plans for the weekend

February 19th, 2009 at 08:06 pm

Well this weekend I have no excuses, I HAVE to pack some stuff and do some proper housework.

We just got a letter saying our lease expires on 16th April, so can we kindly please get out.
We also have an entry notice for the owners to look at the place next sunday (day before we get the keys to our new place) I rang the real estate and they have talked to the owners about us moving out earlier (seeing as we bought the house and get the keys in... 10 days!!!) and that is all fine.
Now we are just trying to decide how much time we need to move. I initially said a month (remember, we have to sand the floors and paint first... otherwise it will NEVER get done). DF said around the same. I went to work yesterday and mentioned it and my boss was like "WHAT!? A MONTH? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? You could do it in a few days!!!" and I was like "yes but we have to do the floors, and clean the old place, and do stuff..."
Anyway, I realised we were making excuses, so we are going to try and do it in 2 1/2 - 3 weeks (hopefully 2 weeks will be enough but I think with both of us working we will need a bit extra) I REALLY want all the bond back so we have to do a proper job cleaning and gardening.

So my plans for this weekend:

[]clean the guest bathroom (still haven't done it...)
[]pack all of my unused jewellery, paperwork etc hanging around my room.
[] pack most of our kitchen stuff except for the basics (should make for some interesting meals)
[] 'aquire' some milk crates from my work to stack DF's plants in (did this last time)
[] pack all the bank paperwork into a box but leave unopened
[] change the sheets on our bed
[] pack linen closet except for a couple of towels
[] begin the massive huge-ass task of weeding the garden (eugh!)
[] give everything a quick tidy over
[] vaccuum the floors
[] tidy the pantry

    It took me 3 days to get our walls sanded, priomed and painted. As well as to have new floors put in and clean the unit. And it was miserable, I don't suggest living where you are working. But once furniture is in...work no longer gets done. You learn to overlook faults that previously bugged you.

    yes, that is our worry. we'll be fine living with the bare essentials for a week or two without unpacking stuff, but once it gets beyond that stage i know i will want to start setting up. i don't want to not do work just because we get lazy or soemthing. DF is also really busy with work at the moment, so I am figuring even though he will have put in about 10 hours at work, the first week will be the one he is most motivated in because it's all 'new' so i am going to try and get as much done in the first week and fingers crossed it's nearly done by then!
