[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 169880, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/LDM, I'm glad you had a great time at the beach. You've come back from holiday refreshed and productive, by the sound of it. Sharon/Wiped, enjoy your down time today. I hope difficult child settles down and stops making life a misery for you. Today was the big move for easy child 2/difficult child 2 and BF2. difficult child 1 was also supposed to take his car down the road to the garage for some work on his shocks. However, we were a bit late getting down there so they didn't order the parts. Next week, they said. THis was good - it meant his car was available to be loaded with stuff and taken to his sister's new flat. BF2 had filled my car yesterday, with boxes. On the way back from the garage with difficult child 1 I saw that some people at our church were having a garage sale. I told easy child 2/difficult child 2, who was very interested. We went down and she bought a hat stand, a book stand, a computer desk, a side table, two CD shelves and a sideboard, all for A$70. While we were there BF2's father arrived with the truck, and began loading the big stuff. He had brought an old fridge, a twin tub washer and a dryer for them. These kids are better set up than husband & I were! I had a meeting to get to, so we all convoyed out. My meeting was only a minute or two away so I was able to stay for most of it then left when the kids were ready to unload my car. They all headed back to our place for another load, then we waved them goodbye just after sunset. Tonight - two less mouths to feed. We ate leftovers. I feel relaxed. I can get some sewing done because I can now get at my sewing machine (it's in the spare room, which tis pair have been occupying). There is a lot of cleaning up to do, which she has promised. I will believe it when I see it. We're hoping they can make this work. And we figure she will learn to appreciate us so much more now, when she learns just how smoothly we helped her run her life. I'm beginning to realise I am old. By Christmas we'll only have difficult child 3 left at home. I need to update my sig... and maybe I need to call easy child and let her know that her baby sister has just left home. Marg [/QUOTE]
