10 things I can't wait to get out of our container
1. My left, brown flip flop. Brought one with me, the other got packed.
2. My steamer. Having survived with two saucepans for the last 6 weeks, I can't wait to get my saucepans and steamer
3. Ironing board. I have been ironing on the work top so v. excited about the arrival of my big board!
4. Bedside Cabinets. Currently Alex's is a is an upturned wine box and mine is a leaf blower box
5. A decent Potato masher and peeler.
6. Our sofa and surround sound tv and dvd system. We are currently have a sofa bed, purchased from a Charity shop and a tv with bad sound from someone who was moving to Tasmania.
7. Our dining room table and chairs
8. Pictures. Can't wait to get the place personalised with our pictures from home.
9. Feather pillows
10. Big glasses (not to look through but to have a generous G&T's in!)
Things we shouldn't have brought with us
1. Alex's raincoat
2. Ali's raincoat
3. Madeleine's raincoat
4. Harveys raincoat
5. Electric toothbrushes
6. Most of my make up
7. Alex's suits
8. CD walkmans
9. My flute
10. An inflateable whale
A car boot is inevitable... I am sure lots of stuff we unpack tomorrow we will ask ourselves why we packed it in the first place!!
Of course I will get my address book which was accidently packed and put in the container, but we have managed to survive on very little and not fall out which is great, so anything extra is now a bonus!
Off to bed to get an early night as have to empty the house in the morning of borrowed stuff before we can fill it up again! Night Night!

Hi Ali
Welcome to Australia I have just stumbled upon your blog. I hope you enjoy living in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland as much as I do.
JUST CAUGHT UP ON THIS POST - HOPE ALL THE TREASURES HAVE BEEN FOUND!! AND MORE BESIDES!! HOW COME YOU DON'T NEED THE RAINCOATS? OR IS IT THAT YOU'VE ALREADY HAD TO BUY AUSSIE MACS AS A NECCESSITY? LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PICTURES OF ALL YOUR PERSONAL STUFF IN PLACE AND LOOKING MORE LIKE "HOME"
LOVE MARGARET X
