No visible movement

Well despite working our buts off over the weekend and even taking Friday off to get a little extra done we have yet to move into the house.

I think that if we were younger and less exhausted and if mums place didn't have an open fireplace and a large supply of wine we might have made the effort. However the bathroom still smells (despite do everything I can think off including a little angry dance), the doona is
at the dry cleaners and we have (so far) one chair and a beanbag between us!

However, we have some smaller bits of furniture, the bed is screwed together, there are towels in the bathroom half the kitchen stuff is unpacked and about half of that is washed and ready to go and the pantry actually has food in it!!

Plus miracle of all miracles the fridge (that is mum's as mum has ours...very confusing hey wot!) started after 9 years in storage. Ooh they don't make em like they used to!

Opening the boxes has been a little exciting. 6 years is a fairly long time and without realizing it your tastes and opinions undergo subtle (and sometimes not so subtle changes) There's a lot of stuff in storage that I wouldn't buy now and much I would have thrown out over the years had we still been using it. I suspect a giant garage sale is in my not too distant future!

SO things have progressed somewhat...just not as much as we'd hoped and so it will be another week at least before we move back into our house. If I'm grown up and sensible this is for the best. This will give us time to unpack a bit more and get organized, which will make the eventual moving in much smoother.

Now if only I could convince myself that I wanted to be grown up and sensible!!!
