Moving House Is a Nightmare
The title says it all really.
I’ve spent a lot of time recently making arrangements, canceling utilities, buying new utensils, opening new utilities accounts, and a multitude of other time consuming things relating to the new flat.
I don’t move in for four weeks but to make sure as many things are in place before I move, the last few weeks have been a to-do list frenzy, actually it was a Ta-Da List frenzy.
It hasn’t been made any easier with the constant workload I have at the moment. Most of which involves me being down in London a decent proportion of the time.
It’s all going to be worth it though. Soon I’ll have a place of my own to relax in.
The one thing I’m really going to miss though is the Telewest Broadband service. For the last three years I’ve had this uncapped, cable internet and it has been fantastic. Now I’m going to have to rely on a BT phone line, with Virgin, or BT ADSL. It’s a bit of a drop in quality, and I’m going to have to find a package that doesn’t put a download cap on the account. Those things suck.
The next four weeks are going to be manic, with work, Christmas, moving, and no doubt some more work thrown on top of that pile.
Moving once would be bad, but I essentially have to move twice. From the flat to my parents… aaaaaarrrrrghhhhhh…… and then 5 or 6 days later to the new flat. I won’t need to unpack much when I’m at my parents, and in fact I might be working in London for most of the week anyway, but it is such a chore having to load a van more than once to move house.
I really need to stop complaining about this.
In four weeks it will be over…. I just need to keep telling myself that.

I sense that Lisigator.com can serve you very well to manage the move.
Light and intuitive (like Ta-Da) but with some handy extras like the capability to arrange list items in categories, capability to tag and search your lists and much more.
To get a better insight into this app you can work the fully-functinal demo list (available from Listigator homepage).

How have you got on with moving house with BT? I’m in the same situation (forced to move from NTL to BT) but BT are being obstructive (see URL)
