Well, our transformation from city folks to country bumpkins has officially started. We've already pack lots of boxes, of course, but as of today neither Kelly or I are employed in Brisbane. Woo hoo. I was given pizza, chocolate-caramel slice and a gift voucher from the people at my work (I have to say that -- they may be reading :) ). I used the voucher to pay for half a cot. Problem was, we (the K-Mart warehouse guy and I) couldn't get it into the car. It would have fitted into the boot if only we could've cut a bit out of the back of the car. And it was about 10cm too long to fit in the back seat. Thankfully one of the Reps from work offered his services (and more importantly, the services of his ute) and delivered the cot for us. Thanks Phil.
And it's actually best not to mention the boxes. They're everywhere. My parents took a trailer load of them up to their place a couple of weeks ago but we've packed some more and they are filling wardrobes and half the lounge room and the hallway and now there's a cot in a box as well. Kelly is going crazy. But we are almost done.
We've hired a truck which we'll be filling on Sunday (with some helpers). Then on Monday, it's off to our new home. And then on Tuesday, for me at least, it's back to Brisbane to return the truck. And then back to Nanango. And then on Friday, it's back to Brisbane so we can paint. Oh, it's nice to have a holiday every now and then, isn't it? it will be worth it though. Nanango will be great and painting will help get better tenants for the unit. One of the girls (staff, not children) from Kel's (old) work may be renting, which would be nice.
The unit (and the job which the girl took after going away for a while) was mentioned at the leave Taking Party the staff organised for Kel last weekend. It was a very informal thing that involved a BBQ, dominoes, Playstation and general chatting, but was really nice. And there was a present filled with lots of baby stuff which was nice as well.
I think that's all from me. We will post again from Nanango, hopefully, with pictures of our crap spread around everywhere.
