Big thanks to BigD for making mortgage magic happen, and to all SEers who helped or offered to lend a hand.. very much appreciated. If I'd accepted the many offers of assistance we could almost have made a chain from the old house to the new one and just passed the boxes along!
Things I’ve learned this weekend:
1. I’m not as fit as Victoria’s dad, and he’s been retired for *cough* years.
2. Kintore has good fish ‘n’ chips, but very bad pizza.
3. Moving house is a good excuse for not cooking for a couple of days (see 2).
4. My commute is only 4 miles more each way, which is only 2 minutes at an average of 120mph.
5. 86.3% of my possessions are never used, but are too good to throw out, so live in a permanent state of storage.
6. 46.4% of my unused possessions are fitness equipment (see 1).
7. Fitness equipment is heavy (see 6).
8. I dislike energy saving lightbulbs immensely. Henceforth, I shall be referring to them as darkbulbs.
9. I’m paranoid about all strange new house noises. Every creak is definitely either a poltergeist or imminent structural catastrophe.
10. I must urgently buy either curtains or pyjamas.
If you're passing Kintore, PM me for a postcode and drop in for a

at your learnings... And congrats on the move
