Stress!
 
We have just been through THE most stressfull weekend. :curse:

The packers came yesterday, container comes today. :ohmy:

Anyway, the weekend, well mainly Sunday consisted of "pack it or ditch it"
Having to go through everything in the house and decide whats going and whats getting sent to the carity shop.

I dont remember having this much stress before, not even for my degree finals.

Now once the container leaves, we move on to the next phase of the move, closing and canceling everything, gas, leccy, virgin media, insurances....

still, 27 days to go...

PS. if anyone else wants to vent their spleen, please go ahead, it will makes us feel better..

Good luck guys.

Good luck...once it's all done, you can relax and start enjoying.

:[/QUOTE]

they used to be Telewest, then Blueyonder, then NTL:Telewest now Virgin media....all cable TV, and are the best ISP internet service provider, as it's cable, and not pissy telephone.

I'll be sad at saying goodbye to my 20Mb internet connection :(

Fortunatly for me (but not my parents) I moved into theirs before I emigrated and left all my stuff to be packed by the professionals.
Mum and dad thought it would be a good idea to pack in some of their old furniture "just in case", leaving me with an extra bill of 100 pounds for stuff I don't even know if I want! lol
