The garage sale went well, got  rid of a lot of things that were good to have had, but not needed.Thanks to Mum & Alan for helping out, it was a busy few hours.
 Will undoubtedly need to replace some of it when we get  back, if we get back........ Though it will be more a matter of accruing stuff again. I don't know whether you actually go looking for a lot of these things, it comes to you..There's still the odd thing on trade me to sell but we now have possessions down to a level that we can probably store them in our container and shed.

We put the CRV down the drive for sale on Sunday and was sold in 3 hours, always a worry when that happens!! Was it too cheap, did we get lucky?? Any way it needed new sway bar bushes and is booked in for Thurs so will keep it to the weekend, then Warwick our friendly NZ Rentacar man will help us out for the last 9 days.Caught up with W last week at 623 (local eatery) after his trip to UK and bits of Europe with Ros for 8 weeks or so.Sounded busy but enjoyed.
Still have fence to do, some rats and mice and Alan's sink bench before we can go but will be manageable.
Sheryls boss Brodie is turning up on Saturday to help with the rest of the big stuff, fridge ,wall unit, lounge suite etc. Next week will be mostly at home sorting the last minute things out, I know there is a window sill to paint on  the laundry..
