Moving Day

Well the morning started real early, 6am Mike and I were up and packing, we still had a few things to pack, the movers were arriving at 8.30 so that gave us a few hours to get things ready.
Well on the dot of 8.30 they guys arrived, and there were amazing, the truck was huge!!!!



By 10.30 the truck was full and we were on our way to the storage unit, hope it all fits!!!

My Final Farewell

Well what a day it had been and by 4.30pm it was time to go down to the boardroom for my final departure. It was all so surreal, it was as if it was for someone else until Paul started the speeches, and then it all go a bit much. Standing there thinking all the things I had done, and the times we had all had, to the point I couldn't remember anything I wanted to say when it was my turn, well I guess that is what happens.

Farewell Lunch

Well I had the biggest day on Wednesday. It was my last day at HNZC, after 14.5 years. And what a day, Thanks to the girls at work I have the best lunch. We went to Wagamama's, all 25 of us. Here are a few photos

Well we had good new today, the property management company has found us some tenants and they move in soon. It is all go here. Just as well we moved all the boxes on the weekend, because we have a whole heap more now!!!! Yes we are moving out on Thursday!!! Things really are moving along. I finish in my job tomorrow after 14.5 years and then the next day we move out of the house, then within a few days I am off to Scotland, how very exciting this all is.

Let the Moving Beginning

Well we have had a fun filled day today, thanks to Mike's Dad, Peter and along with Trev and Roanne we started to moved things out of the house. We started the morning with picking up a van, and then we made for home to get the first load of boxes. Most of the moving was boxes we had already packed and all of my stuff from the sewing room. Trev and Roanne didn't stop all morning, they are my hero's :o)


The Van was great we managed to get so much in, in the end we only had to do 3 loads and the 3rd was only a handful of boxes Mike and I did on our own. One of the best jobs was moving the big 36" TV, all 100kg of it, luckily Trev and Mike were up to this job

By the end of tonight the storage unit still has plenty of room for our furniture, it is amazing how much one can fit in

Exciting News

Well I have managed to get tickets to the Edinburgh Tattoo, I am so excited. I got really good seats on the final night, Saturday the 23rd of August, in section East B, not sure how far back but at least they are pretty much centre, and as it is a Saturday night it will have fireworks and everything :o) The lady on the phone suggested that I wear plenty of layers of clothing and to make sure I have a water proof coat for the rain, sounds like the weather here in Wellington :o)

Surprise!!!

Well thanks to Olive and all my current and ex co-works I had the best farewell last Wednesday night. I had no idea that they had planned a night out, Mike did really well a keeping it a secret. Here are a few photos of the night
