stupid question I know but which of the hams will you be in?
Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 million dollars
but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

Move accomplished!!!!

However, suffering greatly from Forum withdrawal symptoms - due to some weird connection problems, can't have a landline until BT has done more work in the road and charged £124.00.

Thrilled with new kitchen - battling with all the boxes - wearing weird clothes combinations - Ferdinand retrieved from cattery from which he nearly escaped - amazed that Choices look so nice - slightly disorientated -

Love to all, and thanks for all the encouraging messages :lol:

Can't wait to be entirely Connected again

Love, Munch

I'd been wondering how it was all going - and when we would hear from you. So glad that the Choices worked out well, it won't be long before you are used to it all!

Welcome back to the forum, Munch. Don't try to do all the unpacking at once.

Delighted to see it's all gone fairly smoothly, Angela.
:rock:

Now that it's all over bar the shouting, I can reveal that all that wheel-spinning and gong-banging backfired on me.

Thanks to a lying toe-rag of a landlord (a Brit - may the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits), our second house in six months has been sold from under us, so we are about to embark on our third move in 18 months...

Heyho!

Time for some reverse gong banging then! Munch, whenever you have a break in the unpacking, do give Phil a thought and spin a wheel or two.!

Congrats, Munch and hubby, and welcome to Devon! It's particularly beautiful here at the moment with the autumn colours and sunshine.

Cheers CJ

Plum - We're getting men to do the moving for us this time. It seemed the way ahead and actually, compared to hiring a van and both of us taking the time of work etc; it actually works out better value - especially on the sanity and marital harmony scale.

I spent my weekend looking at kitchen appliances (or as the husband calls them, "wife gadgets"). My goodness it was dull.

Enjoy the new house, but dump the husband.

Mine went ape-sh1t when I bought our new appliances without him, and hasn't yet stopped moaning about the hob because the controls are in the 'wrong' order.
