Moving to Zita Street

The move from Cezanne has been an a “killer” .. we started more than a month b4 the removalists came for the white goods and big items like beds/furniture etc.

More garage crap

I have been packing.. 

boxing..throwing.. donating.. and it was never ending!

For weeks we have been moving boxes over to Zita but it was never ending!  Luckily I had help as I just could not do it anymore on my own and roped in a few friends for the extra muscles!!!

The amount of junk we have accumulated is unbelievable and when the moving got serious… it was like as if a tornado has hit the house… crap of every kind imaginable was everywhere and mess is just a lame word!!!

The double garage was practically all mine to clear out!!! 

I had JL and the Red Nose come to help me cart away stuff that could come in useful for others in need and hope they find more use for them than for it to sit in the garage for years left not used!! 

In hindsight, less is best!  It was hard to let go at first as most big items had sentimental value… eg: my mom’s Singer sewing machine!  I had to let it go reluctantly and it’s best not to ask JL where it went!?!  lol

Zita is a brand new smacking home and all is nice but it lacks storage space… plus the yard is small so there is hardly space to erect a shed to fit all my belongings!  (So Charli has more space to do her business!).

Officially, we exited Cezanne on the 13/1 but we kind of moved over to Zita on the 23/12… so I managed to cook my lst Xmas Eve dinner at Zita!


The girls love Zita… I got the best room in the house downstairs and we are all settling in but boxes and stuff are still all over along the long corridor .. looks like they will be sitting there for a while b4 they clear it.. when they can find a “new home” to store them!!! lol

It has been more than a month now at Zita but we are still waiting patiently for the curtains/fly screens and plantation shutters to completely dress up the home.

I guess it is exciting moving to a new area… new shopping places.. restaurants etc till we get adjusted to this new environment… happy days!
