Thanks @MovingForwards I'm good with the practicals. It's the emotional support, like having someone dress my cut hand or having a chat as I pass their front garden. These things take building over time, but yes I will get there

Thanks @mark55man exactly what I was thinking

Thanks @Forging_Ahead. your experience is what I hope to replicate. Thanks for the good wishes

Thanks @another_casualty, @beanielou and @jwil

So, today I woke up at 4am. Took down a lampshade, packed it and went back to sleep until 7am!
I've been having trouble with getting some shelves down. Tried for a whole hour. Asked my neighbour for a different screwdriver, but he came and took the shelves down in 10 minutes with a whizzy screwdriver

Plants sorted and now in carrier bags so they can be easily moved.
Made a fire of confidential waste.
Several bags of rubbish got rid of.
More packing...there seems no end to it...

I have my decorator coming later to double check the loft as I am missing a few boxes of china...

My soup maker has died!!!!! Had to use the hob...

This is my last post until I emerge on the other side.

Thank you for all the good wishes and support

It's not the same as a face to face chat, but we are all here and happy to natter.

Good luck with the final push, it's all worth it and I hope you pick a new soup maker up in a few days.
