We achieved a lot this week. Nick continued his work in the garage, packing stuff to go and sorting rubbish, ready for our skip bin. (It's booked for the end of the month over a period when Nick is at home).Nick has started taking apart his studio and some mouse-affected blanketing will be binned. He found a great deal on older acoustic foam tiles and acquired those for a replacement set-up in the new house.
Two insect enclosures were sold. Various chairs were listed for sale. Four of those have sold and we've had interest in others.
Our larger tent is also advertised but we've decided to keep the smaller one.
We talked about our removalist quotes and booked a company. Now we have a moving date, I'm thinking a count-down might be good motivation.
I declared my birthday a packing free day, then planned an itinerary and enjoyed some excellent celebrations. Nick and I spent the day in the city, viewed some wonderful jewelery - and generally took some time out.
Packing was a bit of a let-down after all that great adventuring but progress is continuing.
Now our birthdays are over, I've packed away more glasses and a smaller teaset. There are still a few glasses, for celebratory bubbles and similar indulgences as our settlement day approaches.
Erin donated another two bags in her down-sizing. She's also sold more fish, to make moving her large tank set-up easier.
Of course, life goes on around the moving missions. There's still work for Nick, TAFE for Vaughan, Erin's opshop volunteering - and my at-home efforts.
Week 8 tally. Boxes donated: 2 (bringing that total to 10). Boxes packed: 14. Total packed: 91.
