So, they say moving home is one of the most stressful things you do? Ye fecking gods they’re right. Barely been online at home right now because every day this week after getting in from work I’ve then had to crack straight on with sorting out stuff at the old house so when the tenancy ends I’ll be able to get the deposit back.
Complicating factors are that I’m moving from a three-room unfurnished house to a shared furnished flat. This has left me with a crapload of old furniture which I’ve had to get either given away or skipped. Plus running arguments with my ex while the house is being cleaned add so so much fun to the mix – she moved out six months ago but still had a LOT of stuff there, and half the deposit is hers as well so is helping clean up.
Plus of course having to shell out two months’ worth of rent in August so that the initial deposit on the new place gets paid. Yes, I’ll be seeing a fair chunk of that returned when the deposit from the old place comes in, but who knows how long that’ll take. A nice lean month ahead it seems.
There are bright sides of course. My new place is just awesome; a flat right smack in the middle of Birmingham city centre, living with a good mate, cheaper rent & rates, absolutely brilliant location. I just wish this week would end already and some normality return.
