I think I have packed all my clothes now. For the most part, we are going to live out of suitcases for the next week. Let's imagine that we're on holiday for seven days, shall we? There are a few items of clothing that are going to be shipped, but I won't be needing them until spring/summer.
In Britain now, it's getting warmer, and even in Brussels it was 17 degrees. I think it's going to be a shock to get to Canada and not see an end to snow until, er, August? How long does it take to melt six feet of snow? [Answers please on a postcard]
Julian took the printer to mum's, and a couple of tables too. The back room (computer room) is now empty but for the computers themselves, and part of the library. Nothing in the visitors' bedroom is being shipped, so that's where we'll stash the stuff we're taking ourselves as the removal men do their thing on Monday.
Shipping eBay stuff isn't as easy as you'd think. Because we're leaving the house on Wednesday, we've arranged for the post to be redirected from Tuesday. This means that it would be difficult to accept cheques for the eBay sales, so I asked buyers to use PayPal only. Out of 12 items, half of the buyers have asked where to send the cheque ... ARGH!
Tomorrow is last minute panic, Monday we "move", Tuesday we clear up, Wednesday we hand over the keys, Thursday we see my mum, Friday see Steve Palmer, Bruce Ure et al, and Saturday ... EEEEEEOOOOOWWWWWWWW. (Sound of a 747)
