Hooray!

Great weekend for selling that was! We got rid of the sofa, armchairs and dining room table and chairs for the price we wanted. And we've just got rid of one of our bed frames and various other stuff on Freecycle to a couple of girls moving into their first flat. The wonders of t'internet. Just discovered we've also got a £50 cheque coming our way for a recommending a company to my parents. It's all coming up roses, as they say....

Paperwork

I gotta say, the amount of paperwork generated by this move is incredible!
T seems to have been working non-stop to get her various papers in order. Everything from CRB checks to work permits, replacement certificates to signing oathes with solicitors (that's another fiver please) and 101 passport photos of the whole family. And more to come. They do like their photos over there. Aside from the obvious passports we need them for security passes, dependant passes, school passes, school year book etc etc. Last week she went for a chest x-ray (privately, at Tanglin's expense of course, in and out in five minutes. Very handy when you've a grumpy toddler in tow!). The doctor has already signed off a medical check which T needs to pick along with the report on the x-ray. There's an awful lot more which she's been working on but frankly it's easier to stay out of it if I don't need to get involved.
I've got plenty to keep me going with the house and Ebay. And it's only going to get busier as we approach flight day. Think it's soon going to be time to get the letting agent in for real rather than just the speculative chat I had with them last time! Things have rather moved on since then which was just a day before t's interview. Now its all for real.

Gathering pace.... and possessions!

So begins the great Ebay giveaway.
