h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In addition to the trauma of actually moving, there is a relationship threatening pre-moving period if you have a partner. I nearly ended up with a divorce several years ago when my wife wanted to move into a smaller house (and I wasn't all that bothered)

Anything my partner liked, I didn't. Any area that I thought was brilliant (ie next to a pub) was sternly vetoed.

As it happened, while preparing our house for sale we discovered massive dry rot; paying for this has meant that we couldn't afford to move anyway!

I found the house we wanted easily enough it was the getting the mortgage insurance and a date to move that's been hardest. I was supposed to get the mortgage money through last Friday and move on Saturday in time for my birthday yesterday..

The mortgage people decided at 12.30pm on Friday that they wanted 3 more bank statements- me and my husband had 1/2 an hour before accepted our solicitors assurance that everything was OK and went to work (where there are no phones) when we got home it was too late to do anything.

Now after a weekend drinking and looking at boxes full of stuff we get the mortgage sorted only to find out the woman we're buying the house from can't move the rest of her stuff till Wednesday... so 3 and 1/2 days off work countless phone calls and a near nervous breakdown later I've got the moving to look forward to AAARRGHH!

P.S. our phone company will take 10-21 days to connect our phone apparently so you may not see me for a while!

As I said, STRESSSSSSSSSSSS.

Heya!! you're back! how's the new house? how did the move go?

and, well, everything!

ps, hows the dog??

Long time no speak Zedly, and no I haven't moved again. The article was inspired by the move home from Uni. The CAT is still a pain, he gave me an infected finger. :-|

Hiya Menz!

Sorry mate, I was saying Hola! to Technoyokel, I knew they was moving. Oops!

Hope your finger gets better soon.
