Man that car looks like it could do with a good going over with Cif and some baby wipes. While we continue our gargantuan task of clearing the inside of this house in time for the move, outside we have gun-toting criminals threatening baldy men for their briefcases.
They are filming an episode of 'Ein Starkes Team', a ZDF programme that nobody I know watches. My neighbours think it's Tatort, which would be a much more exciting event, but it's not. They just haven't bothered reading the notice posted downstairs in our lobby too carefully. The letter has had us warned for over a week to prepare our nerves for a morning of police action and not to worry too much if when leaving the building we are confronted by flashing police lights and there are guns going off left right and centre. My neighbours would probably be more alarmed by the sight of such an old Saab...
I'm reading to see how things are going, because we also are making a move. But the decision was made last week and now we are waiting to see when (!!!) the firm from the employer will actually set up a containerizing appointment and tell us what to do! Gah. I think you are far ahead of us.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Where are you going to be moving to?
DeleteWe have had the moving company round, and at the end of last week we handed over all our contracts and copies of our passports etc to the relocation company for them to finalise all our bills, end contracts, and take power of attorney... eek. Well, I say that, but on the whole we have finalised most of our contracts ourselves. Sometimes it's just easier!
We are off to upstate NY and hoping we are out of our place before the 22nd- fingers crossed. All we need is the damn container and the credit card to buy the tickets and I hope they note that it's the week before Christmas and get the darn Agency to make an appointment.
ReplyDeleteKnow anyone who wants to nachmiete a mostly furnished apartment?
We are a month ahead of you then. I hope it all goes smoothly. I will ask around re: the apartment and pass on any details if I hear of anyone. good luck! X
