Good morning, Mick and everyone from a sunny dry Carlisle...at last. It's a year since I sold my last place!
Jaxjacky, thank you, my move went very smoothly. The removers arrived on Thursday at 8am to pack up the remaining few items they had left me with overnight. We were all out by 9am and I went down to Whitehaven to turn in my keys. By the time I arrived in Carlisle, the guys were unloading my stuff. They did a brilliant job both ends, such hard work and they barely stopped, sustained by coffee and biscuits by me. One of them was a skinny little fellow in his fifties I guess, but up and down stairs constantly with heavy boxes. I have an awful lot of books....They were gone soon after 1pm, to do yet more work. I took it easy, it's been a tiring few days, cleaning and packing . One priority, though, was getting the internet going, not quite as simple as BT had suggested in their instruction leaflet with my new hub. With the help of the site manager, it was achieved though my landline isn't working. Apparently a cable fault in the house, not BT.
Next week will bring a big shopping spree as I have no storage whatsoever upstairs and need wardrobes, chests etc, etc. My previous home was all fitted furniture and shelving all installed by my DIY expert DH.
Today, more box opening. I am wondering why one old lady needs so much stuff! And I have to tackle all the tedious admin...changing my address with an endless list of organisations etc. In spite of this, I shall be watching the DoE's final journey.
harrigran I do hope you and your DH and your DS have a better day today. And you too, Cherry, what a difficult time you are having with your health and your neighbour.
One thing I have unpacked is my very own pink flamingo, I'm hoping he likes his new home!
A nice sunny day to all.
