Getting bare

Our stuff is exiting the house at lightening speed. Our fridge, dishwasher, TV, drawers x6, boys bunks, toy box and filing cabinet were all picked up yesterday. The house is getting that hollow sound. The boys wanted to go to bed early because they are camping out in their room on some squabs from our caravan. Most of the things have gone from their room. It is going to be easier to keep it tidy now :) I can hear the squeals of joy from the room as I type, not a sound I should be hearing while they are sleeping mind you but hey, better than crying over their bunks going.

We have clothes all over the place due to drawers being sold. I have started to sort them into piles of keep handy, box ready to ship over and give away. The give away pile is definitely winning.

We still need to finish off a couple of jobs in our flat for the new owners. My Mum and I put lino tiles down in the bathroom the other day. It is not a professional job and does look better if you look from a distance. The house is all painted now so I can cross that off the list.

We are still no closer to our business formation in India since the last time I blogged. Still playing the waiting game in that area.

It is feeling very real now and David said he felt a tinge of sadness today at church. The sadness does not take away from our longing to go but it would be silly to say there were not emotions involved.

We are wondering if we may ask our friends and family if we can say I final farewells before the airport. As much as we want to see everyone to the last possible minute I think it may be too much for everyone to cope with, especially the kids. I would like the airport to be a time where we can focus on the adventure ahead of us. We'll see nearer the time.
