Moving House - T Minus 4 Days

So far so Good except
  • Bank didn't listen when we set our joint account up, therefore charging us for a Select account causing us to go overdrawn in the account we haven't started using yet - Moaned - all charges refunded.
  • BT say I can't keep my number as I am moving to a new exchange, new number set up and ready at the new house from move date
  • Pipex can't transfer my account so I have to close my current one down and set another one up will set me up as soon as I get my new number activated, I will also need to advise everyone of my new email address (Bast...)
  • Sky are more than happy to move/keep me, have an engineer coming to turn me on (!!!!) next Tuesday, 40 bleedin quid, for what, to plug some cables in, Well I told them I don't have a dish at the new house, If I do, Ill take it down and put in on t 'bay (Damos' attempt at recouping the cost).
Talking of Sky, I called them to confirm receiving my online move request form which they didn't, rather than pay over inflated prices when calling these big companies, have a click at www.saynoto0870.com Normal Price for a sky call (0870 2403000) - 9p per minute, alternative number ( 01506 484000) free....ish

So as you can see all going well, at least the solicitors and estate agents are doing an half decent job.

On a good note -
Erm...

I only ever moved house once.
Never again.

Too much stress. Especially the bit where the person above us in the chain expected me and my 9 month pregnant wife, and 2 year old child to move into a hotel room for 2 weeks so he could move house in between his foreign holidays.

The estate agent could pass on my exact reply, but it did involve bricks, and something to do with every window in his new house.

We moved on the day we wanted.
