Walkabout Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well the packers have been... and packed... they were great, but I think we might have a few random things in that we didn't intend to take but didn't get to fish out in time! they are a ruthless bunch packers! So we are on day 1 of 'camping' in our house, very strange but I am sure we will get used to it! here is breakfast this morning...(if the pictures works!) next stop follow our belongings to Perth!

Redsquare Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Great pic. I remember when we sold our house. For the last few days all we had was a radio and an inflatable air bed that needed pumping up in the middle of the night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkabout Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thank you people, we are here for a week before leaving, eek! the kids are excited (mostly about the fact that the chances are that they wont go back to school until February!) although they are climbing the walls slightly today as they literally have nothing to do! still its the weekend tomorrow so hubby will be around as well to entertain them (we only have a bit more painting to do before we go!) and then the fridge, freezer and washing machine go . I am sure we will look back on this time fondly in years to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the thought of staying with the in-laws for a few nights a bit more bearable! ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsyburrell Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Are we missing something.....we fly out Thursday and still got a full house?? I may be stressed, but, comfortable stressed at least? Good luck Weston clan obviously more organised us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkabout Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 bugsyburrell, not sure if it is organised or stupid! it was organised but then all the organisation had to be re-organised (several times!). Are you shipping stuff? we needed to get stuff going so that we could finish the painting and put a new carpet down for the tenants. How I envy those with a comfy sofa right now!

bugsyburrell Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 We're pretty much selling everything apart from the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher so along with our personal effects we're only shipping out a few pallets worth. Last few days we've had painters and new carpets laid which would have been a hell of a lot easier but that's us all over, why make life easy?

Walkabout Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Good for you! I can see that as a really sensible way forwards! believe me when I tell you that we have sold and got rid of A LOT of stuff (hubby is a hoarder!) but I think (and hope!) the kids at least will be grateful for some of their own things when we get there! we have managed with only a 20ft container - believe me had we have taken everything we would have needed a lot more!
