Leaving home……….

Well my house is very empty. Last item to go was my king size Silentnight bed, god i’m going to miss that bed !!

A bit sad to see it so empty and lifeless but time to move on and all that. Done the last bit of cleaning and read all the meters. Made all the last phone calls and put the rubbish out. Soon to be headed off to Heathrow for a night in the Travel Lodge before flying out to Hong Kong tomorrow lunchtime.

Bye bye little house, bye bye UK.

Still working on leaving…….

Well the house is looking less and less like a home. Sofas have been sold as well as other furniture, beds, tables, lamps and the cupboards are very empty. One car has been sold and the other is due to be picked up on friday. I convinced the new owner to let me keep it as I have to do another 3/4 trips to the skip to dump the remaining rubbish. The garden pond has been filled in and turfed. Numerous phone calls to all the utility companies made and bank/mortgage/credit cards informed of what i’m doing.

Christ this is all very hard work.

Got some travel vaccinations updated today – dead arm already so i’m glad I cut the grass earlier !!
