Everything is out. James hired a truck on Tuesday and all the big stuff is gone. As a matter of fact there is now just an empty house. I cleaned everything yesterday, every wall and every wet area. Now there is windows, sliding doors and the outside to do. Liz, you so helped me telling me of the pick up coming up in your area. That is where the containers are so we piled everything in the truck, took off what we decided to keep and took the rest up the front and left it on the verge. Granted we probably would have saw that when we were coming as people are starting to leave stuff out now but not too many. Made me confident to throw it all on though and tell James we could leave stuff on the verge. The next door neighbour helped out so much with the heavy stuff at my place and he needed a washing machine and fridge so he took those off our hands as well as heaps of other stuff, bookshelves, books etc. His kettle had even blown up he was saying so he helped us offload a bit. I let them go through whatever they wanted that was going to the salvos and they have really been helping out. Anyway, better get back into it. It is Mark's week and the poor thing has had all this to do. Tomorrow I have a doctors appointment though and I have promised him we will have a day in the city. I will take him out for lunch so have to go get stuck into this cleaning today. Mark set all of this computer up last night. I was too tired, I went to bed and I wake up and it is all magically together and looks great! I'm working on the weekend but I will still have time to do stuff in between I am sure if needed. I want to be able to hand the keys in Monday but will have to see when the carpet cleaners can come. Going to ring now. Have a great weekend everyone. Very sad to hear that Lui has gone. Not a nice thing to turn my computer on to! xx
