Our shipping container and the rental furniture packers were due to arrive today at 10am, so at 8:30am, after dropping the kids at school, the guys from Crown Relocations arrived and started to prepare the house, putting down floor protection and moving our rental furniture out of the way into the garage. Then I get a call from Rockenbaugh, Evan has a temperature, can I go and get him? Perfect. We got home just before the shipping container and rental furniture packers arrived.

| Right, where do we start? |

| Every room looks like this. |
 |
| And now the rental furniture van is here too. |

| My excitement for having our stuff is waning. |
It was just as exhausting to do this in reverse. Once all the boxes were in the house, the relocation guys spent most of the day unwrapping and building the furniture, then doing their version of unpacking the boxes, which was to empty them and leave the stuff in a heap or on top of the furniture. The kitchen boxes were a nightmare, each glass and plate wrapped in layer upon layer of paper, I was practically refilling each box with waste paper as I emptied them. There is stuff everywhere but at least we have a huge walk-in loft to just shove things away for now, although I did question whether we really needed it at all as I've only really missed a few things. One more day tomorrow with the unpackers and hopefully it'll start to look a bit more like home. And we have this from our lovely neighbours to keep us going.
