Manic Monday

Shh I am not supposed to be on here.
I just ducked in quickly to say packing is well underway, hopefully tomorrow we will leave.
DH changed Real Estate agents last week after another no show for the ''OPEN house" Saturday week ago. It seemed they were losing interest. DH showed two families through our house that day. The new agents seem to be more active in print advertising too.

Today we are packing amidst trying to have the house immaculate for photos after lunch.

I have two dozen things on my TO DO list , which will become my 'TA DA' list if I manage to cross off everything.

I need to organise a roster for our army of extended family to check in on our 18yr ; to make sure he leaves the house clean too...miracles might happen ??
The boys are so excited but have no idea I think of what we are about to embark upon ...it is only 4000km to Perth.
I am so grateful for my i devices and internet access so I won't really be any further away from you than before. I will be a lot closer to some of you though.
I been reliably told there are several iPad apps that help organise your entire life into lists, complete with a priorities rank and alarms to remind you !.
Pity is, it can't actually do the things on my list.
I usually accomplish most of the things on the list eventually , rarely have I’ve completed every item on a single list before carrying over many a few unfinished items onto a new list.
I just need to be more reasonable with the time constraints I set myself...except for today - it's imperative I get off this chair immediately ...the boss has returned.

I hate to-do lists. I need them, of course. But they haunt me,lol! It's like they snigger at me, knowing I'm not ever going to get a "ta-da!" list!

Good luck!

Good luck!! It's a huge deal but well worth the clean out, tidy up & shift, i love moving. Next move will be our last for a long time, yippee. Considering our 4th will be 9 years old then, i can not tell you the amazing amount of things we can give away. Love Posie
Sounds like you're going to be busy Trish! I've never been great at turning a to-do list into a ta-da list! I wish you every organisational bit of luck to complete your's.

You're a busy busy lady! Can't wait to hear all of your adventures!
I am great at making lists, but equally great at getting distracted and forgetting that the list is even in place. Good luck! Hope you get some more interest on your house too.
Best of luck Trish, what an adventure!
Ta-da lists are so much better than to-do lists :) Good luck! I can't wait to hear more about your road trip! x

Lucky I dont own an 'i' anything - it would be screaming alarms at me for stuff I haven't completed! It is nice to be able to tick a box or put a line thru something, good luck with the move Trish!
We did the Perth to Melbourne trek at the end of 2009. I was DREADING IT with the 4 boys - 3000kms with a 2, 3, 5 and 6 year old. It went surprisingly better than expected thanks to portable DVD players and those Etch-a-Sketch thingies. I would draw each of them a truck, a car, a ute and a caravan and they would draw a point every time we saw one. Kept them entertained for hours!

I am wishing you good luck with the photos of the house and I hope everything turns out well. My to-do liste never seems to end either!
I'm a compulsive to do list writer- unfortunatly I spend more time writing the lists than crossing off the items! 4000kms, wow that does sound far.... Happy packing!

Wow! you are off on an adventure and going to be living life full steam it seems. Glad we can keep updated on what you are up to and wish you all the best with your trek. That sure is a long way! Safe travels my friend. N x

I used to have to-do lists, but each time my to-do list doesn't get ticked off, I get frustrated, then depressed. So now my to-do lists are just in my head. Whatever that I can manage to do on the day. Meanwhile...enjoy your trip! :) Would be fun....4000kms....
Ta-da sounds so much more exciting then To-do. ;)

4000km... wow.. Enjoy your trip!

Looking forward to hearing about your adventure. xx
