Well, after 2 days of packing and a couple of hours loading the container, it left Great Easton (LEICS) this afternoon, heading towards Wellington... :) phew, you'd think I'd done all the packing! ha ha ;)

Great chaps packing and loading, expected to arrive in about 8 weeks, but its going straight into storage as we will be house hunting. (after a shockingly long holiday!) (ps. we don't leave until 22 Nov!).

We have a plot in Alexandra, but because we've had no luck in selling the house here, we will live in Wellington for work, we're planning to come back in two years and attempt to sell the house (again), (we've rented it out).

I'm looking forward to getting there now, we bought the plot in December last year, and have had work going on in the background - landscaping etc. No house on there yet, looking at Signature or David Reid homes, not sure if we will use an Architect, don't know anything about costs on that front! All good fun! hooray, we're on our way!!!!!!! woo hoo!

Wow bet you have let out a huge sigh of relief - have come on the forum for a break and rest after spending the whole day sorting out my piles of 'C's' -crate, case, charity, chuck!!!!!!!!! :p

Can't wait till its all packed in the container and on its way!

yeah did that, my poor neighbours inherited soooo much stuff - ha ha! :laugh .Car full of charity boxes, and my poor Dad in law has got all our opened food stuffs! He leaves to go to NZ for a holiday (for 5 months!!!) on the 8th Nov.
Soo stressed, I've got a 2 and a bit year old, who can't "play on his on while mummy is cleaning the bathroom for the new tenants - pleeeease" and a cat who is vomiting in the car on the way to Dad in laws (ugh), to stay for a month! DONT LET THE CAT OUT oops I let the cat out......hhhhmmm - don't worry got her back. (this is the cat who refuses to poo, she's booked in for a extraction of poo on the 9th Nov, due to the last episode!!!) - think positively! we are on our way!! Just keep swimming, as dory says! :raebanana

I'm lucky my older two (11 and 9 year olds) have been keeping the youngest (2.5) entertained. But i'll be sending him off to grandmas next week when the shippers come!
