It's been a big week with much achieved - and we even did some packing! We enjoyed "Christmas in July" silliness on Saturday night. I'd planned a roast dinner anyway, so decided to make a bit of fuss before the month ended.
My lovely china is mostly packed, so I used a simpler setting with picnic plates and a plastic tablecloth. (The crystal dessert bowls were still out cos their box is MIA - bonus)!
By Sunday night we had made contact with four removal companies, booked a skip bin and started work downstairs, culling and organising.
Through the week we've been able to revise our exit date (in keeping with our settlement and moving dates), obtain three removalist quotes and pack 40 boxes!
Nick and I have different approaches to packing. I label my boxes with a short list of the major items inside. Nick prefers a short-hand approach to labelling!
Nick did most of that packing, sorting downstairs and in our garage/shed area.
200 bottles went to a local recycling centre - in exchange for $20.00.
Today we took old batteries to a metal recycler. What an interesting and busy place that was! We're now $41.60 or so richer for doing the right thing.
We both had dentist appointments this week. Mine was a planned visit. Nick's wasn't but fortunately was an easier fix than he'd expected. Hooray!
Week 7 tally. Boxes donated: 3 (bringing that total to 8). Boxes packed: 40. Total packed: 77.
