The Move

The big move mostly went off without a hitch. Big big thanks to the helpers! Yay for Martin, Sharelle and Pa. Getting things to the third floor without a lift was an experience that I never want again, We are definitely paying someone to do it next time!! We were all kind of hoping that the bed didnt fit through the stairwell so we could work out our plan of hoisting it up to our apartment with a complex system of ropes and pulleys (or stealing the construction workers cherry picker for a few hours!).
Our flatmate went a bit mad the week before we moved and decided to go against his word and not pay back all of the bond money until we had moved out "in case anything happened the weekend we moved out". We have been living with this guy for at least a year and a half (Adam for 2 years), we know each others families, we go to each others birthday dinners, we bought household things together it was basically a relationship with another couple! So I "calmly" pointed this out to him that evening telling him that I was upset about the lack of trust etc etc etc. Cutting a long story short we did end up getting all the money back the next day but it has completely ruined the friendship for now. I may get over that bridge in a while but not yet.
Work is getting busy again with the new season orders being processed and mountains of fabric turning up for testing so heads down, bum up at the moment. Still "patiently" waiting on immigration to let us know what (or where) our future is. No other news at the moment.
Big HELLO to all of you out there especially Adams family on the other side of the world. Hope you are all keeping well and the weather is getting warmer for you. Lots of love from us both.
