More work, work, work, and a full skip

My finger tips r so sore from bloody prickles and splinters I can hardly type this!!
Douglas the skip man rang at 8am and by 8.45am he was pulling in with his vehicle and a 5m squared skip ( much smaller than we were hoping and needing but the biggest they have and the only ones we could find to deliver to Moeraki)
10 mins later the skip was in situ next to the rubbish pile and the day started.
The day finished at 5.30pm with the skip packed full to capacity and packed so well we couldn’t fit another item in no matter how small. The chest freezer had been tipped over thanks to the truck and a strop on the second go, after breaking the rope on the first!, and was emptied of the shit inside and this is due to be picked up when the skip is.
Andrew the new neighbour has a new low profile mower and is loving it so much he helped us mow a huge area which now looks fab ( photos at a later date as too busy snd too tired to take)- thanks Andrew.
We had a quick stop for lunch and a quick stop to meet Sarah, Hamish’s neighbour at Dunback but the rest of the time it was work, work, work, work, work.... and it was 27 degs boiling!!
Despite having the skip for 10 days we now need to call them tmrw to come and pick it up as we really can’t fit another thing in, so now we have to get a trailer and load the remaining tin and timber and take it to the dump ourself. Another job for Wednesday.
K and I r so knackered we r in bed at 9pm watching The Undatesbles!!Read more
