Moving house tips: 6 weeks ahead

Plan for contingencies such as if the day of completion is pushed back, or the new kitchen you are moving to won’t be ready. Start to change your address with the correct start date or get change of address cards made. Get your pets checked up.

“They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”

As the year nears its end, I find myself wondering about the sanity of starting a blog. Hanging out your washing to dry for all to see was not the intention but more an evaluation of whether we could live more sustainably in a society that buffets us consistently with consumerism dilemmas. Should we try…
