THE FURNITURE HAS MOVED

Woke up yesterday at 4am to get going in time for the furniture removal truck.  Woke up feel terrible as I have a very sore throat and feel like I have been given razor blades to eat.  Danny fetched Calvyn's van and Mike dropped his BIG trailer off, so we were all set.
The truck arrived early as promised, and with 5 guys all my furniture and 100 boxes were packed and ready to go within an hour.  Amazing to see you whole life packed into a truck.

We all set off at more or less the same time.  Danny and John in the van and Monique and I with puppy in my car.

Along the road we were phoned by John to tell us to slow down as their petrol was running low.  Someone read the guage at 3/4 instead of 1/4.   Fortunately there is 1 petrol station alone the 150km route and we made it to there.  By this time I was convinced that the truck would be outside the house waiting for us, so phoned my Angel who collected the keys for me and looked out for the truck.

Arrived to find the truck has not arrived yet, so all was well.  due to road works, they had been delayed for and hour, fortunately I missed the turnoff so had to take a dirt road which as not too good after heavy rains.

The angel sent her husband down with the keys and later phoned to tell him to come and fetch lunch. delicious soup with home made bread.

When the truck eventually arrived-the guys again unpaced in record time, and asked where everything had to go.  They even arranged my lounge for me.  If ever you want a 6 star removal company, contact Gina at AA Movers in Mantague Gardens.  All my quote and dealings have been via internet or phone.  What wonderful service.

Due to traffic and road works it took us 3 hours to get back home.  Oh what fun to sit in the lounge on garden chairs and sleep on blow up beds.  As soon as one turns over the other goes up in the air - such romantic fun, and so cold.  Put the electric blanked on top of us for some heat.

Today I am feeling worse than ever, but have to get going as we have to pack the last of our goodies and clen windows etc before our final trip down on Saturday.
