Subject: RE: Help: A difficult move-JennyO needs support
Jenny was sounding rather stressed when I spoke to her this afternoon, however she sounded more relaxed when we spoke tonight as she as at a friend's place. I reminded her of several things she can do for her emotional safety & peace of mind - which showed how upset she was as she hadn't thought of 'em.

She found out why the agent called the Dodgy bros - her boss said they act for the owner, not the tenant & she was to find out if the other tenants were staying or if the owner needed to advertise for new tenants). Understandable, but the agent could have warned Jenny she had spoken to them. Some of the advice the agent gave Jenny esarlier in the week is wrong, but she has worked out how she can gt around that situaton AND she does not underestimate the Bros. in the least.

Jenny is feeling very apprehensive about spending time at her current house (I wonder why!!) but has most of her valuable/irreplacable stuff safely away, apart from her camping gear which will go tomorrow. Stuff is being scattered around Sydney, into 4 households so far. Her instruments have gone to John's place, except for Grandmother's piano which is being moved by a specialist removalist on Saturday.

Oops, I forgot to tell her about the Shanty which would have given her a good laugh, so I'll call her early tomorrow. Waking up to a shanty is a Good Thing.

thanks for your support, Jenny appreciates it.
