Fluff breeds under the bath . . .

 



Slowly, we are inching towards the "done" and closer towards stuff being taken from this home to our new one (all kicks off next Wednesday).  Paperwork is being read and signed and we are rather hoping we don't get bad weather to put things on hold.

    The last couple of days have seen all the airing cupboard and a coffer full of bed-linen being emptied and bagged and the last two spare duvets being put in ziplock bags to flatten and travel smaller. Plus packing of more awkward stuff.   Today the deep-cleaning began and the main bathroom is now sparkling.  I couldn't believe the mass of fluff under the bath!

    I have 3 more bathrooms to render pristine but those shouldn't take too long.  I had a good vacuum up in the master suite as there were lots of dead cluster flies (I shan't miss those when we leave!) and we had our Removal chappy coming to do a final recce and bring more supplies yesterday.

    


    Footprints in the snow on a recent cold walk - the size of them suggested Badger (and there are LOTS around here).

    I cannot quite believe what Trump incited in America.  The man is an utter lunatic and needs removing from power soonest.  

    People might be moaning about the speed of the rollout of the vaccine for Covid, but hearing about what hoops people have to jump through in France, at least we're well ahead of them!

    Still enjoying Shameless, and enjoying nature programmes which give us wonderful armchair travel to all parts of the world.

    Keep safe everyone.

  1. Goodness me - next Wednesday for you is great! Just a little disheartened for us as everything is moving so slowly this time around. Had a ridiculous request from buyers solicitor yesterday which took ages to sort out as we weren't allowed to go into our solicitors to explain some documentation because of lock down. We said several times "we are NEVER moving again"!

  2. Glad all is going well, here's hoping that this continues and you will be in your new home very soon. Take care.

  3. It's Friday we go, but they will be packing our contents away then. Sorry you are struggling so with the demands of the buyer's solicitor (believe me, we had some of those too) but not being able to go to the Solicitors to sort it out properly is so frustrating. We too, said those NEVER moving again words many times in the last months.

  4. Pleased to hear everything nearing completion and I hope weather stays ok. It is finally nearly here :) Have to admit all your hard work and blog posts have completely put me off the thought of moving!! Good luck and I look forward to seeing photos around your new home.
