And GO!

Moving is pretty stress free in the US. That is until a moving company screws up...

Our move was booked in for the Sunday with a company called Youmoveme they had already delivered boxes and wrapping and we had begun the packing process, they were supposed to do a large amount of the packing but luckily my amazing hubby had already begun the process and done a huge amount.

Saturday morning I woke up and realized that since the confirmation email I hadn't heard from them to check addresses or anything else. I called them first thing and began to worry when I sat on hold for ten minutes. They came back on the phone and advised that there had been a clerical error and our move had been cancelled! We left it to them to try to fix it but a few hours later they basically advised us that there is nothing they can do. Panic stations! Nic then called around and found a company who could move us, it was a different service so we had a day of manic packing, but at least we had found someone.

We had already hired a trailer so that we could move the garage stuff ourselves so we hauled about five loads over to the new house and managed to get the kitchen unpacked too.

Today we are aching and tired but just starting the move really! The movers should be here within a few hours and away we will go!
