Pre-move buzz
Oh my god, we're moving out this weekend. The movers won't come till a week on Tuesday, but by then we'll be living with my mother. We still don't know when the new flat will be finished, so this interim stay with mum could last a while. It'll be something like 6-8 weeks I suppose - but during the time most of my stuff will be in storage & well be living out of suitcases - which will reduce any mess and negative impact we have on mum's place, and in a way will reduce the stress - "out of sight, out of mind" and all...
But it's weird. In a week's time I'll wake up in St John's Wood, this time next week my flat will be empty and I'll have one last day to pick anything up before it all gets put into inaccessible storage. I can't quite imagine anyone else living there instead of me. Very weird.
But there's still a lot to do - I sent out my first batch of "I will no longer be at this address - please cancel my ....." type letters... I'm quite proud of myself. I had pre-printed the letters, so all I needed to do was fill in the reference numbers, which made the whole task a whole lot faster. But there are so many of them, I've only got half way through (and that was the easy half!)! Last time I moved, it was out of the family home. Mum stayed there a while longer, and I didn't have any of the utility bills in my name - this time it's a whole different story. I'm a company director of two companies and nearly 30 years old... it's amazing how many ties I have already.. and how many people need to be informed!
At times I wonder why anybody bothers to move? (although moving in a a joint place with Mr J is definitely reason enough)
