right start from the beginning. this has been in the planning for years but like always lifes a pain in the ar-e and everything takes forever. i bought a house 6 years ago and it was in a state, long story short took ages to re do everything as did everything by myself with help from the missus, cut down 40ft connifers, 5feet off the top of 200feet of hedgerow, knocked walls down rebuilt walls, 2 new ceilings, all walls replastered new windows new doors, all flooring replaced, loft insulation replaced, fitted alarm, new kitchen new bathroom, new gates and all the rest. anyhow been on the market for 2 years and loads of people want it but either no money or can't sell theirs to buy mine, so stuck. then sold it last oct 65000 less than market value, turned out after 3 months they couldn't get a mortgage. 4 weeks ago sold it again to someone else who is doing a let to buy on theirs so they have mortgage. within 10 days they had surveyor out and following day got the report. now just waiting for searches to come back and good to go. we have arranged a completion date of 26april so not far away now. nothing is sold till the money is in the bank though and i must admit i trust no one these days.

anyhow i built 38 wooden crates 3 feet long 18" wide and 18" high and almost all the house is in them. the wife has 20 crates just for shoes clothes and the list goes on and on. the only things that are not boxed as it stands are 2 tv's, fridge, 2 sofas, one bed, washing machine. i am also bringing my 2010 transit van and the dog.

i will most probably be using burke bros in uk who will be bringing me a 40ft container on a lorry which will then drop the container on the floor and i will have only one hour to fill it as they charge £90 an hour for every hour over the first.

i have a quote for the dog to fly on thompsons but i still have to wait as i have no exact date to fly plus i need to make sure me and the wife can get on the same flight.

my missus employment is finished and done. ( long story with massive legal battle and ended up in compromise agreement)

my employer still don't know i'm going so will be sorting that out later.

wife has p45 and p85 all sorted.

i have quote to import the van.

still not found anywhere short term to rent.

still not found anywhere to rent long term.

still not sorted out bank accounts.

yorkshire water sorted and cancelled.

gas and electric still to cancel and sort out,

phone and broadband still to cancel and sort out.

just about to send my tax disc to dvla for a refund.

and that's about it for now so i'll keep updating as and when anything happens

Update:


Moved most of the stuff into a storage unit yesterday and Tuesday. Going to council tip to get rid of all rubbish. I found a holiday let 6 miles from Barnsley which is a terrace house and will do just fine. The buyers of the house have been a right pain in the ar-e as they managed to get my talk talk account closed without me even knowing. They wanted me out of the house today but I told them I couldn't get out till Sunday as that is the soonest I can get in the holiday let. Once in the holiday let I plan to fly out to secure some sort of long term let and also get a p.o. Box sorted so I can get my mail re-directed. Post office refused my application to hold my mail so ended up getting it sent to a friends house for a few weeks. Got a price from Burke bros to ship my stuff. Bearing in mind I've packed everything myself I thought a quote of 6 grand was expensive

That's it for now

4 days to go. House stuff all gone, van gone. Just left with 2 suitcases. The dog is booked on the flight on Wednesday. I and the wife are booked on the same flight. Just about everything is cancelled here. Got myself a hire car that I can drop off at Manchester airport. So that's about it and god do I need a beer when I get there!!!!!
