Moving House

We have just moved house !!!! its quite correct what everyone says about it being stressful. I thought i had everything planned , down to the smallest detail. Its impossible, the smallest of details hide in the background until the last minute then jump out to bite you. We have downsized and had some modifications done to our new house. When i say some modifications - we aquired the hous in Feb 2010 and have just moved in (Dec 2010) , we totally gutted the house , modified walls, replaced every ceiling and then had all of the walls plastered and skimmed.
Overall the move of the furniture was ok with 2 hitches, the 3 seater settee had to be dismantled before it would go through the new door frames and the bed base would not go up the newly modified stairs. Not the end of the world in the grand scheme of things. Then sky man turned up - but he didnt have the equipement to install the dish on the chimney (its a grade II listed building and thats the only place it can be positioned) he is rescheduled for between Christmas and new year.
Because of the scheduled move , we invited to my daughters for xmas lunch. she as just called to say the water supply has gone off !!!! - ok , into the car to ferry all of the planned lunch over to our house - i am sure it will all be enjoyable.
haqve a good festive season everyone.
