Getting ready to go
Since we accepted the offer on the house I’ve been getting ready to move by clearing out stuff. All the baby baby stuff has gone – bouncy chair, bumbo, baby walker, baby gym I donated to a local charity, other equipment I used Net Mums noticeboard, clothes, Grobags etc I sold through eBay. I’ve blogged “how to sell baby clothes on eBay” guide if you too need to get rid, I did just this but I didn’t have time to use Auctiva.
The removals people have been confirmed and they are coming to pack us up this Saturday 23rd July *gulp*! I’ve been on a redirection mission, most seem to need five working days notice, which is lucky as I have five working days until I move. Here are some of the links that made my life a little bit easier today:
Royal Mail for postal redirection
BT.com for telephone redirection, we get to keep our number!
MoveMe lots of useful check lists & reminders
Iammoving.com a quick way to tell lots of organisations you’re moving
Moo.com for stickers and stationery for your new address – I need stationery!
Tomorrow is a big day – we are going back to our new house to measure up for blackout blinds, appliances etc. I will of course be taking my camera and taking some “before” photo’s. I’m excited but nervous – its the most expensive thing I have ever bought and we’re broker than a broke thing on broke street come Monday’s completion!
Laters, Me x

Good luck with it all. I still twitch when I think about our last move – 9 years on. Only because we didn’t complete until 3pm on the day we moved. Some really incompetent conveyancers out there.
I know you won’t have that as I think you’ve completed and exchanged already? Clever lady.
Add me to your ‘We’ve moved list’ so I can pop a card over.
