Well that’s it, all our things are on their way to New Zealand (Apart for the growing “Oh no, that should have gone in the container” pile!) The move went well, smoother than I thought it would anyway.
It was planned that the shippers would come at 9.30am to do the inventory and the container would arrive mid to late morning, allowing 3 hours to load it. Mmmm, no. The container arrived at 9.45am and there was no sign of the shippers. I had to go and pick up some things and when I came back half an hour later they were hard a work. They intended to write the inventory as they went along. Ian had a detailed inventory already written but they didn’t want it. What a waste of effort that was!
To be fair to Masons (We went through John Masons and this was the firm in Barry South Wales they subcontract to) they were really hard working and the way they packed the container, with no wasted space, meant that we took a lot more of our belongings with us than we had expected to.
The next few weeks are going to be a little hard for everyone, no beds or comfy chairs to sit on. We do have a cooker and a fridge though, so I can still come in from work and get the tea on, instead of getting a take away. Lucky me!!
