My house move

(65 Posts)

The painter went to Thailand . The cleaner overbooked . Moving day the removal man walked into the bungalow, no knock, my two dogs did a runner for the road. I bought a wardrobe from his shop, it hasn't come in. No clothes hanging area. Chap who installs sky dishes checked the dish here the day before the move, all was well. NO, tv didn't work, no landline no internet - bought a dongle thing- . Elder daughter still in hospital .

And no hot water because I cannot read the instructions for the gas .

The sun is shining and the dogs love the garden

Hang on in there. It can take months to get sorted. You can only do so much at a time and it will get done so please don't worry and hope you enjoy your house.

Oh dear anniebach poor you! I sincerely hope, no I am sure it has all been worth it and hope that you are comfortably settled in less than months!
The dogs are appreciating it though smile,
And best wishes to your DD too.

No wonder they say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. It can only get better anniebach, just take one problem at a time and you will get through it.
Hope your daughter recovers well and you can enjoy the new house. At least the dogs are happy.
Good luckflowers

All the best for your new home, glad dogs are enjoying your garden, mine loves destroying ours. We get internet through 4G wifi, as land line broadband is useless.

Hope your daughter is better soon, and your clothes find a home.

Love that glass half full attitude annie!

Hope it all gets sorted quickly.

Hang in there, anniebach..... it will all come together. Just keep telling yourself how much happier you are going to be in this new place when it does! flowers

It is just 6 months since we did this and how I do identify with you! - so many things to sort out; so many hitches along the way! But it was all sorted pretty quickly and we had revived the appliances that went wrong and emptied most of the boxes after about 6 weeks. We still have some boxes unopened and some things I simply cannot find, but we seem to be surviving without them.

Good luck - stay strong - you will get settled in the end and it will all be worth it.

I hope your DD is well soon.

flowers I was going to say wish they were real but then you would find need to find a vase.
Hope you have good nights sleep Annie sounds like you have had an exhausting time.
God Bless you and your new home and may you awake to sunshine

Good luck in your new home (eventually! ?) It will be sorted in the end.

Anniebach Sat 21-Jan-17 21:13:18

I am ignoring the packing cases and reading gardening books, planning what I want in the garden ?

cornergran Sat 21-Jan-17 21:29:33

That's the way annie, it will all be worth it. Be happy in your long awaited new home. flowers.

Anniebach Sat 21-Jan-17 22:02:54

Cornergran, yes I have waited years for it , I first applied about 2002, was told no chance, applied again several times .

Every happiness in your new home Annie. Good to see you are doing the important jobs first! Once the garden is planned everything else will fall into place.

Anniebach Sun 22-Jan-17 09:42:18

I know my priorities Alima smile

Well at least your internet is working. smile

I have been wondering when you were eventually moving Anniebach. So the day finally came and I would like to join with the other posters in wishing you happiness in your new home.

Certainly sounds a challenge but hopefully things will quickly settle down for you and you are happy with your move.
