Good morning Diary and MSE friends, :hello:
Am beginning to panic - have far too much still to do; packing, cleaning, photographing the rest of the house (Tenant is getting a photographic inventory as that's quicker than writing a detailed description of each room).
Oh and both little map readers are winging their way towards me - hope I'm still here when the second arrives so I can send it straight back as per instructions from the kindly American! (*Must remember to keep an eye on the CC a/c to make sure that the second payment is refunded as promised).
As usual I've woken up with a thick head, and the guts are beginning to object to my "empty the fridge/freezer diet" - just what I need before setting out on a long journey!0 -

F@t? ..Cuddly, surely...Thanks for the reassurance re the on-line merchandiser - especially as the second machine has been charged at their full price - so it will be a relief when that's gone back and the money has been refunded!

Hello Diary,
In real panic mode today. Made the mistake of letting DS cook last night - all my good work in the kitchen is undone; now looks like a hoard of teenagers have been home alone for a month! :mad:
Plus the relative who joined us for a farewell dinner was not helpful as he'd promised he'd be.. so really it was time wasted as we'd already said goodbye last week.
Oh well.
Shouldn't be here now, just waiting & hoping someone is going to answer their 'phone..
They didn't.
Right, back to my boxes!0 -
My OH down loaded something onto his phone that is a voice map route finder thing - we hate it and use it only if we have to! Does have facility to change condescending female voice to something else - we often have it on 'surfer dude' which is really quite comical................:)Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi

'Morning Diary and MSE friends, :hello:
This will be my last regular entry for a while - unless I happen to check into a hotel with free wifi or my mobile dongle still works when I get to the other side.
Both satnavs arrived in the same box, but one went straight back as the nice delivery-man waited until I'd opened it to check,fingers crossed that the second payment doesn't go through. Have no idea whether it'll work - why oh why don't they supply a sensible manual for dummies with these things? As it is I'm travelling with a list of postcodes because I can't see how to save routes to the memory, and I don't get the "talk to it" function at all.
Yes, dinner the other night was great - but DS put the washer on "rinse" so all the crockery had to go through again <sigh> am telling myself at least I'm not stood there doing it by hand.
Right, back to the packing - Not-so-Clever Dog is sabotaging me by lying like a princess on top of the pile of bedding- not for long, Madam!
Please think safe driving thoughts for me - at least I'm getting off before the snow arrives!0 -
Aaaawwwww
Please come back again soon!! Will miss you and daft dogs!!!
Good luck with the driving - I know you'll be fine!!
Looking forward to an update when you get settled!!!!
*hug*
