We are on a countdown to moving out of our house. We now have less than four weeks until the removals people come to take all our things away. You just wouldn\u2019t believe the arguments we\u2019re having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t pack that. What if I need it?\u201d That was me as Mum packed my dressing gown. She made the point that most dogs don\u2019t have a dressing gown and it is a luxury that I can live without for a while. I do understand that point in theory, but I\u2019m a girl who likes a bit of luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then there was the grief of Aristotle as Mum started packing up all his books. He sleeps in a room which has bookshelves all around the walls. He doesn\u2019t actually read many of them, but he says being surrounded by books makes him feel clever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have noticed that I\u2019ve only said we\u2019re counting down to moving out. We aren\u2019t counting down to moving into our new house yet. We\u2019re going to have a time in between. Mum says she\u2019s got it covered, but she won\u2019t tell us exactly what\u2019s happening yet. If I\u2019m being honest I think she might be pretending more confidence in her plan than she\u2019s actually got. She keeps telling us to take one day at a time and everything will be fine. If she doesn\u2019t tell me soon I\u2019m planning to check myself in for a trip to stay with Dad in Switzerland. At least I travel on a Swiss passport so it\u2019s easier for me. I\u2019m sure Dad would be pleased to see me. Although maybe not if I turn up on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime I\u2019m going to keep as far out of the way as possible in case I get packed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
