Who knew the preparations would be as energy-sapping??
I suppose having to pack most of the entire contents of a house into an attic (mercifully half -floored (the attic, not me, although it would have helped)) and tramping up several thousands of steps.. carpeted and ladder-like, would take it out of anyone. It's just that looking around the rooms of my house, it didn't really seem like I possessed ALL that much stuff... hmmmmm the shopaholic in me is suddenly slouched across the bar sipping a cosmo, while tutting and guffawing at the same time.
Anyway, 2 hangovers, endless bowls of coco pops, salt n vinegar snack a jacks and a couple of episodes of big brother later, i turned the key in the door and a tear, which was hiding right behind the eyeball, started edging its way forward... 'can't believe this is it!!!!!' yippee and boohoo all at once... strange business.
All emotional attachment was to be quashed about 15 minutes later, when my bigger, on-loan-from-the-parents car decided to shed a tear too, but in the form of a burst pipe. What i thought was smoke on the motorway turned into vapour in the car park... all resolved by the wonderful guys in ADF Motors in Maynooth. Legends, can't say it enough times.
Now the car is parked back in the folks' driveway and i am parked on the couch with a well deserved glass of Monastier... mmmmmmm.
2 Days to go......
