Going live

I wrote the blog's address on my Facebook page, wonder is anyone will notice and come have a look (I sort of hope/believe not!).

I just want to get going now, but we still have three days left at work and a week worth of visiting relatives before our first flight (to Sydney on 12 January).

We are about to move out of Tom and Diane's house (thanks again guys :) just 3 days to go and we are leaving London for one year! Woohoooo!!!

It feels weird...

Once again I have spent the whole day packing boxes, and well, that's it - I am waiting for Gary to get back from work and we are moving out - to our first housesitting stop, Clive's.

I must admit I feel a bit tearful, leaving the flat after living here for over four years. I'm sure I'll get over it pretty quickly though! Probably by tonight when I am out drinking with Kirstie in Cambridge :)

Tough choices to make

Plans are firming up and the moving out date is getting closer and closer. We will both finish work in 4 weeks and 2 days (not that I'm counting!) and spend the first week and a half in January visiting our respective families, before taking our first flight on 12 January 2009 en direction de l'Australie! I can't wait to catch up with Aurélie and Shane over in Sydney.

The flat's now pretty much all empty except for the furniture we're leaving behind. We're thinking of moving into Clive's early next week end, so we'll have to make do with paper plates and plastic glasses and cutlery for a few days.

I have to admit that, although it's a fantastic feeling to pack away your life and streamline your belongings down to a backpack, I am slightly freaking out at the idea of only having 60 litres worth of space for my stuff (by the way is it just me or does it sounds weird that they define space in litres?? Yes, it's probably just me). Gary has made it quite clear there is no way on earth I am taking my hair straighteners anywhere with us.

I'll stop moaning now, as obviously I can think of much worse situations to be in! Like, not having camembert ready available wherever you go... ... ... Doh!
