Final week of school done, last tennis lessons and golf lesson attended, been to Adam's school play, which was great and Hannah's Easter assembly. Nearly a disaster that one, as we had to make an Easter hat, so imagine my horror when I looked in the cupboard the day before and found all our arty bits and glue etc had been dispatched. Fortunately, the school came to the rescue with coloured card and we cobbled together an Easter themed crown with sellotape and staples.
Wednesday bought an unexpected shock when due to a burst water mains, St Albans was without water so Hannah's school closed for the day. My morning plan had been, estate agents, bank, a couple of shops, physio, solicitors and delivery of 5 house plants. Huge thanks to Anna who came to the rescue and took Hannah for the morning with her daughter Grace so I could dash about. Grace came to us for the afternoon and they played beautifully, despite us having almost no toys but I was able to organise presents for teachers etc.
Well, we now sit in a half empty house. The removals guys were very understanding of my instructions along the lines of "OK, this room can be packed up, but this one, just do those shelves. Now here, I've marked the cupboards you can do, but please leave the glasses on the bottom shelf over here....." Great guys and back for more punishment on Tuesday.
Now we're trying to pack our suitcases, airfreight and a case of winter clothes to stay with David's father for our Christmas visit, whilst not going over our various allowances and still have enough clothes to wear til Wednesday. Somehow we'll get there.... not long to go and I'm sure suddenly, things here will seem a whole lot less important as we embark on the next stage of setting up over there.
More when we arrive next week - next week? Wow, I can't believe we're almost there!
