Procrastinated a bit long on it but finally made an inquiry re: movers. Have one friend locked in to help with some big stuff on Thursday - was a bit touch and go as her own housing situation was looking precarious but thankfully she got the news today that she has some breathing space and she can take my plants (and any junk that I can't get rid of on FBM). Another friend is locked in to help me with the main move on Saturday.

If I can get the movers booked by end of tomorrow for next Monday, I'll be feeling very confident about being on track to clean everything up and hand back the keys next Wednesday. So glad that the moving site lets me add extra items up to 24hrs in advance, less stress about generating more heavy boxes than anticipated. I've got to keep reminding myself that I got this.

Okay! Time to use up this jar of banana blossoms for dinner... then wind down before a 7:30am start tomorrow

You’re amazing - so on top of all this. I’ve moved a lot in the past and have faffed around like nobody business with it

Man, my house looks barely packed and there's gonna be a lot of last minute shit... but thank you! I've had to try and organise as much as I can ahead of time because otherwise my stress would be through the roof. I'm definitely faffing around a lot in between. No packing tonight or the next two nights I don't think.
