How to move house (the easy way)
1) Buy a house.
2) Settle on a date for getting the new house.
3) Decide on a moving date.
4) Call up all your friends, and ask if they have cardboard boxes for your move.
5) While you're at it, ask how many of them are free to help you move.
6) Organise for a moving truck.
7) Organise for utilities to be turned on, the day you get the house.
8) Block out a date on the calendar with MOVING DAY written in big red letters, and plan your life around it.
9) Move.

9) Get a phonecall telling you that, actually, the people currently in your new house aren't able to move until the 16th.
10) Redo steps 2, 3, and 5 through 8 ALL OVER AGAIN.

Just show you it can get worse though...Our house's former owners were *still here* when we turned up on Moving Day with our removal trucks, well after the Moving Out and Vacating time.
They had not even finished packing.
Our removalists had to help theirs to load their trucks, so our stuff could finally go in, several hours later.
May your Moving Day be filled with only a totally vacant house, friends and family, and no former owners or their rubbish!

WOW. Okay – that makes me feel better. :)

Yeah, that was unbelievably annoying and almost unreal- that kind of thing should never happen.
To make you feel even better, I'll tell you that they didn't clean the bathroom either, left rubbish around the property, and made off with all the firewood... :-/
(And to top it all off, sent a Real Estate agent a year or two back to sound us out about selling it back to them. Very suspicious, but we knew he was asking on their behalf. Wacko.)
Looking forward to an exhausted-but-happy post about you guys being all moved in to your very own house. :-)
