Packing up and moving on

The packers arrive tomorrow morning. Everything gets boxed and taken away. It remains to be seen how the children will react. We'll have a week of living in an almost barren house - the kids have their beds, at least, but that's about it. We shall be living off take-away menus and plastic mugs. Oh my God - I'll have to pack away the espresso machine! That's it - we're staying!
