WOW time sure flies when you're having...fun?? Yes...it is fun but also very stressful
Stressful because waiting for people to pick up stuff they bought from me takes so much precious time that can be used more resourceful lol.
I could be working in my attic....going through stuff that needs to go .... putting it all in boxes to go to the dump later this week.
ALL my furniture will be gone within an hour today....even my sofa! I still have my bed though  so can still sleep. But my sofa, coffeetable, fridge, freezer, micro, dresser and chair will all be gone today. On the one hand yippee but on the other....I will be camping in my house for the next two plus weeks AH well, all for a good cause.
Today I have sent in my application for the visa I need so that is taken care of as well, and this past Saturday I booked my flight and got the e-ticket....I will leave on March 2nd and arrive on March 3rd.
March 1 I will be leaving this village for good to spend my last day and night here in the Netherlands with a sister of my BFF. She (the sister) lives in Amsterdam so a good reason to visit her, lol. She is such a sweet women, years older than BFF and I but so sweet. I have known her *all my life* as well, same as BFF ofcourse (51 yrs this year WOW!!)
And then on March 2...off to the airport and I'll fly away...can't WAIT anymore and so can't brother and brother in law. We are Skyping almost daily, emailing at least 3 times a day now lol. SO much info I need, SO much advice and help brother has for me.......SO HAPPY I got their help. I couldn't do it all on my own.....
Here I am doing it all alone but knowing I have both brother and bro in law as backups there is a lot of help.
Hugs..........

Bev I phoned them this morning and they assured me it will be back within that period (MOSTLY ten days so still on time for me) so I am not worried.
Yes it is nice and warm there already yippee, and these are *winter* temps lol. They do have mosquitoes and I can buy the best repellent there so.....brother always has some anyway.

Well, congrats on your move Marian! I was just talking to my BFF the other day and I was a bit taken aback when she said her ideal vacation would be to go to Thailand and I thought of you visiting your brother last year. Then I come on the forum and find out you have decided to move there! So wonderful that you will now be close to your brother. I am so excited and happy for you!
My best to all,
Mel
