Most of the stuff is now packed up and awaiting shipping, what isn’t packed can be done tomorrow and put in the car. Still can’t believe we’re actually going!!!
Had the going away party (actually multiple parties…), tied up the loose ends as regards banking etc so we’re all ready.
So it’s Rosslare to Cherbourg on Wednesday then driving up the coast of France and Belgium to The Hague on Friday. Will be nice to see some european countryside before we start our lives in The Netherlands.
Fingers crossed everything goes to plan!!!!

So,
It’s my last week in work, bit weird really. What’s left to do ?
1. Confirm date and time with moving company, actually this crowd seem to be really good (as long as they actually pick up out stuff and don’t smash everything) Their Called Aachener International Ltd,
2. Ring Driving Test centre and beg for a cancellation this week, oh, and actually find out where my license has gone. **Done, now to see if i get a date before we go !**
3. Ring up ESB and Bord Gais and give a meter reading, confirm a cut off date.
4. Go into the tax office and fill out forms to claim rent relief and health insurance tax
5. Get the guy whos moving in to meet the landlord.
6. Go and get drunk with various people who were not going to see for a while.
7. Pack everything (oh god)
Hope thats it!

Or lack of as the case may be…
We’ve decided not to go out unless its completely necessary until we go away but I have a feeling we may be taking it to the extreme. We only left the house yesterday to buy dinner paraphenalia and then only because there was nothing edible in the fridge.
And it’s not like we were busy packing all day or anything- it was a day of vegging in front of the telly. Today will be much more productive. On the agenda is cleaning the car at Michael and Breda’s house so that someone will want to buy it and having matching massages to relieve the stress of thinking about doing things……
Wish us luck!!

Hi Everyone !
This is my first post, for those that don’t know, myself (Keith) and my girlfriend (Una) are moving to a place in the Netherlands called The Hague. It will be a big change from Cork, which is in the south of Ireland.
For everyone that does know, we said we’d put up our experiences, pictures and general stuff on the whole debacle. So you can stay in touch and see what the story is even though were not at home anymore.
Its Saturday now and we’ve only a week and a half left,
Going away party next weekend and then flying out on Wednesday !!
ARRRRGGGGGH
