EXHAUSTED

The move went pretty well, especially we did not officially get the keys until noon yesterday.
By 6, furniture and appliances were delivered and in place and the rest of the stuff was hauled from the other house. Luckily it was just three blocks b/c a lot of it was just thrown on the back seat or in the trunk of the cars.

Frank was tied up in meetings, so he sent Lee and Derek in to help me.

This morning, I stuck a small load of prints in the washer and headed to the way other end of the house to work on the master closet! I hear the washer beep (done) an hour later and went to put the stuff on the line. I got 1/2 way down the hall on the other side of the lounge and hit water...
lots and lots of water...
the closer that I got to the utility, the more water there was. (I 1/2 inches deep in the laundry room)
apparently the guy that installed the washer screwed up the drain.
The laundry room, the family bath, the loo (toilet room), 2 halls and one bedroom were all wet...
I grabbed every towel in the house (and one cotton blanket) and threw them around to try and soak up what I could. ( I have no mop!)
got it done, the plumber came and also fixed the leaking dishwasher connection... and i started washing towels. I then had 6 loads of laundry to do, instead of the 2 I started out to do.
Still had to finish the shopping for household items today, as the bill is due in tomorrow.
Have not managed a meal yet (it's 3:30PM), think I may pass on the food and take a nappy.
I have to be careful using that word here (nappy) as that's what they call diapers!!!
Pictures of the new house are going to have to wait, sorry.
