Long time no blogging... that's because we've probably had the most exhausting two weeks of our lives! Having spent all week in Oxford I returned home on the Thursday night to start packing, lifting, carrying and delivering almost everything we own or owned! Beth's work in selling all the furniture came to fruition as I spent much of the weekend delivering beds, television units, sideboards, washing machines, fridge freezers, more beds and kitchen utensils! Jean and Jon came down to visit and were very helpful in being helping hands and also to reassure that everything would be out by Sunday... even if I'm not sure that they believed it themselves! In fact the only things that we had left come Sunday night were a set of two IKEA table lamps... (Still available for £5 the pair! ;0) )
In amongst all the amateur removals ,and the use of skateboards to transport a mattress 500 yards down the road, the professionals came to pack everything else, leaving us with nothing more than a suitcase each! Everything was well packaged including Beth's birthday presents... one of which was meant to be packed one which was not! After a night off to celebrate Beth's Birthday (see above!) we got up later than we should have and started to pack the other bits and bobs we need until December. That took much longer than expected and so we turned up three and a half hours late for a roast dinner at Lou and Lloyds before driving in convoy (Stan and the Yaris!) to Bristol arriving at 10:30pm.... To top that off Beth and I were up at 6:30am the next day ready for the train back to Oxford!
