So we are moving out in 2 weeks , the house we are buying has nearly gone through probate, hoping to be in within 3 weeks . Needs a lot of working doing but will start in the new year. Bearing in mind we started the process in the spring I was hoping to be out and in by the end of the summer. Not the best time of year to be moving but it will all be worth it in the end

Mad isn't it.

We had the offer accepted on the house we are moving into, in early June.

We are finally moving in on the 30th November. We too hoped to be in by the end of August at least.

It's nuts.

I was close to a year on a inter family transaction and we still had to do the conveyancing, back and forth,back and forth.

Citizen laid mine before I had a chance to paint the skirting boards. They also didn't bother to nail down or level the floorboards.

Last move, I went shopping for a couple of hours on the day. Mrs and son were not pleased. But it was worth the ear ache on my return.

We're on our 4th springer spaniel and none of them could wipe their feet either although I'm not sure wiping feet is on any dogs core skill list

Hmmm, I was just looking at them and wondering whether to buy one. Didn't expect my very next move to come on here and read a recommendation!

I think one person should buy one and then the rest of us borrow it.

Am I the only one who has a towel by the back door to wipe them when they come back in from the garden?

The only problem with the Vax is the liquid you are meant to use (vac platinum) costs about £40! It does last a while tho

Mine doesnt do a lot.Had an issue from the other side about a boundary moving.It was a new fence put up in 1984 after the old one blew down.My side said theyd contacted LLoyds about this,as there was a charge from them on the titles,and we may have to pay indemnity insurance.Asked her how it was going after a few weeks,and she said she hadnt got a reply.I made one phone call and got the relevant email address.Hey presto it was sorted in 3 days.

I've moved/sold several houses over the last few years.
Almost every time has been a slow stressful mess (apart from one which was inexplicably quick and easy).
I'd love to sell up, as would the dragon, and move to France, but I'm getting too old - now I'm in a position financially and family-wise - to do so.
The irony.

That's exactly what my missus just said. She's done with it all.

I don't think we ever would anyway. We have found a really nice place and it's only 8 mins walk from the beach and town centre and 10 mins walk from the train station.

It's been very stressful, but hopefully all worth it in the end.

Move next Thursday.
