After a relaxing half-term returned to my empty space with high hopes of furniture and making some real progress. Purchasing confirmed that I should expect some furniture the first week, with the remainder by the middle of the month. Re-cataloguing is moving on - almost halfway-through the collection now.
Over a week later, all that has been delivered is a magazine rack - nothing else!! Add to this, difficulties with purchasing and immigration and frustration has set in. Tried to order some repair supplies from Raeco in Australia as many of the books have pages falling out or other issues which could be repaired with the correct equipment. Had the order approved and signed off, only to be told that overseas orders are only made once per year and this is not the time.
Another visit to immigration to try and collect my passport and not get it, has added to the frustration. Third time lucky tomorrow hopefully.
Luckily the lovely parents came in again this morning and some this afternoon and now there are about another 1000 books on shelves. This presents different issues now - with the limited shelving, it is almost full. Everywhere I turn at the moment, there are another set of difficulties.
The only way is up, I hope!!

Having one of those days???
That seems amazing that they only do international orders once a year - is that a school policy or Big brother.
Can we help you out with supplies?
Still working on the whys - I think I can find a way around it! Andrea is sending me some samples of tape to try and source locally. Thanks
