I just got a phone call from the apartment manager in the little town. He says they may have an apartment for me soon, and gave me instructions on how to schedule my move-out date here with my move-in date there. It looks like I should start typing up my move-out notice to turn in to the management here. I suddenly started to think about just ordering an air mattress to be sent here, and finding someone to come and take away my old mattress and sofa. They are not in any shape to donate to our thrift store or any new residents but apparently I can't just leave them here as I'd hoped (paying the maintenance men to take them out of my apartment to the trash room).
I looked at the KittenCat and thought that all I really want to do is crate her, pack my clothes and favorite books, and book an Uber car to take us all to the new place. Forget everything else. Unfortunately, I have files, lamps, household linens and kitchenware, all of which I will need in the new place ... But none of them are treasures I can't do without.

Sounds as though it is all proceeding nicely @SaskiaKC

My girls are not allowed in our bedroom due to Mr PM’s asthma. He is ok as long as he doesn't touch them, then he has to wash his hands before he touches his face otherwise streaming eyes. When my friend had her dog and stayed with us her dog slept on her bed which I was never happy about that either. Not citicising anyone bcause we all make our own house rules.

I wouldn't have done what your friend did @PenguinMum that's not respectful.
Although I let Meg (my hearing dog) sleep on my own bed at home, if I slept in someone else's house, I took a foldable crate with me, and she had to sleep in there for the night.

That happened to me re my sofa. I sat on it at the store and it seemed fine, i was comfortable, back was high enough to support my neck, seat was not too deep for my short(ish) legs and my feet could reach the floor, except at home they didn't. Reach the floor that is, I then realized they mustn't have attached the feet in the shop so at home, sofa was 2/3 inches higher. For someone whose is an ambitious 5ft, those 2/3 inches make a world of difference. No alternative but to lounge rather than sit which I think is a good solution.:)

Lol I am always happy to lounge in the dark months :) accompanied by two very softly lovable felines. Sorry about the sofa ovee the years we have made disappointing sofa decisions. Our current ones are a bit threadbare but still comfy so all is goood.
 
Thought some people may be interested - I was in Ryman's today and they had key fob hand sanitizers. Mind you the amount of sanitizer was miniscule but it being on a key fob I thought it useful if you wanted to carry it with you so I bought a couple cost was £1.99 each,

Good morning/afternoon Saskia and KC. It has been raining the proverbial cats and dogs here also. Its a bit quiet in here today. Anyone seen @DJC3? Hope she and Dennis and all her family are well. @gennepher sorry the hospital appointment didnt go well but I think its a good idea to burrow in and get some rest. I will be under a rug with Daisy very soon. Hope your day goes well Saskia. Any news from the apartment manager?

Thanks for asking PM a few family worries at the moment, Im sure it’ll all be ok in the end. Meanwhile we are all having to muck in and I haven’t had time for the lovely chattiness of this thread - so easy to spend an hour here isn’t it?
I’m trying to remember to post on the no chat fbg thread just so I don’t lose the habit and start slipping.
I’ll be back though and meantime will just dip in and out to check up on you all from time to time.
Hope your day under a rug with Daisy was as relaxing as it sounds b

I hated being messed about with when I was first prescribed hearing aids, and my deafness is relatively mild. I cannot imagine what you must be going through but I can understand why you may desire quietness.

At 5'2" I often have the same problem with the floor not quite touching my feet! :)

Good Morning and 5.7 for me today.

Granddaughter day then her parents, our daughter and SIL for meal tonight. No idea what we will get up to but it's always enjoyable.

In good old Boy Scout fashion, 'Be prepared, do your best' with your day.

All sounds very promising and hope it all goes well for you. I think that I moved over nine times whilst in the military and three times since then. Our current home is the longest that we have ever been in one place, 14 years. Never got any easier but taking a long run at it reduces stress at both ends. One idea to think of, if you start now you can begin a) taking an inventory, separating things to take with you, things to part with, listing things you may need to obtain once that you are there and b) packing a little at a time. Boxes not too big, labelled and contents noted for when you get to your new place. Don’t seal boxes until the day before you move (always something needed at the last possible moment and always in the bottom of a box).

Good morning/evening folks, a Heinz 5.7 for me today, after a rather spicy sausage casserole last night, apparently the pepper mill wouldn't work so my wife used chilli flakes instead.
Happy Friday everyone.
