Oh dear 
ā¦ Are you all packed a ready to roll but with nowhere to roll to ?
Hope you get it sorted soon orangutan x x
Iām sorry to hear youāre getting the run around Orangutan, my Daughter went through the same thing a few years back, it can be very upsetting, as you well know. I hope things work out to your satisfaction, good luck.
Well it looks like Monday will be move day, although a very very slight chance of tomorrow.
Yes, all packed and ready to go, supposed to be out by Sunday but have extended to Monday now. Incredibly frustrating, as was meant to complete last Tuesday and took time off work to move this week.
Iām afraid vendor is a VERY nasty piece of work, so will be glad when dealings are complete.
Hope all goes well for you Orangutanā¦moving home is stressful enough, without having added pressuresā¦
I echo merzā post ā¦
Thanks. Finally got the front door key (still need lots of others, but itās a start) at 5pm yesterday. Busy weekend aheadā¦
Thats good news 
Hope it all goes well for you now x x
First load taken over last night and a few books put on shelves. Always makes me feel comforted when I see some of my books out. A convoy of four cars went back and forth several times today - my friends are stars! - and tomorrow it will be just two cars. By Monday should be in.
Iām happily worn out and about to have a wallow in the bathā¦
Have been in our present house 25 years - dont think Iāll move again - have spent so much time and money on my garden - I wouldnāt want to leave it.
I hope I never have to move again! Iām getting to old for thisā¦But it has been worth it and Iām enjoying planning how I am going to make my mark on this place. Just too tired to do it for now!
Iām dreading moving to a studio apartment in a senior retirement community: I have to dispose of most of the stuff from an 8 room house thatās accumulated for 46 years!!! This is a way in the future after I have my surgery and recoveryā¦
we moved into this house about 12 years ago, we watched it being built so I am quite attached to it, we will probably move again though when we both retire to be nearer family
Try not to think about moving just yet Eileen - as you say it is a way in the future. You may find it will be possible to stay at home. Just get over your surgery and decide about it later, if you really have to. Chin up. Rena. 
I agree with this ā¦ Give yourself some time x x
This year end our period of rent is going to end so we should shift to a new home in 2012.
I moved last year but i was only in my last house for 2 years its all down to husband getting to his job .I am very keen on moving again as i do not like it here at all.I want to move back where we came from.Moving is hard work and very stressful i keep leaving gardens behind i have created and i still hanker after a garden i spent 21 years doing.I try not to keep any junk or clutter then when i move again it wont be hard ā¦Not sure i will be moving for a year or so thoughā¦As husband likes it here which makes it more difficult to move himā¦
I know how you feel Callumsmum. We have been in our current house over 20 years and I never fell in love with it - no instinctive feeling of it being right like you often get when you see a house you want to live in. It was my husbandās choice and I suppose it was practical and OK when the children were growing up. Now we are getting older it is too big and getting harder to keep and I want to move before it is too late. Husband is quite happy where we are and is wearing blinkers over the whole thing.
I had my own house where we lived for 14 years and I loved it, it wasnt much but it was mine and my kids grew up there and like others have said I had put a lot into my garden but then my son had a serious accident and we had to move into a bigger house to accommodate his needs which we all hated.
We lived there (and three places previous to that while it was being sorted) for 11 years then one day I was told by my sons solicitor to move out as he was moving somewhere smaller. It was a big upheaval as I had been told previously as that house was for life but it has turned out much better as none of us felt at home in that house as it was too big and not homely.
The trouble is our new house is now rented as I gave up my mortgage stupidly on my own house when my son had his accident as I wasnt thinking straight and Im too old now to take out a new one so this house isnt really secure.
Moved in June this year, boy was it stressful I am just only now beginning to relax a little, but am unsure of where I will be once the lease is up 20th June next yearā¦:shock:
Well it comes down to money really we lost about Ā£30,00 on our last house which we had done lovely we sold it for cash to move quick as houses were not selling,I was never keen on this house i didnt even see it till i moved in husband bought it he has done it up as i sat crying on the doorstep as it looked so shabby but he has worked hard to sort everything out.again we have spent a lot of money doing it up and i am afraid we just wouldnt get our money back should we move againā¦And i am getting a bit fed up of buying roof trim and new doors to leave behind.Its up a corner so its very quiet and private not over big but i had a fishing lake and woods behind me before and i so miss that feeding the ducks every morning was lovely .I have open countryside here about 500 yards away but it doesnt look as nice ā¦I have to be honest and say i am not sure when i will get out of here ā¦husband still has 11 years of work and he is talking of staying on after that grrrrrrrrrrrits possible we may be able to move back home when our mortgage deal comes up as its fixed till 2013 but that wont solve the work issue he was travelling for over 3 hours a day to get to work so we would be back to square oneā¦I keep trying to make myself like it here but its hard i think i am going to enter Rugby in bloom next year that willl give me something to focus on .I miss my friends and people in my small drive dont speak to anyone they come and go in silence ā¦thank goodness i have the dog !!!
