Farewell Big Smoke, Hello Limbo

Saturday went suprisingly well considering the task we had at hand.  We were up at 7am to finish off where we left off on the Friday night.    Dad arrived 9:30am and it was all action stations...  More packing and then extensive cleaning.  A few back breaking box lifts and hey presto the flat is de-Amy-and-Rob-afied and ready for tenants for the Sunday.  You can see it looks a bit sparse but it's bloody clean!!  Probably cleaner than when we were living in it.  Quick easy drive down to Marks Tay just outside Colchester so we could fill up my mum and dad's caravan with 50% of our stuff.  It's like Fort Knox where they store it so it's brilliant.  The other 50% is piled up in a room in mum and dad's house.  All round it's very kind of them to take in our stuff and not use their caravan for 6 months!

So it was back to Colchester, lugging more stuff up stairs.  Then seeing Grandma,  then the little vampires came round (my nephew Tom and neice Livvy).  They were trick or treating.  I totally forgot it was halloween!  THEN, it was off to Sutton, Suffolk for a swanky come dine with me experience in Holly and Dan's new kitchen and dining room.  It was a 3 course meal there and more "BYE!  See you in 6 months" farewells.  Back in bed by 11:30pm in Colchester.  We certainly do pack a lot into a day.
