koala boxes

well. it just got real. today these 50 boxes got dropped off to our house, ready to fill with our things and move to the new house next weekend. i am so in love with this idea and i seriously wonder how no one has ever thought of it sooner... koala boxes is a local company here in perth, who deliver your chosen quantity of 70l plastic boxes with self locking lids, along with labels and a trolley to your house, you pack them, move them and then a week or two later they collect them from your new house. 

it's a win win! we don't have to look for empty cardboard boxes, these don't squash or go out of shape, they are stackable, it doesn't matter if they get wet... and best of all, i don't have to get rid of them afterwards. because someone is going to come and take them away!

so i started by packing the most important things first haha ♥

it's on! one week to go!

packing up

ahem. guess what? i'm in brisbane! 

yep. that's right. the kendall family needed help to get this house of theirs empty and leave the state, so i am here to help. it was all up in the air whether i would go or not, but all of a sudden, there was flights being booked, a bag being packed and joseph and i are here for probably the next two weeks. we'll see what happens...

it's amazing how much you can accumulate over the years, it's not my house, so obviously i don't have a sentimental attachment to things and it is much easier for me to say, okay that can go... i just hope i am being a help and not a hindrance haha.

i am also amazed at how much you can get done quickly though, if you really need to. we are selling things right, left and centre on gumtree. people are coming and going, waving their cash and things are going well. i just hope we can get it all done, and in time. we have a deadline and we are all just praying we can do this. fingers crossed,
