Up hill struggle

Aaarrrgghhhh!



We've only got 8 weeks til we leave Bangor! Having found out a little bit about our future house in Kathmandu we've decided to arrive a little earlier than expected. This will give us time to get basic furniture ~ beds, fridges and cookers etc ~ in time for the kids to head off to school...



We are now officially panicking! We're off to England in 2 weeks to say goodbye to family there and when we return it's a case of packing and storing. Between now and then we've got to lift every single thing in the house and decide whether it's coming to Nepal, being thrown out or stored for 4 years! I think I'd better get to know the guys at Bangor dump!



On the house front - DIY central seems to be OK. The roof is in better shape and the pointing is nearly finished... only the shower, front door and garden to sort out!



The commissioning service (15th June) is shaping up - it'll be an informal affair at the 11.30am service - hopefully with a Nepali themed lunch after. Then the formal commissioning service in the evening - don your white collars and robes!



OK, I'm now off to look for some blue barrels - you've no idea how hard it is to source these guys! Especially when we're asking for them for free!
