Honestly - how lovely are you lot!
I can hardly believe it to be honest - this morning I was SO convinced it was all going to fall apart, and it's been stupidly tough packing boxes over the weekend while wondering whether we were just going to be unpacking them again...!
I have done a bit more money shuffling earlier to get things in the right place - and now need the statement from Mr Boss to finalise that side of things. It won't be far short though, and the balance is just coming from our long term savings pot anyway so all good there.
I've done the move of account for the water, TV licence and added the new address to the Big River site. (That one will be important!)
Voda are half way there with the broadband, I just need to call them to finalise bits apparently.
I'll probably try to pick off the easy wins on banks etc this evening.
