    I'd say what a relief but I expect it's more like action stations and trying to recruit extra people to help you pack! All the best with it all.

    Congrats! Good luck with the last of the packing. I'm still changing addresses (remembered my driving licence today) for the second time in 6 months. Luckily my redirection goes to my mum so I'm not bothering to update it and add complication.

    So very pleased to read of exchange finally happening. Hope you slept better last night and didn't lie awake thinking of what next to pack. Looking forward to hearing you're in your new home.
