The Big Move

Well we're all moved in to our new house. Things are great, although the place is a bomb site and I can't wait to have everything unpacked. We're both forever walking around going "do you know where such and such is?" and the answer is always "no".

Our moving crew consisted of me and Q, Q's dad, Chris, Ben, Anton, Ellie, and Hal. Q's mum and sister turned up later to help and feed us. Q's dad, Chris, Ben, Anton, and Ellie stayed Friday night and we were up early Saturday morning to have a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs. Then we picked the truck up at 9am and began loading it up. We moved everything in two trips and everything was unloaded by 1pm - not bad going! We saw the kitties again, but unfortunately one was very sick so we got the SPCA to come over and take them away. They could only catch the sick one but we've been given a trap to catch the others. While all that was going on the previous owner showed up to fix the fence and mow the lawns which he was going to do before we moved in. It was nice to meet him and he was lovely enough to give us a bottle of wine. By mid afternoon Q and I were all alone so we went to pick up Quilla and Katie and bring them back and begin the mammoth task of unpacking. Needless to say we were both stuffed so we didn't get much done. I had a killer headache, but do you think I could find the panadol anywhere? No! So we were in bed by 9 and hoped to get a good nights sleep. But that was not to happen. We'd put the mattress on the bed upside down (we thought both sides were the same, obviously not) and it just wasn't comfortable. So we tossed and turned all night and were tired for Sunday. We spent a couple of hours Sunday morning cleaning our old place, then headed off to Bunnings to buy a shower caddy. We couldn't find one suitable, but we did almost purchase a new toilet (they're so cheap!). But we couldn't be arsed so we went home and tried to do more unpacking. Hopefully we'll get everything organised soon so we can have a housewarming party!
