    The movers are here. 😳


    @chrisgander Best be quick. I know a lot of folks who already got them today, so I reckon the local market is flooded with kidneys. 😂


    @DVDBits Either that or we are hosting the 2020 Bubble Wrap Olympics in our house.


    All that’s left is the sofa! Anyone in Sydney need one? I’ll do you a great deal. (Frankly, the custom teak legs are worth more than I’m asking for it!) https://t.co/b0hHOU5Ny0 https://t.co/wCzhyX1AdT

    @charis This will be my third international move – though the first in, oh, 19 years! 😱


    Sydney Twitter – anyone have a recommendation for a good “end-of-lease” type cleaner?


    @bbkhbb Yes please!


    The movers are gone, but the Snook keeps pulling out gems… (that are going into storage). https://t.co/u3D2zRO0Em https://t.co/FKxrIW4MtK

    Final call for the sofa! MUST PICK UP BY WEDNESDAY 5PM. (I paid more for the custom teak legs than I’m asking for this!)

    If anyone wants to record an album of, like, soft 70’s covers of Fleetwood Mac and the Bee Gees, may I suggest this photo of @carbolicious and myself for the cover. https://t.co/9cvHfj0rbB

    @msharp Unfortunately if anything I’m about to be moving to a *smaller* place, and looms tend to require more room than any of my other crafts…


    @msharp Could I get a pasty on this hypothetical visit? 🤔

    Four photos of me and my sister @howdyamy, in varying degrees of cutesness/awkwardness. ❤️


    Can confirm. Right now the one with the emu and the kangaroo on the front is a lot more valuable. 🙁

    (The Snook reckons he’s got a chance at Italian too. Maybe between us we hit the international trifecta…)

    @joshprice @hannahyanfield @the_snook I bought him one of these at Aldi. He loves it. https://t.co/VZcuBog3yP

    @The_McJones I’ve got one. It involves getting rid of 50% of your possessions. Kind of a grind, but also super rewarding in the end. (I’m only half joking.)


    @The_McJones Yes, exactly! Or you can use Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace or the dreaded Ebay, but each one takes a toll on your mental health.


    @The_McJones YES. Ooh, I really like this idea of joy as the metric. Something you inherited from Grandma but you don’t actually want? Useless things that are personally meaningful? We might be onto something here.


    My team leaving drinks was a virtual cocktail making class. It was so much fun. ❤️🍸🤗 https://t.co/47feStUzf5 https://t.co/AWnvgdxxVy

    Suddenly realising where the Snook’s hoarding tendencies come from. Maybe I married an immortal. https://t.co/eWdx4tYhyD


    For all the cool mythology of this, it intimately comes down to the fact that the bad guy defiled his old girlfriend and kidnapped his new one. 🙄 https://t.co/1WQyvPW0Up
