going afk
Just a quick post to let anyone who might try to email me that I'll be afk from Wednesday until at least Monday, or possibly a bit longer... We're moving tomorrow, hopefully. It's been a nightmare trying to move! Our contract is up at 10am tomorrow morning, but we haven't actually got the keys to our new place yet! We meant to move two and a half weeks ago; however, our current letting agent took like a week to give our new letting agent the paperwork they needed!! And THEN, last Friday, the new letting agent decided we also needed a guarantor!! This would be Ben's parents- they got the forms filled out on Friday and sent them in, but the agent "didn't receive them" so I had to send them in yesterday morning (hopefully they'll all pass muster- Ben's parents are on holiday in Greece until the 23rd!!!)... the agent put a 24 hour rush on them, so she should have them back by 10:30-11am today... Ben took the day off, and I'm sending him down there first thing to wait to sign for the keys, and then have him help me finish packing (we have our room and Ben's office to finish off, plus the whole of the living room and the kitchen to pack yet) and then clean the whole house, because when we hand over the keys we'll have to have the place spotless, and if we're moving our stuff tomorrow morning we won't have time to clean then. *siiiiiigh* I'm not having a good time with this. We also have to get a moving van of some description set up still! The guy we were going to use is out of York for the rest of the week, bah. He was really cheap, I'd been counting on him. I haven't slept for more than 9 hours in the past 4 days either, which isn't helping me get things done quickly or communicate with people well. Gah, and we still have to switch all of the utilities and the internet and the council tax! Gah, it's already 8am, I better get to work... When I can I will post pictures of our new place (assuming we get it!!)- it's really awesome, a big one-bedroom flat above a row of shops that we use all the time. We've been really excited about getting into it for a month now, so fingers crossed it actually happens, or else I don't know what we'll do.....
