Still can’t believe we’re in our new place. Seems too good to be true. I keep getting this underlying feeling that something bad is going to happen but I’m sure it won’t. After months of depression it feels good to feel happy about something.

Our new lounge suite got delivered yesterday. It took ages to unpack it. There was so much wrapping and polystyrene inside I’ve never seen anything like it. There’s bits of polystyrene balls all over my lounge that have stuck to everything. I have bugger all idea where on earth my vacuum cleaner is right now.

Yesterday I went to my old place to tidy up with my partner. The mess on the floor once they moved the washing machine and fridge out omgggggg. I can say those were 2 appliances I had never moved and it shows. I’m going back to my old place today with my partner to do one final clean. We still have to clean out my daughters bathroom. She left the place in such a mess. I was literally on my hands and knees scrubbing her floors and walls. Her walls are wrecked from posters she used to hang up. We’re prepared to not get our bond deposit back because we think that the landlord will want to repaint her walls. We’re also worried about scratch marks from the dogs in one of the lounges on the wooden floors. He may want to repolish the surface. But it was already quite scratched when we moved in but our dogs made it worse.

My new garage is packed with moving boxes. I haven’t even started unpacking a single box. I am going to try do my sons clothes today because he’s at kindergarten tomorrow so I’ll have to find him something suitable to wear. I’ve got 2 bags of my own clothes with a few outfits I know I can wear over the next few days. But I’ve been packing since December. This is going to take ages to unpack. Fortunately we have 2 garages. Previous owners were car enthusiasts so we’ve got the space to store the boxes, for now. I’ll make a slow start unpacking. I don’t feel in a particular rush. We’ve been eating off paper plates and microwave meals the last 2 nights because I haven’t figured out how I want to arrange my kitchen which is a lot smaller than I had realised so I’m going to have to pack smarter.
