So we are busy packing up everything (and yes there is a lot) as we are moving on friday...decided that we would pay movers, they were cheaper than a lot of others so hopefully they will be okay and take care of everything...we are only moving like 25 minutes from where we live now...hubby still isnt sure if he wants them to move his tools or not so we will see how we go (he is fussy about his tools and who touches them) and on saturday my daughter does her first IVf transfer. then on tuesday hubby has his last needle in his eye so it is going to be a very busy week for us...the only day it isnt suppose to rain is friday when we move so fingers crossed it doesnt...our cats will go into care at the vets just for the day and the dog will stay with me at the old house for the day while they pack and I will clean and when they are done hubby and daughter will be at other house to supervise the unpacking...not sure if they will need to do 1 or 2 loads...fingers crossed it is a smooth transition...not happy about the extta $70pw increase in rent for a smaller house...but that is life we will save mone as well as we are walking distance to everything we use!!

So we will be moving on the 27 sept...looking forward to it...but also not...love moving and getting to start over but hate the moving of boxes etc...so we have hired a company to move all of our "big stuff" which is also the heavy stuff as we just can't do it anymore....and we will rent a truck and do the rest ourselves...will be tough on me as hubby can't really do much and my daughter is getting ready for ivf that week as well...so I will be doing a majority of it as will my step son....people ask why we dont just get movers to do it...simple fact it will cost between %5-6,000...yes that is right and I'm just not willing to pay that...but we will get it done. We already have a bunched packed and I have started to clean as well so not that much to really do when we move except a general clean and the garden (general tidy as we do keep it up pretty well)...won't have to do the kitchen as they are renovating it....hence the reason we have to move.

BUT..we are moving back to our old neighbourhood...we still shop down there (25 min drive) our docs are there etc so when we move we will be in walking distance to everything, including the beach (we are in this house as well), so we will get more exercise and also save on gas (petrol)

I have already done my budget to add in the extra rent for the rest of this year actually put it $20pw more than it actually is but that is ok...and have also done budget for 2025....all bills are paid but not paying on debt till we are moved and settled then will start knocking them out...so where I have actually added money to the petrol/groceries amounts per month I may be able to reduce them a bit so that will go into savings which we will be starting when we move again...back at the beginning with everything but we will get there
