    Thanks for the replies.

    I've made myself a check list of thing to do, council tax, utilities etc... Hopefully I haven't missed anything important.

    Carpet fitters are arranged to measure up and fit a few days later.

    I'm quite fortunate in that my dad used to be a painter and decorator in his younger years and he has kindly agreed to take a week off of work to help me.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    I hope it all goes well for you, being a FTB I have been reading so much on the Internet, and as always it's usually horror stories which are posted.

    I will update next week and let you know if I come across any horrors in my new home.
