Chess Removals were here yesterday to pick up all the stuff we're having removed to the States. They took 10 cubic metres, leaving around 75 cubic metres in the house / garage for the other removalists to pack on Monday and remove on Tuesday.
So far we've found some clothing that we didn't intend to go that has. Including one of Donna's jackets that she had taken off and left in the front room. We've also discovered that some soft bags we intended taking baggage in were also in the front room. We've probably got enough other bags to cover this, else it will be back down Fyshwick to buy some more before we go.
Also starting to discover the things that we're supposed to go that are still here, like Olivia's mattress underlay. Nothing major but just what happens when you're trying to do too much in too little time.
The effort it has taken over the past couple of months is starting to look excessive for only a year posting. No doubt we will have similar hassles at the end as well. One that I particularly enjoyed was the 5 page US Customs declaration that turned up in the post on Thursday night which required copies of my passport photo page and my US visa. My passport is currently at the US Embassy in Sydney getting my US visa. Fortunately the removalists didn't require this on Friday but I can fax it next week. Well, I can once I get my passport back and can get to a fax machine ...
Sigh
