Hi boswife,
Sure I will update you on my training. I see my post did not take. My first delivery of supplies was 61 boxes! The delivery guy pulled a full pallet off the truck. Took him 8 trips to unload it all. Poor guy, he had to go up a flight of stairs to. But they have this neat motorized dolly. That helped. I had a wall all ready in my daughters room. She has moved out so I have take over her room. does not look to bad. good to know that the next won't be so big. Only have to order what you need. So will update on Monday after my first day of training.

Ack, I remember those damn boxes! They take over your house! But if it works (it didn't for Blokey) it's certainly worth it.
Enjoy your training!

G'day Denise. I'm attaching a pic of my first delivery - and I thought it was huge but turned out to be only a small one! My supplies also live in one of my daughter's rooms.
We are 100kms from town so pick up from in there. Baxter was most put out as I think they thought the carrier had refused to bring it out to us. We have a big trailer and it is just easier and more convenient to us to collect it ourselves. They just load the pallet of stuff straight on to the trailer. Of course wonderful hubby does the hard yards to bring it inside for me.
All the best with your training. I am amazed at how quickly it all became 'normal' for us - hope you have the same experience!
