Ok, so here we are all moved in and stuff. Blog activity has fallen slightly as we’re still waiting to have our phone line ‘provided’ by BT, so I only have interweb access at work and through the s-l-o-o-o-w connection through my phone (although Opera Mini on my K800i is actually surprisingly useful, in small doses).

After all the faffing around in the run up to the move, the day itself went very, very smoothly. Our removal men turned up at about ten past eight, and had the truck all loaded up by midday. I pointed them towards the nearest café for lunch, whilst I hung around waiting for the call from our solicitor saying that the money had gone through. That call came at about 12:30, and I had the keys to our new house in my hand very shortly after.

By 4pm, the removal guys had unloaded the truck and gone on their merry way, and Mary and I were left with a whole new house to play with.

I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet. I walk round the place trying not to make a mess, as if I’ve got to keep it tidy for the ‘real’ owners. We need a few bits and pieces so that we can unpack properly (bookcases mainly… Ikea here we come), and I’m sure that once we have our stuff dotted around the place, and a few less boxes, it will start to feel like home.

It occurs to me that I’ve not actually moved house that much in my life; 4 times in total, but twice I actually remember. Maybe this is how it’s supposed to feel

Anyway, here are some pictures of the day…
