As some of you know it is only a week until I actually move out, and as you can imagine life is emotional. On Tuesday it became very strange.
My removal company had asked last week if they could start the packing this week. A week earlier than originally booked, and after a little bit of thought I said yes. Why, well I decided that being flexible and getting ahead of schedule would bring benefits. Firstly it would help ensure the packing service is of the highest quality and that there would be no risk of them being rushed. I could also see an added bonus for me. I have found since Robert died that little steps are the best steps as they help ensure I can continue to slowly rebuild my resilience. There’s still a long way to go with the resilience reservoir but it is getting easier. So packing early would mean I wouldn’t have to cope with two full on days of packing, moving and leaving.
So earlier this week, Tuesday morning to be exact, they arrived. After I had shown them around the house we agreed they’d pack up the two main reception rooms and one of the bedrooms. They did a great job, and it was definitely the right decision in terms of packing. However I am thankful that I had arranged to go out with friends in the evening and also that I can close the doors on two of these rooms in the interim. As they did more than simply packing the boxes and furniture; they also took it all!

Wow! that must feel strange, but looking at the positive side it shows they are efficient, and as you say it relieves a bit of the stress at the end of the process. I agree with Margaret, get out and about if you can!

Empty houses, especially empty houses you’ve loved are not great places to be. Get out and about as much as you can, I think!
