16 days!

The countdown is really on now... 15 days to go!
Noel is still working down in Busselton and I am still cleaning the house and getting ready for the garage sale this weekend. It is going to be a huge Garage Sale!!!
Abby and Jenna love having a big long sleepover at Nanna and Grandads but I think me being there two takes away some of their excitement!
We have two very busy weekends left in Perth and 2 family birthdays as well.
It will be great seeing everyone but I am starting to get a little emotional when I think about the goodbye's. So I just wont think about them...easy as that!

3 weeks to go

Well we have moved out of our house and into Mum and Dads till we leave. It made things alot easier as it meant I could pack EVERYTHING!
Abby cant believe she gets to have a sleepover at Nanna's house. Every night before bed she asks me if she can stay at Nanna's house again...poor chicken, she doesn't get it :(

The move has begun

Well today made it all very real....and even more exciting!

We moved a trailer load of stuff to Mum and Dads. We are storing it there while we are away in their play room that probably wont be seeing much action while we are away.

We delivered a heap oof stuff to Jane and Marks that they wanted to use while we are gone and took a load to the Cranes as well (pump that iron Mike!)

Noel had a run in with the trailer today...the trailer won...

We are under 40 days now - we are very excited - we know people think we are mad and stupid for going but I say Life is for Living and that we will deffiantely do!

Peace

Holy Shit Moment

Well today I officially had a HOLY SHIT moment when I realised that in 6 weeks we are out of here.
The sorting, throwing away and packing has begun and the crates are piling up.
The thing most on my mind at the moment is changing my address with EVERYONE - and cancelling mailing lists that insist on sending me stupid flyers even though I have never bought anything from them - I reckon I have saved the companies a combined total of $50 in postage and stationery.
My world is divided at the moment into many sections - the keep section, the throw away section, the sell at the garage sale sectionthe lend section and take with us section - each section has a different place in my house.
The poor girls, each day they are seeing more and more things packed away, they are a bit confused, Jenna burst into tears yesterday when I wrapped in butchers paper her plate, bowl and mug set that her Nanna gave her, I went and gave her a hug and asked her if she would like me to not pack it for a couple more weeks and she said yes please and calmed down. Poor darling!
Abby is still just telling everyone that she is going to Disney Land and going to see Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and that Jenna is going to do ice skating and she is going to play hockey (she is going to be dissapointed when she realises she is too young - Noel said he will play with her on the rink he reckons he is going to build in the back yard!!

6 weeks - AARGH
