We finally move into our new house tomorrow, we have had the keys since sunday and have been taking things over when we have been to see family and look after our grandson. It has really taken it's toll on me and I'm beyond exhausted and in awful pain. We picked up the van yesterday afternoon and our son come straight from work to help his dad load up ready for this mornings first trip. He had been working at a centre parcs somewhere near Bristol? And when he came out to his (fortunately company) car he found that a tree had fallen on top of it! Our friends arrived here at 9am this morning and they were wonderful helping Mr BM moving furniture and helping me clean and do final packing. The sofa is currently in the back garden of the new house as it won't go through either the front or back door, apparently at one point it was on top of the shed! No doubt it caused great amusement for the neighbours. When we had it delivered here before we had the extension and French Windows we had to have a window taken out to get the blasted thing in. My mother, bless her also came to help. I asked her to clean the bathroom, as I was busy defrosting the fridge freezer I left her to it. After she'd gone I found that she had gaily packed up everything except the toothbrushes and toothpaste. We have no soap, shampoo and minimal loo roll, poor Mr BM had to have a shower using fairy liquid! !!
I am now in bed as I can barely keep my eyes open. Have decided on a name for the new house, "Dunromin " 'cause I am never moving house again,

My dad died almost 2 years ago, and my sister & I had his house to clear and sort and sell - I was just about on my knees by the time we`d finished.

Oh well as they say, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
