Killing time

Hiiiiiiiiii

Its been a while since I posted, almost a whole 2 weeks!!!! I have been busy....

Did the yard sale at Laura's.  Made some money, but it was such a stinking hot day that everyone was down the beach (who can blame them!!!!).  After the yard sale we went to the Gosling's in Stamford-in-the-Vale to start depositing "stuff".  Stopped at grandads bike shop on the way, boys love a good ride, and got rid of my bike.  They will be selling it as second hand, so if you fancy a very cool Schwinn Cruiser at a reduced price, pop to Cycle King, Oxford!!!!  Was nice to catch up with the Goslings, it was very hot so we took the paddling pool.  Had a BBQ.  The boys decided after the BBQ to go in the paddling pool naked, then run round the garden with the water pistols trying to get daddy and uncle Tony.  Very humourous.....

Me and the boys went to see my dad yesterday.  We had a brief coffee and biscuits at dads, then took them to Aldershot Military Museum.  They loved it!!!  Then on for Grandad's favourite food, McDonalds!  Was nice to see him, yet hard to think there are not going to be many more times when i can drive an hour up the road to see my mum or dad....

My boys like tanks!!!!

Also had a night out with the school mums.  Was good to get some yummy food, that I didn't cook, and have a nice natter and catch up with the ladies....

Got the cat to the vets last week.  He was very helpful, scanned her microchip, and offered a bit of advice about the move.  Passed the microchip details on to Worthing Cat Welfare Trust, and they have already sorted out changing her microchip to our address.  Thanks Geoff!

Finally had the boy hepatitis B jabs done last week.  They were really good, and didn't cry.  Next one is 12th September....

My residential school assignment is done, just need to print it when I come home.  Got my results for my last psychology assignment.  I am happy to say, with one assignment to go, that I have already passed the continuous assesment part, just need to ace the exam.  That would be my first exam in the States then on the 16th October.....

We have officially booked our leaving do for the 15th September.  Dropped a bit of a clanger though, as it is the Goodwood Revival that weekend!  Realy looking forward to it, hopefully lots of people will come to say good bye and enjoy a few drinks with us.

We are off on our look and see on Saturday.  It has come around soooooo quickly.  We are nearly all packed.  Seems strange to be packing everything into closed bags, I am so used to just flinging things into the car, and unloading them at the other end.  We are pretty much done, just need to add some things tomorrow night.  We need to be up about 5am on Saturday morning, so we are going to wake up, pack the car, put the boys in the car in their pyjamas, and hope they keep sleeping most of the way to the airport!!!  It is exciting, yet slightly nerve wracking at the same time.  How are the boys going to be content on a plane for 8 hours, especially Seb!!!!

The provisional house list arrived in Pauls inbox last night at about 9.45pm.  Cue staying up late, and drinking too much whilst "researching" the list.  There are 3 that look good, one is particularly good, just need to check the garden.  I am very excited!!!!  Have 3 preschools to look at next week, Oli has a test to do, a school visit, we need to go to the bank, Paul has to have a meeting at BMW, there is so much on.  We are going out for lunch on Sunday with some of Pauls work collegues who have recently moved out there.  Really looking forward to having an insiders view BEFORE we do anything official.

Tomorrow might drag, I hope not.  We have a Netmums picnic, if the weather holds, so that will help the time pass.  I will bath the boys in the morning all ready to go, then Picnic, then dinner, then bed for boys, Zumba for me (my 3rd one this week, I love it!!!!), finish off packing, and off we go.....

Will try and post from the stated, depends on internet connection.  We have so much to learn....

Much Love xxxxx
