Progress ….

The last few days have been mental!

After the lorry took all our worldly goods away:

the house looked pretty empty. But you wouldn’t believe how long it takes to clean an
empty house! We have been sleeping at my folks and driving up and down from greenock to the house.

Ians mum and sister and her husband and anns russian lodger gave us a huge help with cleaning and touching up all the painting.

Yesterday was finishing the garden. It looks great now, but it was hard work..

Many skips runs were involved and hefting huge bags of gravel. We are officially knackered.

Last night was a family meal at my sisters which was good fun 🙂 much food, much drink.

Today is last minute running around with customs declarations and getting a replacement battery charger for the camera as ours is on a boat to perth now. Along with so many things we could be doing with.

I don’t expect to get much sleep tonight with nerves!

The Plan (TM)

So cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a fox.

The house gets packed into a shipping container on Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th May.

We stay at my folks in Greenock till we leave – at 10:50am Saturday 17th.

We arrive in Heathrow (not Terminal 5 thankfully!) around 12:15.

We go to the Sheraton Hotel and sample its free hor d’oeuvres, and stay overnight in a king size upgraded room.

The next day, at 11:55 we fly out of Heathrow on an A380 to Singapore!

We arrive in Singapore 07:45 local time, when we head off to the Ritz Carlton and then out and about (briefly) in Singapore itself.

Once we have had an overnight in the Ritz, its Tuesday morning. At 9:35 we depart Singapore and fly out on our last leg to Perth, arriving 14:35 local time, where we will have a hire car waiting for us.

We traipse to our temporary accommodation and thats us!
