One more week...

One more week and we move into the house that we (that's a royal we, because Chris hasn't actually seen it yet) found.  We move in next Thursday and the cats fly up from Sydney to join us on Saturday!!  Phew... nothing like flying by the seat of your pants eh? ;)
Our shipment is on this boat and should be arriving in Brisbane docks tomorrow!!  I think my container is that pretty blue one near the stern... no, just kidding, haven't a kookin' clue which one it is... I just hope it had a good voyage!!  So all being well and going to schedule it should be released from customs ready for when we get the keys for the house... best laid plans of mouse and men... ;)
So what have I been doing with myself for 3 weeks you ask? LOL  I have viewed houses, bought the beds and other furniture ready for delivery to the new house, so we have something to sleep on when we move in... this weekend is white goods shopping... fridge/freezer, tumble dryer etc...
This is the house... it is in Tarragindi... a suburb of Brisbane.









And the real bonus is that the owner has two cats of his own and doesn't have a problem with my two!! The house is cat proof!  It has screens on all the windows and doors and even has an outside run area which is netted in on all sides and roof so they will be able to go outside and sunbathe.  How brilliant is that? I am really looking forward to being in my own place with my own things... and getting it sorted out and then being able to do the scraproom!!  Yay!

    What a fab house - all that lovely outside space and SUNSHINE LOL (beginning to forget what that's like).

    Look forward to seeing pics once it has had the 'Annette' touch.

    I have commented a few times. I look like a stalker. :) I keep changing my Google ID. I had a lot of transitions in my life lately that were all good but caused upheavals.

    I love all the pics. When you showed the cargo ship I thought that was all your things, lol. Can't wait to see your fur kids again. I am so fond of them. I love when you post pics. I loved the pics of your new home. I just bought a new home (cause of upheaval). I am living for design pics.

    I want your palm trees. I SO LOVE palm trees and am very envious that you have them in your front yard, back yard, side yard, poking through your deck, and even showing out your bath. How awesome is THAT?

    Of course, the fact it's cat friendly is pretty awesome, too!!

    Your new house looks very....white! I can't wait to see it once you have moved in and personalise it. I hope you are all very happy in it and I hope its near a scrap shop? Do they have many scrap shops in Australia? Good luck with the move.

    I keep waiting for you to visit. I opened your gift yesterday at the restaurant. Had to laugh, because it was very, very well decorated and covered (grin).

    Hope you are settling in and life is good for you.
    There's a tiny little gift to send out to you if you will email me your new address, or put a comment on my blog and I promise I will not publish it.
    Lots of love Jo x

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment, it is truly appreciated - sort of confirms that it is more than my Mum and husband that read this thing! :)
