Provided our buyers' buyers get their act in gear (apparently they are "waiting for management company information to come through"), we will be completing the sale of our house two weeks tomorrow.
Over the weekend we arranged for Oxford-based homeless charity Emmaus Oxford to collect some of the large pieces of furniture that we won't be taking with us (they have a shop that sells second-hand [donated] furniture on to people who have been homeless and are just getting set up in a home for the first time).
We also tried to make some sort of plan for the 10 days in which we will be nomads before we leave the UK (all but two of the nights are accounted for so far, with a combination of staying in friends' spare rooms, B&B nights at pubs and visits to family). We also set up mail forwarding and booked our Eurotunnel crossing for Monday 5th May!!
This evening Lucca and Florence are due to have their rabies injections at the vets. I'm not looking forward to that one little bit, especially as I now have to take them on my own as Stuart has an appointment elsewhere (hmm, very convenient...). Thankfully, Allison has agreed to pop home with me to help me wrangle them into their travel boxes.
We took delivery of 30 packing boxes from the removals firm today, so tonight the packing starts!
