Oh, I hope so too. Went and spoke to an estate agent today, a different one, and he's hopefully going to list our place. MIL's already trying to push the price up again. *sigh* Things are tense at work now and I'm frequently tempted to just walk out, so I'm really looking forward to the big move and putting all this behind me. Living in a small town means little or no chance of another job. Am tempted to move to a city next time!
I must say 4 hens sounds like a nice wedding gift. Wish I thought of that... But then DH and I ran off and eloped, we were lucky we got any presents 
Hope you enjoy your break! The hens shouldn't be a problem, hopefully. I had to drive down to Cape Town to collect 40 hens once. It was about 4-5 hour's drive. We packed them into apricot picking crates, so they were a little cramped and we then had to squeeze them all into my car ( a hatchback). The car smelled like a coop for awhile and it was a bit of a mess, but the girls were really relaxed and talked to me all the time. It was crazy, but it went surprisingly well.
NYRIR: am going to mail you some photo's now when I finished here.
