Except the obvious!
We get the keys on Thursday to our first home, we have no furniture as such so got a Transit for the day, was thinking of keeping it for a few extra hours just in case, the biggest piece of furniture we have is a side board which we didn’t have at our flat its in my mates garage!
Changed my virgin media services, called british gas to change over my account, council tax done as well, water company told as well, pretty much all packed except the stuff we need day to day.
Changed addresses on bank accounts and work stuff. We haven’t redirected the mail as we have 3 more weeks with the rented flat, landlord being awkward he wanted a full months rental period not the 4 weeks notice we offered him.
Booked a long weekend off work to unpack, made the fatal error of buying new sofa’s and bed, the sofa company wouldn’t hold on to the sofa for another week for us so that’s being delivered on the Friday which in hindsight is a bit of an error. Ikea with the bed have been pretty great, pick a delivery day and they will do it there and then.
Have I missed anything? first new home and tbh we never thought we would ever afford a house and at 38 we were beginning to worry about where we would live when we retired or had enough pension to pay the rent, so this is great.
