in the family room (looks out of place, but who cares?).  I went over to our storage unit with a few more things, and managed to retrieve one of the extra dining suite chairs.  So now the table has 7 chairs!  lol

I even managed to clear a bit more room for more boxes at the storage unit, but that will have to wait for another day.

It is raining today, New Zealand has an 'Atmospheric River' descending right now, so lots of rain predicted for the rest of today.

I can do heaps inside today, not a problem.

ABOVE:  Another big tick on today's list of jobs.

And it didn't even take long.

It's now lunchtime, so I shall stop for a while.

I will try to get back before bedtime! lol

My leg (thanks for asking Christine) is feeling much better.  Still a bit tender, but I can walk normally again. 

Lunch is over, I had some fish cakes, which I really love.  Probably no nutritional value in them, but meh, I don't care.

On to the next job, which is the pantry and baking cupboards.

ABOVE: Chaos in my kitchen this afternoon.  But I got it done.

ABOVE:  My pantry only has the bare essentials in it now.  There's 4 big boxes over by the telly full of everything else, and all is out of the baking cupboard too.

I'm thrilled how much I got done today.  So many ticks  ✔ ☑ 👏.

Stew arrived home  and we have just finished loading the car in readiness for tomorrow.

We got all hot and sticky... ikkk.   It may have rained and drizzled all day, but it ain't cold.

So if we are lucky, it won't be cold tomorrow, but I'm taking me thermals, just in case it is.

Time to sign off for the day, I'm a bit knackered.

Catch ya tomorrow.
