today I came home in a van

A very large van. A long based Mercedes sprinter, and I worried all the way home about how I was going to get it into the drive (which at least stopped me worrying about driving it in heavy traffic on the M606, M62 and M1!).

Small was thrilled - suspect he’s going to be less amused when he discovers he doesn’t get to ride in it. Instead tomorrow we will commence a complicated operation that will see me take in 90 minutes epipen training , followed by taking children off the path, collecting a Jonathan, coming back here and fairly frantically removing furniture, relocating it up the M1 (before it closes tomorrow night :wall:) and then doing some variation on that theme the day after so that we can sleep in a different house for going to work on Monday.

All of this would be aided hugely by children being asleep now, so obviously they are awake and shouting. And I really ought to be packing things instead of blogging, twittering and scrabulousing.

Oh well.

    oh good luck, I hope tomorrow goes really smoothly. It’s really reminding me of when we moved with it happening so fast. Shout if you need help.
