So, it's official, we're moving interstate. In 30 days to be exact!! .. wow, it's all feeling a bit unreal, but i only need to look at my calender which is filling fast with things to be done, and a quick look around the house shows a whole lot of boxes and blank spaces where things used to be but have now been sold. The children no longer have a playroom, it's an empty room with nothing but a rug on the floor to stop the echo sound of the childrens elephant feet on the floorboards. The spare bedroom is full of boxes which are packed and ready to go in the truck. And my head is a big fat mix of exceitement, nerves and plain old dead-set-fucking-panicking!! .. AGH! .. mostly though, mostly it is excitement.
The main reason i wanted to come back to my beloved blog today was to express my amazement at some beautiful people who i haven't even met yet, who have been going out of their way to help us in our move. By joining a few mothers groups in Bundaberg i have been getting to know some lovely ladies and finding out more about the areas, the good school etc. I joined the mothers group as it scares the bejesus out of me to move so far away and not have any friends or even know a single person, and of course i want the kids to have new friends too as they are very social beings and i dont want to take that away from them. Each and every one of these mothers group ladies have been bending over backwards finding ways to help, weather its looking out for rentals for us, looking for childcare jobs, giving me PLENTY of info about the schools/kinder etc, and even going and doing an inspection on the rental property which we have had to choose via the internet. I know my husband is in shock at the kindness, and frankly so am i!!! I feel very lucky to have already made some beautiful friends, very lucky indeed :-) .. although it will be sad to say some goodbye's, im really not all that upset about leaving as it's not the other side of the world, people can fly over for holidays, we can fly back for important occasions and for all the inbetween occasions and general catch ups there is always the trust phone and internet to keep us all in touch. I am definately more excited than i am sad, there are many more positives than there are negatives and i CANT WAIT!!!
I think there is only one person in the world who is more excited about our move than we are, and that would have to be the estate agent who sold our house for us. I gave him hell, i really did .. well both of them, i gave them both hell as we wanted the house to sell in the first week. The day it went from under contract to unconditional i wrote them wonderful references, i text them some kind words and in my own 'Sharon kind of
way' i appologised for being an impatient ass .. i bet they wiped the sweat from their brows, nodded to each other and said aloud "Thank fuck we are done dealing with her .. never again mate, NEVER AGAIN" ..

Last but not least is the 'official' photo of when the SOLD sign made it to the billboard, after almost 5 months of being on the market. Poor lad had no idea i was holding my stupid sign, but i did show him straight after the photo was taken and we had a laugh. He even sent me an edited version of the photo so he could have the last say which i was sure i had already had!! .. It was all fun and games once it was sold, it was just the inbetween times where i wanted to stab him and the owned in the testicles. |
