As some of you know, well those of you who read my other blog over at Add Deal, you will know that a couple of weeks ago I recently moved home, again, this will be my 3rd or 4th move in around 3 years, so at least once a year at the moment I am averaging on moving around the different parts of Torquay.
Now as I’m sure most of you know, moving is a stressful time for anyone, but if you then add-on top of that a virus that gives you one hell of a temperature, a throat that feels like razors, no energy and a bad head, followed by all you want to do is snuggle up in bed and sleep – you then have an even bigger problem on your hands, not to mention that, that same weekend I had my family come down from the different areas of the UK.
Anyway, moving day, how did it go, well to be honest, it was a complete disaster in some respects, it was touch and go on the property we were moving into prior to the move as we had to ensure we had all the funds necessary and to be fair once we had all the funds it was then a case of getting up there and back before the moving day.
So on the day before we finally had all the funds and off we went to pay for the initial deposit and the rent in advance.
On the day we moved, the removers turned 1 hour 30 minutes late and were moving us till around 18:00 that evening, and even once they had finished it soon became apparent that not all of the different bits and bobs were here. So off me and my partner went to the old property where we discovered all the different bits that they had left behind.
There was also damaged caused to some of the furniture and have caused a major mark on our new home walls. What was more annoying was the fact the removal guys didn’t even bother to put the fridge freezer where we wanted it. Everything was hauled into one room, which was fine as it gave us more room, but not so fine when your trying to get things out of there.
By the end of the moving in day the front room had been set up and the TV was on, no aerial point so we had to make do with Lord of the Rings and a Chinese. The moving team we will not be using again and to be honest, I don’t think I will be moving for a good few years yet as I want to start putting some roots down and making a start on things.
So the move went ok, and as I write this I am presently awaiting for a Virgin Media guy to come and set up the broadband for me so that I can get back online permanently, rather than through a dongle.
