We should find out within the next 24 hours that we could be moving in four days on the 17th February.

The full move will take two days, plus we intend to get access to the property on the day before to move around some of the existing furniture in advance of us arriving.

I have a big list of tasks to do this week including sorting out telephone numbers etc.

First off though is signing papers at the bank ………

Ok so yes, we were being hopeful. It was going to be ‘One Week To Go’, but it’s looking like we will have a 10 day delay whilst we get things all in line with our respective buyer, seller and removal company. The 7th February target move date may now become the 17th February.

On the up side, that’s more time to arrange things and pack boxes. More time to prepare a fully detailed business plan. On the downside life gets more busy later in February and we want to build up to an Easter period of potential customers as the tourist season kicks in.

At least we’ve just had a great weekend away in Barlow and Sheffield with friends so we are feeling generally upbeat, if a little tired from all the party frolicking. Thanks Jo & Derek for your excellent hospitality.
