The Piggies are Moving

It’s a really crazy time for you @Betsy
Could your vet advise on Christian’s medication or could they provide a temporary overnight stay for him and Meg?
My vet did that for me when I had to be in London all day and husband was away and we had a newly post op piggy who needed syringe feeding and meds.

Do I take it that you also have a moving date @Qualcast&Flymo ?

I asked my vet today, Heather, and he will board Christian and Meg for me for a reasonable charge for 3 nights. I have the money (just) in my vet fund so I can afford it (my vet fund was severly depleted with all the care for poor late and lovely Velvet). So I am thinking that this is what I will have to do. It'll put my mind at rest that I don't have to worry about him while we move or the next day when we are away overnight.

Glad that you have found a solution to your problem, at least at your vets you can rest easy knowing that Christian will get exactly what he needs. Hope the rest of your planning for the move goes well! 📒🖊📎🚛

Thanks for asking, @Merab's Slave , yes, we are looking at half term week, 30/31st October. Should happen then, but I'm not counting my chickens as last time we sold a house with a chain involved, the chain fell apart twice and we had to start all over again. 😱

Glad you have a solution @Betsy
Now you move with one less worry.

Glad you have a date @Qualcast&Flymo
Hoping it will all work out this time.

Had a call from the agent this afternoon - the people at the top of the chain say 30th is later than they wanted, they thought people had suggested 30th September, can it be moved :doh::doh:. So it might be a week earlier - not particularly convenient for us but doable. It's getting to be like a game of Chinese Whispers - I really don't know where they got September from ...

Moving house is so stressful. I feel for all of you going through it.
 
Yet another spanner in the works - we were hoping to exchange contracts tomorrow, once insurance and mortgage is finally sorted. I've just had a call from our agents, the chap at the bottom has just announced he can't leave completion to the 30th, or he'll be homeless! Someone at the bottom of the chain really hasn't been doing their job properly, they should have made sure that cutoff dates and unusable dates were notified to the rest of the chain weeks ago, not at the last-minute. :doh::doh:
We can't do the week before, I've the vets on Tuesday, we have a family funeral in Portsmouth Wednesday, my OH has to be at work on Thursday, and if we complete on a Friday we end up with van loads of belongings waiting in the removal company's yard. Aaaaarrgghhh!

How's your move doing @Betsy ?!
 
Did we move today when everyone agreed in principle ?...... Er no. It's the bloke at the bottom of the chain here too! Hopefully once he has seen the Gas Safety Certificate he will sign his Contract and we can Exchange. 🤞
 
Sounds awful, I want a bigger house but all this moving shennanigans puts me off!
If it helps, my friend's house move when they were trying to buy their first home and move before his pregnant wife gave birth was delayed by... a hibernating tortoise. Turns out tortoise slept in by about 6 weeks and the owners wouldnt contemplate moving him until he woke up...!
 
Well I had some good news yesterday, we are Exchanging Contracts on Monday and moving on Friday! We would have Exchanged Contracts yesterday afternoon but one of the Solicitors in the chain shut the office for the afternoon for "staff training" I bet they just fancied an afternoon on the pub! Hopefully it will actually happen!
 
Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly - I have moved more times than I care to remember, and every time I say I will never do it again!
Funnily enough our 'easiest' move ever was from the UK to Switzerland.
The company paid for a professional company to handle most of it, DH went off to the US for 3 months before the move, and so I got to make all of the choices and do all of the organising.
 
Dear Christian, Dennis, Betsy and Meg
We hope that everything goes well for you tomorrow and that when you move your slave @Betsy remembers that your new cages are the most important.
We also hope she doesn’t forget to feed you.
Love and licks from
Jemimah, Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah
 
Yes, very best of luck for tomorrow, @Betsy , Christian, Betsy, Dennis and Meg! Hope everything progresses smoothly, and your residence is the first thing out of the removal van (after the tea making equipment!). Hope you all like your new accommodations in the 'grage'.
(After spending a day and a half in bed ill, I keep forgetting what day it is, so had forgotten it's your special day tomorrow)

We finally exchanged contracts yesterday 🌡🌡🌡! Our moving date is the 30th. 📦📦📦

Dear Jemimah, Priscilla, Phoebe and Micah
We are looking forward to being on our hutch in the "grage" and be out of the wind, rain and frost. Slave has told the removal men to put our hutch on last so it is first out of the lorry tomorrow. We hope she won't forget to feed us too! Christian also needs his fix of Metacam so we hope she doesn't forget that or else Meg says he's really grumpy!
Lots of love
Dennis, Betsy, Christian and Meg.

What is it about the man at the bottom?@Qualcast&Flymo and @Betsy

I think it must be that they are generally first time buyers who don't know the complications of buying a house, especially with a chain involved. So they use a cheap solicitor or conveyancer who doesn't give them the advice they need or ensure everything is done in good time. You get what you pay for ...
It doesn't help if messages from higher up don't get passed down properly either, as with our dates issues!

Do you have a date yet?
I know there are some pretty useless conveyancers out there.
We ended up with one when we sold my father’s flat. No chain - just us and an elderly lady who wanted to buy the flat but wasn’t selling her house yet.
I still spent hours doing their work for them!

:(:cen:
Our completion date is the 30th. Packing up starts on the 28th, on the 31st the last van load of furniture and stuff should be finished unloading. 🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚
@Betsy , hope you're coming to an end of your moving in and are soon able to celebrate with a prosecco or two :beer:
 
Oh we moved today, started yesterday. Removal men came in and started packing and part loading the lorry. We have 102 boxes to unload :yikes: :yikes::yikes: It is box city in this house atm. Will get some pics tomorrow. As far too tired now. The piggies are safely in their "grage" and were excited at dinner time but didn't wheek as it is all new to them. I haven't found the forage yet (it is in one of the 102 boxes somewhere) so they dipped out on tea time at 4ish.:(
