Z is for Zapper (A-Z Challenge 2020)

In January of this year my hubby and I decided that it was time to move on to the next stage of our lives and move house.  I deliberated long and hard about whether it was a good move to take part in the A-Z Challenge this year (pun intended) given that we could be very busy, but decided on balance that having something to focus on might not be a bad idea.  Of course the decision on a theme was much easier to make – Moving House!  

Then Covid-19 put a stop to any ideas of moving so I’ve had to regroup and rethink my posts.  Which means I’m not as prepared as I’d liked to have been but here goes:

Z is for Zapper

(informal term for a remote control)

Ok yes I admit it, I trolled the dictionary for my X Y & Z words to come up with ones I could relate to moving.

But keeping control of your zappers when you move is very important.  Nothing worse than getting in, deciding to flop down in front of the TV with a take away after the stresses and strains of moving day and then not being able to find the zapper!

Come on, how many of you would be able to control your TV without it?

Especially when you’re so exhausted you feel like a zombie.

I wrote this before we’d even got to the stage of packing but it made me aware I’d need to know where the zappers went although hopefully our removal men would be as careful as those my daughter used recently – they bubbled wrapped things like the TV having first attached and secured the remotes to the TV.   

Note to self.  Keep an eye on the removal staff.

Actually at the moment (early April) all I'm keeping an eye on is the TV and social media.  That's keeping me busy and there won't be any removal men coming into the house anytime soon!
