    tes

    If you lived local to me Id happily help you out. If can get to you on a megabus, I'll roll up my sleeves happily ( not a joke BTW)

    I am one of the rare few who absolutely LOVE moving house ( altohugh I havent sold yet, bracing myself for that) and I can bring order to chaos.

    Saying that this is at the last count my 37th house so well adept to packing boxes.

    Failing that, if you want any tips, give me a shout :D
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Just wanted to send a hug as like you loathe the chaos of boxes everywhere, packing, unpacking, to chuck or not to chuck dilemmas and all that energy that goes into moving. Emotionally always find it very unsettling too which just adds to the exhaustion...so to all of you moving/preparing to move big hugs and hope that the next phase of your live is an onwards & upwards one (paying off mort fab & no need to justify it - am sure people are happy for you!) big hugs & hope all goes well!

    Thanks Sea and Lynz, Thankfully, the pin number suddenly came back to me but not before I turned out the banking drawer 3 times, and I have sorted out the account ready to ask for the bankers order tomorrow. Have now been able to work out our debt which is now the highest its going to go at £19,730 and we are going to work at bringing it down. Sea I hope your move goes well in August; its not that far away. Lynz, I believe you would come and help me, and you not well either. You have a very active mind and find it difficult to do nothing. Its not so much me, but others around me who are bringing chaos. The computer has broken down and OH and DS have spent the last 3 days trying to sort it out. There are 3 old computers taken apart in the living room, stacks of computer discs, the left over bamboo flooring that was in the loft is stacked up. DS is faffing around looking for batteries for the remote for the tv. OH has got a load of stuff out, boxes and boxes of computer bits but I know he wont put any of it back. I almost forgot it cant really go back. However, I am feeling quite cheerful tonight. His acid indigestion is cured by the way. He self diagnosed a yeast infection and bought this stuff called threelac which cost £95 but which worked.

    Thanks fishface, am feeling quite cheerful tonight as have neglected packing and sorting although have shredded stuff from the bank drawer. But just wait till Monday and it will be a different story. I am glad we are keeping the internet as will be able to come on here after a few days and tell you all how it all went.

    I am aware I could be worse off. I'm glad I'm not like poor Lennie, stuck under the sea for 3 months and missing the summer.

    Hi tes just wanted to add my good wishes & I hope things can go as smoothly as possible on Monday.

    Just keep saying to yourself at the hardest moments "One day...sooner than I expect....I will be looking back at this and telling stories about it..."

    <That's what we did when we were cleaning up old cat poo and disgusting kitchen tiles when we moved into our lovely but very neglected home in 2003!>

    Good luck hon.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
