In cases like this, it would be so reassuring to have a human being we could shake hands with taking care of the essentials for us. <br />And you're so right -- unpacking will be so much more fun!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-51980405701704677082016-09-05T10:16:20.302-07:002016-09-05T10:16:20.302-07:00Thanks!Thanks!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-18029334905180424192016-09-05T10:16:11.686-07:002016-09-05T10:16:11.686-07:00Thanks, Rosie.

So many opportunities now you all live closer to each other. I can picture Pater cycling speedily to enable the financial side of your apartment purchase to be finalised. Phew!
