...a sad day indeed!
Tomorrow our much loved, little home for over the past 4 years... will become somebody else’s. Well that’s not entirely true, as we will still be the lucky owners of such a little gem, but as of tomorrow Amity Grove will have new tenants.
Last weekend entailed the ‘BIG MOVE’, where we packed up most of our stuff...and boy do we have a lot of stuff...to move it into the new house in order to prepare for the week ahead. Neville very kindly helped Mark with the heavy stuff, as my ‘guns’ just didn't quite cut the mustard!
The rest of the week entailed a clean of what we thought was an incredibly empty house, with just the sleeper couch and some other bits and bobs we thought we might need over the next week. An entire new paint job all round - care of Mark. Lady Muck did help with a wall in the spare room...but in my defense I was catching up on some last minute readings and preparations for my assignment which was due on Thursday AM (and I’m pleased to say it was the 14th and final of a rather heavy work load this year...next up the exam...ai jai jai).
Anyway the week passed with a few hiccups along the way...our boiler which was due to be serviced before the new tenants moved in,(and which had never given us a problem in all the four and a bit years) of course decided to cause havoc. One small problem, soon followed suit with a fair few bigger problems much to ours and our pockets dismay. We were extremely lucky though to have my lovely cousins nearby (who had just moved in round the corner), who let us use their shower as we pleased...and not to mention the meals on wheels (aka Amy), who very kindly and thoughtfully kept us in check with our meat and veg quota for the week, with stews and lasagne, as opposed to take-aways we would have had...which was VERY WELCOME!
Thursday night came...Mark went to carry on painting the new place and I stayed to pack up the remaining bits and bobs, as the cleaners were coming today for the final clean. The bits and bobs turned into a massive amount...seriously I don't know where it all came from! Nevertheless we got it all packed and shall endeavour to get it all across to the new house before the tenants arrive at midday tomorrow.
The biggest move of all will be for our little Molly Mouse! We have discovered the neighbours at the new place, on one side have a lovely (although Molly might not agree) white Labrador which should make it rather interesting! I guess the test will now be to see how much she really loves us or Amity Grove... But hopefully she takes to the new house soon and continues to entertain and amuse us.
So it's Good-Bye to Amity Grove which has been an absolutely awesome home, with lots of good and happy memories!
