It was such a huge job. The removals van was coming early the next morning, and everything had to be packed up by then. Megan could tell that her mum was panicking that they wouldn’t be ready in time. She was trying to stay out of the way as much as possible, but it wasn’t easy with Ellie. Mum and Dad were far too busy to take her for a proper walk, and Megan wasn’t allowed to go out on her own, so Ellie was full of energy, and she couldn’t work it off properly. Already that morning she’d chewed a roll of bubble wrap into tiny pieces all over the living room floor, and she kept managing to be in everyone’s way. “Mum, stop!” Megan yelled, as her mum lowered a box of books on to the hall floor. “What? What is it?” Her mum straightened up, red-faced with effort, and peered worriedly over the top of the huge box. “You were just about to squish Ellie with that!” Megan helped her mum put the box down on top of another one, then pointed to the space she’d been aiming for.
