Another scary step
Well, I have just sent off emails and enquiry forms to two international movers to get quotes for The Big Move. One is a big multinational and the other is a local firm, so it will be interesting to see how they compare.
The big multinational promises to call me within 24 hours during working hours to arrange a quote. As Da Boss wants me to keep things under my hat for now, it might be a wee bit tricky to take this kind of call, but we will see what happens. I have contacted the local firm by email without giving them my phone number so hopefully I will be able to be reasonably subtle about that one.
I'm going to see what their quotes come out like and what I think of their customer service at this stage, but I probably will go with a local firm if the quotes are similar. I also plan to research and get quotes from at least one more company. Still, it's a start on this stage. Getting my stuff from here to Canada is actually the bit that scares me the most about the whole procedure so I've been trying not to think about it too much. I really do need to, though, because my stuff has to go on a ship in two or three months so quotes and decisions are definitely needed.
In less scary stuff, I got another half a sleeve knitted during the France-Italy match and I should finish it tonight. That leaves sewing stuff together and knitting the neck border and it will be done. Hooray! The match this afternoon was probably the best of the weekend. Yesterday I only stayed awake during the England-Scotland match because I was knitting. This afternoon I actually got excited and made noise during the game because it was a rather good match.
Um, yes, I was supporting the non-France side :-)
My neck is feeling a little worse than yesterday but still better than Friday. So not impressive but not as bad as it could be. Do I have to go to work tomorrow?
