Time to move

We have decided it is time to move, Council should be all done within the next few weeks and we really need this time to pack up and get out!
We found a place on Friday and get the keys next week, I am feeling so overwhelmed by how much I have to do. I started packing months ago however this house is so small I had to stop at some point as I had no where to put boxes without feeling like I was living in the middle of a lego building. At least the house we are moving to is big enough to store the stuff we don't need as well as live comfortably.

A council clean up or 2 will be required as well as a skip bin, I AM FREAKING OUT HERE!

This how it feels right now

Learning to be patient

Not a lot has happened in the last month, we are in limbo and patiently waiting to make our next move. Friday I spent the entire day sorting through one of the kids rooms and throwing out rubbish and broken toys, I managed to pack and throw out the majority of it, I am now left with a pile of toys, lego, duplo, barbies etc etc to sort through, some to keep and some off to charity.

We had to resubmit our landscape plan which we are currently getting done by designerscapes and I highly recommend them. We spoke to the lady assessing our council application and she said she will continue to assess it so there won't be any delay. I almost ended up in a meltdown over the whole thing...crazy I know but it has been one of those weeks! 

Started to look for a rental on Saturday, hmm I am glad it will only be temporary! There is nothing nice about these places. I do realise that our current accommodation is only worthy of demolition, but it has been our home for the past 10+ years, and I raised my children in this house. However I am not sure if  it is the accommodation we are looking for is not desirable because it is not or because of my attachment to my house that I could not wait to huff and puff and blow down! This attachment to the house has completely caught me off guard I am feeling so sad about leaving here yet I am so excited and can't wait to live in our new home its all this in-between stuff I don't like.

Hopefully I will have something more exciting to write about in the next couple of weeks, in the meantime I am having a lesson in patience.
