Last time I moved - 23 years ago - we hadn't even had our house on the market but were approached by an investor was buying up properties in the area for student digs.....we'd been thinking of moving anyway (we were in Luton at the time and wanted to move back to North London) so we took the opportunity. We went through with all the legal stuff but somehow we got our wires crossed and were waiting to hear from his side when he phoned demanding to know why we weren't out yet as he had to get the place ready for the students by September and it was now nearly August. I was booked in for a Caesarian on the 9th and had to stay near the hospital due to complications, so we couldn't complete until the day the baby was born. So the day before was rather hectic......removal van came in the morning to take all our stuff down to my parents' house, then my ex had to drop me off at the hospital, take my daughter down to East Finchley, then return to pick up the cat (which didn't have a basket and spent the whole motorway journey jumping round the car shitting.) And this was before we'd even exchanged contracts........

Im sorry for laughing katie..but your move sounds like ours hahahhaha....all our moves.....i learned..ya cant plan nutting but it goes belly up..
the last move in dec was probably our worst...we put the house on the market...and it was sold within 3 days....we didnt expect it to go so fast..so we hadnt even looked at another place we were thinking condo..anyways willie got sick..i had a lupus flare up and we even forgot the house was sold....then at about 5 weeks to leave we woke up and went on a mad dash.....finally got a bigger bloody house in a smaller city 45 mins up a snowed out highway....and if i told you how the actual move itself went youd lock me up..
hate having to keep everything ship shape and perfect for viewings ..my heart goes out to you...my family are untidy shytes.
