Have signed tenancy agreement on a lovely one bed flat with a balcony and wet room. I'm so excited. I got the keys on Monday and have started moving in some boxes already. Removal company coming Thursday to give me a quote and I'm hoping to be in before Christmas. My head in a spin thinking of all that needs to be done!!!🤪🤪🤪

Got my moving date 18th Dec so will be in for Christmas. The most stressful part is changing addresse and dealing with virgin. It took 4 hours online to tell them I was moving.... unbelievable. Today I notified TV licence people in 5mins. I contacted my energy company who will hang onto my credit money until 4vweeks after I move .. so it will be January before I get it currently just over 1000 which would be useful now as having to pay rent on 2 properties until 31stvDec. Car insurance and recovery straight forward once I got through. Complicated process with bank too....banks are closed so no choice but online...chatting to cora!!! The way of the world now Adams. Oh for the days you rang a number, spoke to a person and everything sorted in record time lol

Brilliant. New beginnings are great. The possibilities are endless..

Hope you'll be very happy! We downsized three years ago and have not regretted it for a moment - still trying to downsize our stuff though....

Aww you sound so happy, wishing you many years of happiness in your new home flowers

Well done - it will be worth all the effort. Every happiness to you in your new home. x

great news, if you can take some small stuff yourself saves on costs but makes it easier to put away when not all at once

Daisydaisydaisy Sat 02-Dec-23 11:30:27

Awww that’s lovely .May You be very happy there 🙂

Alison333 Sat 02-Dec-23 11:30:35

Congratulations! It will all be worth it in the end. Perhaps put a bottle of your favourite tipple and a glass on top of the packing and find out how to get pizza/curry delivered for your first night - you will probably be exhausted!

Good for you well done! Oh the joy of one level living we bought our current bungalow when I was 46 fell in love with it never regretted it! Much easier! Happy new move to you! Hope it all goes well for you!

Congratulations on your new home. You must be very excited

Bazza Sat 02-Dec-23 12:01:48

How exciting travelsafar! It sounds perfect. A great tip we were given when we moved was make up your bed as soon as possible. You’ll be so pleased you did! I wish you much happiness in your new home.

Nannan2 Sat 02-Dec-23 12:10:13

We moved to a new build in october and still have stuff in boxes🙄😄

Nannan2 Sat 02-Dec-23 12:10:58

Hope everything goes smoothly for your move. I moved 4 years ago on December 18th to. Only problem l have with my 1 bed flat is storage otherwise ok.

Congratulations! I moved to a shared ownership bungalow in April. I’m so glad I did. I love it! My one piece of advice - be ruthless and get rid of whatever you don’t need before you move. Makes life so much easier! Enjoy! 😊
