    All the very best to you all in your new home!
    Just try not to do it all in 24 hours?

    Says she eyeing unpacking 15 years later, which is probably a bit lax.

    Any ideas on how I can move
    Hoard
    Actual stuff
    OH
    Dogs
    Cats
    On my own when OH has pneumonia again?


    If you're splitting the move over a couple of days ( please say you are)
    Work out what actual stuff you can move the first day leaving enough in the flat to function.


    Once you start moving the hoard OH will be even more stressed although once he sees the Dr today the meds should make him sleep . I would use the 2nd bedroom for the hoard which should mean other parts of the bungalow aren't cluttered .


    When you go to the Drs and to pick up the keys see if you can get some boxes . Supermarkets don't tend to keep them now but off licences have strong whisky and other spirits boxes . If you get some of those don't overload them or you wont be able to lift them .


    Whatever day you move the mogs will need keeping in until you're ready to take them to the new home. So final run will be OH and the kids .


    Pace yourself I hope your friend can help and work lend the van. Hot here now so stay hydrated .

    ETA When you're finally leaving make sure all medication is together in a suitable container.

    Good to hear the hoard will be out of the way. Perhaps in the future if your husband can get decent counselling he will slowly be able to let those things go.


    I've just remembered the laminate you lifted . If you're planning to lay it in the bungalow it makes sense to do it before moving anything in , means you aren't trying to work around furniture etc.


    How are the migraines now? Hope they've calmed down . Make sure you eat and drink .

    I'm so pleased the move is finally happening, you deserve such massive congratulations for the effort you put into getting here.

    Best of luck with getting the hoard, the OH and furries to the new place xx

    Hope things are going well, if the hoard is in the loft you won't need to be looking at it all the time and the bungalow will be easier to maintain, I hope this is a wonderful new start for you both but OH must try to make a little effort, it can't be all you all of the time and now is a good time to start. I know he is ill but you are not in the best of health either and I feel for you, take care xx

    I'm glad you have a friend to help . Did the Dr confirm your husband has pneumonia? Hope the migraines have gone . I remember your husband had a friend who used to visit and vice versa. Does he still see him? A new start in the bungalow is a chance to try to change the routine a little.
