    feeling ok-ish this morning...

    we've started on some packing, whats junk, whats going to charity, whats being stored etc..... feels good to make a start, although I think DH is peeved that I've sat down after 30 minutes of very light packing LOL. Already got 3 bags ready for charity though, next step will be getting !!!!!! in gear to actually take it!

    still keep looking at photos from yesterday as well..... really hasnt sunk in yet i've realised....

    got a few weeks before that starts yet.....

    spoke to my boss earlier on. Theyre on holiday this week so am going up there friday to collect my final cheque which is unlikely to be much of anything given all my time off, but hey better than a slap in the face!

    just cooking up some dinner of potatoes, sweet potatoes, roast parsnips and fish of some sort, got 3 to choose from and cant decide.... grrr decision decisions.....
