Thank you lovely people - I feel like a new woman
Today has been the first day in a long time I've been able to relax properly and haven't been tied to the house crouching over the 'phone or laptop.
Just a little follow up work on the house move this morning. I sent details of the buildings insurance on the new place to my solicitor.
Mr Buyer has confirmed his lender has arranged to transfer the mortgage monies so no worries there.
Dentist this morning. I'm on a payment plan and managed to time my last appointment with the end of the notice period. Dentist gave me a little goody bag of brushes and toothpastes too
Popped in to see a couple of neighbours and let them know when we're going. Everyone is really keen to catch up with us before we go so we're having to cram in some social events :cool:
Spa this afternoon for a pedicure. Very relaxing and I felt I'd really earned it.
I also set up a redirection for our mail and contacted the key utility companies to let them know our dates.
Just a few groceries needed this week as I'm trying to use up any fresh produce before we go. I need to go to the market town on Thursday so will pick up then.
Yesterday it felt as though the process had really dragged but now I feel as though things have gone really quickly. Still seems a bit surreal and weird looking back to the start of my diary when I first started lifting small stones. I certainly feel as though I've moved a mountain now :rotfl:
Thanks again for all the good wishes peeps.
