Finding lost treasures amongst the loft.

Having quotes for removals is proving interesting. All this moving home is informing me of a whole new industry and how it works. In this day of recycling there are no tea chests anymore. Its all cardboard boxes and some companies charge you for all the boxes you use and some don't but do they include the charge within their prices? Future quotes will tell. I feel sorry for the actual removal men as it seems they only get paid for the jobs they do and apparently work is slow this year, well with the housing market slowing they are bound to be the knock on effect. An unheard of casualty.

We started properly on the loft yesterday finding old toys and clothes from when the boys were younger. Best find was a scrap book I had made with Chris about Wales. I was about 7 months pregnant with Phil at the time and its funny reading all the entries made at a time of hope for the new baby and still hope for our marriage. Who was to know that years of misery and warring was to follow although of course blessed by our lovely Phil. We also found a little book made by Chris at school about his boby brother whith a little picture of Phil with outstretched armes in a green babygro and a very pink face. Ahhh cute.

Lost wifi connection both here and at work which was both frustrating and a blessing because it gave me time to sort out the airing cupboard.
