houses and stuff that goes in them

I'm going to write more in the near future about why we're off on this trip and the background to how we organised it. However, for the now, I'll write a bit about what's been happening in the past week.
Firstly, we have had the woman from the estate agents come to have a look at the house. Looks like we're going to go for a full management package (far a fee of course). I reckon I'll only just about clear my mortgage and other costs. We've been reccomended to clear the house of furniture, and I must admit I have been really worried about this. Most of the family lack the space and some even go as far even as having new babies to fill the little bit of space they've got!
Into the breach steps Bruce who will take the sofas which are my main concern. I am so grateful and have slept better since that conversation - so thanks Bruce. Most of my furniture is quite new and I have this terrible fear that I wil never be earning enough again to kit myself out to the same standard of living conditions.
So, there you go. We're now starting to box stuff up and the little boxes are starting to go to their new homes.
More to come for those with an interest in extreme packing....

We are now bloggers

Yes, it's official. This is my first test page of the blog spot I hope to use to document our forthcoming trip. Hopefully it will be a really good way to keep in touch with everyone and the pictures should keep our mums happy and prove we are still eating!
Might even persuade Greg to contribute.
More to come........Liz
