Had son and d-i-law here they are going to Europe for 7 weeks on sunday, so have been shifting all their stuff, they have a lockup which is almost full now. All their precious stuff has come here, 1 room full so far and they are about to start on another. He has drums, guitars, recording stuff playstation wii etc etc They just put their gorgeous topiary plants on verandah (they used them at wedding ) they look great on verandah hehe son said to wife hmm we may not get those back lol Shifting is the worst thing aye you dont realise how much stuff you have.
We are all going to miss them soooo much 7 weeks long time :( we see them everyday and son works with girls and hubby so no one wants them to go. We realise its fantastic trip and hes always wanted to see Rome, has promised heaps emails and phonecalls.He has drawn me out a map with each place they are going to and for how long - awww

Twilight yes i can hide the fabric aye hehe dont think it will work tho hahaha Ooooooh 3 boxes wow christmas has come early at your house :)
