Hi Jude,

Hope your building work is going OK and that you will soon be moved in.

It looked for a couple of weeks as though our move was going to be delayed for a while which panicked our buyers as they have to be out of their rented accommodation by the end of the month. But suddenly everything has started moving again, so we are signing the final papers tomorrow and, fingers crossed, moving on 27th.

Vera

Hello Elizabeth....thank you and no prob:))

Take care

Morning:)

Thanks everyone:)

Vera...we move about the same time as you then and ours is empty too.
Going round again this afternoon to meet the builder to check all is ok re the work he's going to be doing, added a few items to his list too:)))

A neighbour is going to cut back masses of St Johns wort bushes today, lovely as they are they have to go to make room for the skip arriving Monday, then w/e Vic will start on the front garden, everything has to be cleared for the dog...lol and fenced off.

My sister garage is gradually filling up with our boxes and OHH yes our charity shop is doing very well:)) even my rags will be used:))

Will add photo's to blog asap, been as usual very slow with blog lately:((


No you carry on re your move its fine......anyone can join in :-) :-)

Hi Jude, I've only just got back to this. Congrats on getting your keys. I hope you and Vic will be very happy in your new home.

We are still planning on moving the last week in September. The place we are moving in to is empty but we haven't signed any papers for it yet as our solicitor is getting the land registry plans looked at again. The way they are drawn seems to indicate that we have no right to get into the garage that goes with the house and there is a dotted line through the middle of the house that looks like a right of way!

We've got garage, shed, loft etc. cleared and packed as much as possible and OH has taken down wall cupboards, book shelves etc. in our study. We have made so many trips to the tip and half my home is now in the charity shops in town. We are trying to get well ahead as, would you believe, we are going away for a week this month. How is that for timing?

Enough about me. This is your thread.

Enjoy your new home

Vera

EDIT: Added a missed out word

Great news
Now the fun begins ;-) ;-)

Well done Jude. Now the hard work starts. Good luck in your new home.

Great news Jude, wishing you both much happiness in your new home.

Good luck Jude. May you and your OH have a happy home for years and years to come

Yippeeeee we done it:)))) its ours and we got the keys:))))

jude :-) :-) :-) :-)

Ello Island....thought you'd find me here:)

A cull....oh my word yes l have, but l've had to tell Vic to leave me alone now, throwing craft stuff away is like throwing part of me away....if he keeps on there won't be any left, maybe thats what he wants...LOL

Vic has'nt started packing yet other than sorting plant pots and gardening tools.Plant pots are going to d i l so had to be emptied....they are very large, she's going to paint them bless her. She's also spotted a book shelf in the garage and a diddy wardrobe in little room. Vic told her the diddy wardrobe was going.....no way at this point as we won't have anything to put some clothes in, once we're sorted we'll start to add fitted furniture, then d i l can have it. It was my sisters.

l think we have one box still not unpacked from when we moved here 10 yrs ago...how long will yours stay unpacked??

jude :-)

Have you had a cull Jude? We tried but it seemed easier to just shove it all in boxes LOL OH got everso good at packing - a man on a mission :-D

Packing is a slow process....we had family here Wed - Thurs so all the boxes and bits that were on the 2 spare beds had to disappear so l could make the beds:))..they have just started to re appear this afternoon:))...we may have one more person staying here before we move, but he'll sleep anywhere.....

.......blinky eck we get the keys on Thursay:)))))

SuffolkVera....hows it going with you, are you packing yet??

jude :-)

Hope all your plans work out Jude and the place is ready when you want it to be with everything sorted just for you to settle in.

It's a very stressful thing moving especially when you have to have work done so try not to let yourself get anxious over things and take each day as it comes.

Good luck

Slight change....

Still completing 5th Sept and work starting 9th Sept, but now staying here till 30th Sept:))))))) could'nt stay with sister when l really got down to serious thinking:(

Vera....thats brill news, well done. It all works out in the end does'nt it. Yep you'll have to be mega organised and have it all ready to go on your return:)

Good luck

jude xx

Great news that you have a definite moving date. I hope you will be really happy in your new home and everything goes well for you.

We haven't exchanged yet but everything seems to be moving ahead now so we think we will be moving mid-end September, which is a slight problem as we are going to be away from 7th-14th September. Couldn't be worse timing. I shall just have to try to be more or less ready to move before we go away.

Well done, hope all goes well good luck in your new home.

Yeh thanks everyone, we are now very excited as you can imagine:) and this will be our last move so it had better work. We won't be able to afford another move apart from an oldies home:))))

Congratulations Jude and Vic. Hope this next chapter of your lives is a happy and serene one <3

I hope everything goes smoothly and that you will both be very happy in your new home x
