THURSDAY - THE DAY BEFORE

 

Our last day living here, sleeping here... and I will certainly miss this gorgeous home.

There's a bit to do today, probably the biggest job will be loading the trailer with all the smaller garden pots, bench seat, etc.   

Lacy is coming over to help with some cleaning.

I want to pull all the furniture out from the walls and vacuum behind it.  And clean the skirting boards, window sills etc.

We just want to get as much done today that we can, so there is less to do tomorrow.

Luckily, there's NOT TOO MUCH 'last minute' packing to get done today.

How the hell did I do all this, so many times before?  And with kids in tow?  At least we only had to work around ourselves this time.

Coco is going to have a sleep over at Steve and Bex's tonight.  We will get her back either tomorrow night, or Saturday morning, once the madness is over.

Well, it won't be 'over' as such, as there will be heaps to do once we are in the new house.

Not least, unpacking, then bringing back everything that is in storage.  OMG I'm not looking forward to that.

I think we will be shuffling around boxes and out of place shit for weeks/months. 😖😕  

I do not know how the HELL we are going to fit all our stuff in the house, it has kept me awake for months.

Something tells me more is going to the Hospice shop. 

It is 10.25.  And Stew and I have finished the packing.  The trailer will be loaded later on this afternoon.

We are now sitting 'twiddling our thumbs'!

ABOVE:  So many empty rooms/areas!  

ABOVE:  All ready to go in the moving truck tomorrow morning.

ABOVE:  Lacy just picked up her lawnmower... and she's off to mow her lawns.  She's thrilled to have a lawn mower now.  She will be back tomorrow morning to do the final cleaning jobs for me.

Thank goodness for Lacy, Steve and Bex, we can always count on them.

ABOVE:  Coco's last day basking in the sun in this home.  Next for her is a little vacation with Steve 'n' Bex, then she's coming home to a new house.  I wonder how long it will take her to find the prime sunny spots to sit in?  😊

ABOVE: Seemed appropriate.

ABOVE:  We had lunch at FERGUS, and now... time to pack the trailer and fill the gaps in our cars.  TICK TICK TICK

I just ordered the new dining area light... and we shall go up to Auckland sometime next week to pick it up.  It will give us a timely break from unpacking, which we will need by then.

ABOVE:  Steve you will be pleased to see it's not another 'butt plug' shaped light fitting!  It's much more modern, and will give the room a lift into the 21st century.  lol  

ABOVE: The trailer is full and ready to go... tomorrow.  My car has gaps for the last minute kitchen and bathroom stuff.  Taking another break now.

OMG I'm getting so cross. I keep losing what I've written... so for the third time... we just got home from the pub. Usual routine.. him to the pub, me to the kids. 

I've finished packing everything except our toiletries and bedding. 

That will obviously happen in the morning. 

Catch ya tomorrow.
