So much stress in moving house!

I was up early this morning as I wanted to get my hair dyed before we had our meeting with the estate agent. I managed to get it finished and three loads of washing out on the line and the dog walked all before 9.30.

The consultant's secretary left me a message to ask if I could make 9.15 tomorrow instead of 11.45. I can but it does mean missing my class.

I met Jon at the office and we met the Principal of the agents who is a very nice man and is blind. He asked us to explain our story to him which we did and Sue and her husband Gary were looking very nervous. I wonder if she was worried we might mention that she offered her daughter's house to us?? Jon told the Principal that we had been put under undue pressure and when Gary, Sue's husband, asked by who Jon told him Sue and she didn't even try to defend herself. Anyway the long and the short of it is we told them we would like to be released from the lease on 14 November and we would not take it further. I think they were relieved that is all we wanted as we were within our rights to get compensation from them and Seleena but that is not what we wanted at all. We just want to move out and get on with enjoying our life here.

Jon and I left and they told us they would contact Seleena and I think both Sue and Gary might have been in for a few words from the Principal. I just hope lessons have been learned from it all.

We went for coffee and a chat before Jon went back to work and I went into Tauranga to register five of us for the Breast Cancer walk on Wednesday. I collected some books from a house on my way back.

I got back and sorted more things out. I am taking everything downstairs and will pack it down there. The cupboards are looking empty. I heated two tins of soup for lunch today as it will be two tins less to move. Why do you need soup on a hot day? Jon asked!!!

I went over to the book rooms later and there are so many books there now and more coming in. I think they need to make a plan of the categories as it is a little chaotic there at the moment. It did look better when we had finished though.

I got back and got stuck in to my ironing and all the washing I had brought in from the line.

Jon and Heather came home and I cooked dinner and carried on with more ironing till bedtime.

WEATHER

Long sunny spells and 21 degrees.
