I have spent the last few days moving boxes from one house to another, but it's getting old. Having moved many, many times I have it down to a fine art, but even so, it is always at this point when I am in the thick of it, I ask myself "why oh why?". Poor daughter is also sick of it, in a way she is doing two moves, her stuff from her house to here, unload, then load up with my stuff to move over to our new place as she is helping me to get all the small stuff shifted. Anyway we are finally on the eve of moving day, almost everything that can be is in a box, tomorrow we will load up all the furniture and my move will be done!
Then Friday we will move daughter and son-in-law's furniture, most of their small stuff is already clogging up my basement. We will all be very glad to get to the weekend and have it all behind us.
On the bright side, we have booked flights for hubby and I to go to France!! Whooppee! We fly on Boxing Day and I return to Canada on January 4th while hubby returns to work in the UK. It is probably going to be cold and damp in the house but it will still be great to catch up with friends, share some festive cheer with everyone and hopefully get to talk to some builders to plan the next step in the project.
Ok that's it, I need to stop procrastinating and get back to it. I will report again once I am settled in the new place, think of me and send me happy, energetic thoughts......

I'm sending you many happy, energetic thoughts and hope the big move goes very well. Have a great time in France.
Thanks Nora, almost there, now the unpacking starts :)
Unpacking and starting life again but in a new place. It can be fun but so annoying. Where should I put this? What will I do with that?
I could tell from the pics you posted earlier that you have a wonderful flair for decorating. I'm sure it's going to look grand once you are settled.
And France! Wheeeeeeee!!!!!
Have done - you deserve it!
Aims - you are right - it is fun to redecorate and re-invent yourself when you move house.
