    My mum liked her DVD :). Brownie points for me ;).

    I've just done my first 'house move' activity and told Sky we are moving. I don't know why, but it suddenly seems real!!

    No third thing yet...but fingers crossed!

    You're making great progress. Whilst my bf is at his induction tomorrow I'm going to put Les Mis on. I've been waiting so long to have the house to myself to do this. Obviously I can watch films with him there but he keeps coming to chat!

    I know what you mean. I much prefer watching a film on my own at home. It's a great film, although I am a bit biased as I love Hugh Jackman :).

    Evening :)

    I hope everyone had a good weekend.

    I finally feel like I had a productive weekend. I got 200 questions done (£80) and we cleared out a lot of stuff in the flat. We have cleared under the bed, taken a car load of stuff to my sister's, nearly cleared out the shed (only around 5 things left in there) and packed some more boxes ready to take to my sister's during the week.

    Still nothing for the sofa, so I'm going to drop it another £10 tomorrow. I spoke to Sky today about changing our phoneline and broadband over. They don't offer the package we are on now in the new flat, so they were going to put us on a worse package (slower and with a limit) and then charge us £9.50 extra a month because they would have to rent it from another provider or something. Yeah right!! We are going back to BT. They will give us unlimited broadband.

    Nebuliser and bed.

    Night xx

    Evening

    Another 100 questions done today. I'm just settling down to watch the tennis now. Can't believe Nadal is out :eek:.

    I've just put the sofa back on Gumtree for £50. Fingers crossed it sells. If it hasn't gone by Friday, I'll put it down to £40. I'd rather get something for it than have to give it away.

    I'm going to make up another couple of boxes in a minute and just pack stuff into them.

    Hi Emz, wow you have been busy busy busy!

    Not long now till the move, when we moved we switched to Virgin Media but I regret that I prefer Sky TV as they now show the Formula One.

    I hope the sofa sells, how far are you into getting your deposit?

    Hi GRC :)

    I would never move from Sky for the TV side of things, but the broadband has always been a bit hit and miss. We only got it because at the time you could only get Sky Anytime+ by having their broadband too. We'll definitely go to BT now. I can't stand Virgin since my mum had it and it froze all the time. She's with Sky now too.

    I had an email about the sofa last night, but the woman hasn't replied back yet :(. We have around £430, but that will go up to £530 when my sister buys the bed. It's going to be a tight month in July as we have to fork out £1,922 when we move in.

    Wow, it's quiet on the questions front this afternoon. Still, I've only got 23 to go, so should get it done before this evening.

    Just came back on here to say the sofa woman replied and is just measuring her door to make sure it fits through. Fingers crossed!! Would be great to get rid of it this week.

    We did a lot more sorting out yesterday and got another big box packed up. Tonight we are tackling the kitchen and hoping to pack away what we won't use before we go. OH is away tomorrow night, so I'm going to spend the evening sorting out my paperwork (loads needs chucking out).

    FEDERER'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :j:j:j:j:j

    I'm so pleased. I can't stand Federer.

    Anyway, it has been another productive day. We took a load of stuff to my sister's this morning and I've got more stuff in the car to take there tomorrow too. We packed up a lot of stuff from the kitchen last night and just have the bare basics left. The front room is looking a lot clearer now. I finally feel like we are getting somewhere.

    Unfortunately, the sofa woman says that it won't fit through her door. So I'm just about to relist it now. I might start relisting it a few times a day so that it will get noticed by a few more people.

    I also sorted out all my paperwork and have done my 100 questions today.

    Early night for me seeing as OH isn't here. I'm up early tomorrow on auntie duties.
