Let no one tell you that preparing for permanent travel is easy!
After a few very busy days our house is looking a tad empty and very messy. Charlotte was devastated when her table, aka our dining table, was picked up today but I was very thankful for the kindness of the eldest daughter from the family who bought it. She told Charlotte they would take care of the table and she would eat her breakfast at it while Charlotte travels. That did the trick and she went off to play with Bonnie, another beautiful girl from the family of 8 who will go on to make many more memories at the ‘Family Table’
We have met some lovely people during our sales and hopefully some of them will follow our journey. I really need to follow Adens lead and get some contact cards made up……where are my minions when I need them!
We still have a few big items and 2 cars to sell but we are keeping our heads and look forward to this time next week when we will be just about to take off for New Zealand.

We received the paperwork from the bank today. The broker did say it was stupendously simple and he was right but the excitement was spoilt by needing 2 stat decs, with the amount of paperwork we have done over the past few years we would love to live next to a JP!!

So we will impatiently wait through the public holiday tomorrow and return them on Friday yippee

The girls had their basketball presentation this afternoon and although they had fun it made me realize how much I will miss their school and the friends and support we have there. I feel a great debt of gratitude to their coach who through the simple power of fun and respect lifted their self esteem, gave them goals, taught them team work and most importantly made them smile and laugh! You rock with awesomeness Coach Pete xoxo
