Hi, Jo--After a little time away from my blogging neighborhood, I've come back to find you're moving and have sent a child off to college and gotten rid of everything you own and are hiring strange men to do household chores. Boy, I can't take my eyes off you for a second!
Seriously, I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see lots and lots of pix of the new place! Congrats on making such a big change!
You go, girl! Well done for the vision and the gumption (and I really mean that word not just as a good thing, but a great thing) to sort out this bit of genius. Well done, you are looking at the future very clearly and I respect that!
Pah! There's far more to life than cleaning anyway! ;-)!
Brilliant news Jo! I am so happy for you. It is lovely when the house is finally sold and the pressure for perfection is off:-) I hope never to have to go through that again. Loretta
Thanks all for your good wishes. What a lovely bunch you are:)

Woo hoo!!! The buyers are very lucky. They have got a super house!!! Hope you got a good deal.
I've just left China. They don't let Foogle or FB or anything related like blogger. So missed until now. Happy for you. Though I imagine there are heavy feelings and ties to the home you had joint plans in and the home of your lovely children. I am sure the Germans have a word for the feeling of moving forward while still feeling sad at good byes, they are good at those words. Anyway without a word for it, I am sure you feel it - excited at next stage but that empty nest feeling we all get admitting our last child is our last one.

I am so proud of you and so happy! Who cares if tidiness waits for tomorrow or the next day or the next . . . On to the wee house!

Frances, I was hoping for a boring 2016, but clearly at some other level I wished otherwise:)
Fran, I feel just like that, like a snail out of my safe shell. A shake up will no doubt be good for me.
Penelope P, thanks for your good wishes:)
Pam, exactly, I'll tidy tomorrow..
