    It's all go Rosa! I opted to stay with my broadband & phone supplier and resigned another 18 months to prevent a house move fee. 
    I'm tempted by an american ff too, still debating it here!

    I have kept mine on a rolling contract which is stupidly expensive and has umpteen services I don't use, but it has worked out cheaper than signing for a full year - and as it turns out, they aren't available at the new house so just as well. 
    Fridge freezer space measurements are near the top of the list once I have the keys!

  • Sunday shuffle = no real change from last update.  All hopefully plodding in the right direction.

  • Sunday shuffle still = no further update as delay to house completion which is too complicated and silly to explain, except that it's made me bloody angry.  Hoping for resolution tomorrow.

    Thanks Buffy
    I finally got the keys this afternoon and have been round to check on it.  I wish I was excited but tbh am just completely wiped out.  Going to have an early night and hopefully find some enthusiasm tomorrow.

    Good luck with the move

  • Thank you @bellevie and @doingitanyway
    I think it's going to be a few weeks before I get the new house fully sorted, and I have had to revise my plans, but I'm hoping to turn a corner with it in the next few days.  It's too unusual to explain on here but essentially there has been a delay in getting entry and I am also having to clear stuff that should really have been sorted previously.  It will be OK, it's just exhausting on top of everything else.
